    All Trac is a GPS finder original used to find kids using your home computer/laptop. Its the size of a key fob and you can place it anywhere. Once you realize your car is gone, you can find it immediately. If the car is in an underground garage, it switches to a cellular signal. Good luck.

    This ****s big time..really sorry to hear your loss...try to talk with someone at the docks too cause such stuff probably can be shipped out very quickly...perhaps a commisioned work.
    Also most common these cars are dismantled quickly and sold for parts....did you had an insurance on it,right?

    Sorry to hear about the car being stolen. It doesn't sound like a theft of opportunity but a well planned professional theft. Probably using some sort of repo rig. I think I would be checking with businesses in the area that might have surveillance cameras outside but it may be too late for that as a lot of those run on a 24hr loop.

    Repo rig or tow rig with an enclosed trailer sitting where it shouldn't be sitting at that time of night.

    So sorry to hear of this, Chris...I too am the victim of thieves, I know how it feels. I had my 30 Ford pickup stolen from a sleepy little town in Oregon of less than 500 people after my dad died. Made a report to the police, put it on the NCIC hot sheet and made a few hunderd flyers to staple on telephone poles around the state...put it on the HAMB too...never heard anything more about it. That was in '04. Hope your luck is better.

    I remember your pickup ordeal well , I think of it every time this **** rears its head.
    I can relate having lost 2 early el cameno’s to thieving s***.
    Anybody that’s never had a car stolen from them has no idea.
    Id give almost anything to get my hands on the ****s that got my cars.
    I hope the bird is found soon.

    Chris, sorry to hear about your Tbird.

    There's a Tbird shop up here by the Canadian border. I'll let them know to keep an eye out.

    The fact that the dogs, friggin 3 of them, didnt hear anything is absoluteley incredible. My dog barks every time someone walks in front of the house, and start ?growling? at night everytime theres a noise from outside, i think he hears peiople about 50 yards away, sometimes its even annoying, 3 dogs not hearing **** makes it real creepy. Damn *******s, if they put all this effort in something good they would make the world a better place.I dont think its easy to pull such a trick, but its so damn WRONG!:mad:

    Joel, that is very good! Its amazing how many customs get stolen, i had no idea.

    The dogs not throwing a fit almost sounds like it might have been someone the dogs know. My dog usually goes nuts when someone comes around except for a couple of people he knows. Or and obviously so, who ever took the bird was very good at what they did. Not some screwballs looking for a cool car to take a joyride in for sure.
     
  30. Im thinking two thoughts on this #1 some dogs wont bark if they KNOW the person,not saying thats the case but worth looking at # 2- everybody keeps refering to this theives as if they are methheads and stupid,it would seem they have their **** together when it comes to being riooffs.And if thats the case we alll gotta stepup our end of the game of covering our ***'sThat being said I think it makes me want to be more careful on protecting my **** around the house and when Im out and around...........JMO
