my 2003 4runner has been stolen

Hard to tell, but your ignition looks untouched? I guess it was stolen by towing.


Lucky they did not take the headrest covers off.

Funny about those headrest covers!

Still doesn't make sense that they towed it - and double parked it too!? :confused:
 
Have you checked ebay and local swap meets to see of you can find the missing parts and possibly nab the thief. It would benefit all of us to find out how the thief(s) moved the truck, any indication of scatch marks in the front of the truck from a hasty tow job?
 
the 4runner is at the shop. Just waiting for the insurance ok so they can fix my truck.....the insurance adjuster looked at it taday. Now I have to wait for the insurance
 
I guess it could have been a lot worse for you. The pictures look bad, but that stuff should not be too bad to replace. At least the truck is in one piece. The thing that puzzles me is how the officer who gave you a parking ticket didn't realize your truck was stolen. All of the signs are there: Fancy looking SUV with electronics ripped out of the dash, dash in pieces, parts laying everywhere. Hmmm, maybe something doesn't seem right? The least that officer could have done is run the license plate # or VIN on the computer in the police car. It should have come back as a stolen car. This stuff really angers me. :mad:

I agree -- that's very odd. I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers, but how any semi-intelligent person could see an illegally-parked, late-model SUV with a broken window and massive hole in the dash and not realize that it was stolen is beyond me.
 
Just curious and don't want to prolong your pain Haro, but how did they steal it? Is there evidence of hot wiring? Towing? Sounds almost like a collaborative effort between a towing company and thieves. That sucks!
