TRD Pro Stolen

In March, I purchased the TRD Pro. I've been a lurker on here since then. I've enjoyed the 4Runner more than all the vehicles I have had in the past.

This is actually my first post. I wish it could be more pleasant. However, it's not.

I got home on Friday night around 9:30 PM. On Saturday morning, around 9:00 AM, I look out the window to find an empty space. I immediately call the community security, local tow companies, and finally local PD. Sadly, the TRD Pro was taken right in front my house. Local PD told me to go to the station to file the report.

It has been more than 24 hours and I have not heard anything. The vehicle was stolen in Sylmar, California between 9:30 PM on 07/17/15 and 9:00 AM 07/18/15. License # 7LAB981. Please keep an eye out. Thank you in advance.

Sorry to hear that your T4R was stolen.

Call your insurance company ASAP to inform them!

I hope they find it soon without any damage & catch the scum that stole it!

I don't have an alarm in mine and was wondering how a thief would start it without a chipped key

Sorry to hear about this and having a car stolen in the past I know how much it sucks. About the chipped key they might have towed it off this happens a lot now a days nobody suspects a tow truck and it can be done rather quickly.

Same question here. I don't think they would have started it, if anything they towed it out of the driveway and there may or may not be signs of tire scrub...who knows.

Interesting though because the only way I would see it being stolen is with the key itself or a tow truck which would make some noise.

Brother, the sad news it was probably professional thieves and that truck is long gone. My guess is it's 500 pieces by now in a chop shop somewhere in L.A..

I had a new (5k miles) Z-28 stolen back in 1987 and I WISH they never would have found it. Car was completely trashed (back tires were completely bald so you know what they did to it all day long).

Got the car back and it was never the same. Ended up trading it in like 3 months after I got it back.

I would have been much better off if it disappeared and insurance just wrote it off.

Sorry for your loss. Been there and it sucks. As I've said before the thieves are lucky I didn't catch them. I phucking hate thieves and it would not have ended well for them.

I do know one of them was killed by a Denver cop. Punk thief was in another stolen Z-28 and a DPD cop recognized him. Thief gunned the car and went at the cop and the cop shot him through the windshield. Two hits. One the eye and the other in the nose. Payback is a *****. :-)

Hi confuzshuz,

Really sorry to hear about that... I can only imagine how that feels! I was wondering if your vehicle has Toyota's Safety Connect service? It comes with a vehicle locator; just one call and they'll GPS it, then alert the authorities to pick it up, Best to you!
