**STOLEN** 1987 Toyota 4runner in SoCal

[ASilhouetteLie]

Hey dudes so while I was on vacation up in Wrightwood CA some assface cock-smoker decided to steal my beloved 87 4runner from right in front of our house in West Covina. If you're near the area and spot her somewhere give me a call or text me at (909)835-7552. Thanks!

I'm gonna suggest that this is NOT a time that you want to obscure your plate.

I second Yukon4Runner's comment

With that said, sucks that your truck got stolen. I am not in your area but I am in SoCal so I will keep an eye out for it.

EDIT: Try posting this in the SoCal section of the Forum. It is pretty active there.

Hope you find it and its recovered intact. A friend had a motorcycle stolen, fairly rare, and it was found. So, you never know.

Red Runner, black top, 707 in the license.

I'll watch for it.

Just a little update.... neighbor just so happens to have a security camera system and I saw it actually being stolen. I'm gonna try and post it to YouTube in the morning. I figure Id blast it everywhere.

Looks like the perp was driven in a light colored Focus. Wow, this sucks. Hope they find the a$$holes who did this. Most importantly you get your runner back. Good luck!

Man they're fast.

Got to have an alarm and a kill switch on one of these things.

Pretty cool cars at that corner, I would be scared of the rest of them getting pinched too. That supra is an easy target, I keep mine in the garage because it's not alarmed yet.

Try sending this to one of the Jalopnik editors, they frequently post stolen vehicles and several were found. Someone might know something.

That's insane how quickly they can get in there and get the vehicle moving. Stay positive! You'll get her back. C@cksmokers indeed. I'm in Ventura County, I'll keep my eyes peeled. Good luck amigo.

Yea man my biggest fear is that supra going. Unfortunately unable to get it into the garage as I live with my in laws and pops-in-law has the garage. I took the battery out and put a club on it as a bare minimum. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

I use a club as well.

I'm told it's more of a deterrent; it will encourage them to move along to another ride but if they REALLY want it, the club will just slow 'em down.

When I eventually buy my 5th gen, it's gonna get lojacked.

I hate thieves. Will keep my eyes open in Riverside.

Frickin amazing how fast that happened. I read about the Ravelco device on a thread here and ended up spending just under $500 for its install. The company claim is that it hey have NEVER had one of their units bypassed. Will NOT allow a hot wire. Must be towed away or steal it piece by piece.

Makes me feel better anyway.

Good luck brother!

OP, I am sorry to see this.

I seriously can't believe people can just go steal others cars and live with themselves at night. I hope they burn in the depths of hell and get cancer.

If you are going on vacation next time, and you don't have a kill switch/etc, *please* at the MINIMUM at least remove the EFI relay which won't allow them to start it. That takes literally 5 seconds.

I'm with the others here... how the hell did they do that so fast!?!?!?

Don't feel too bad. I stick to what I said about removing the EFI relay, but we have seen on T4R that if thieves really want something, they will straight up just tow it away.
