Help - my Vehicross was stolen

[SilverBullet75]

I'll help keep a lookout in Vegas... in case he comes this way. I'm on the roads a lot.

Sorry man.....

Spazz had some good questions. Were you selling your VX? How did you come into contact with him?

Peace and GL,
Tom

I was thinking of selling my VX (temporarily) due to financial reasons (which are no longer valid) - so I just want the vehicle back. I advertised it on Craig's List and he asked if I would take payments. I said that it was possible but that I would have to meet him first and that he could test drive the car. I am a pretty guileless *cough gullible* guy and I assumed that no one would ever steal a vehicle from a family man. However, I have been corrected and I have learned a great deal from this. However, I would still like to get the VX back in one piece. Can anyone do a lookup on the license number???

Make a police report ASAP! The sooner you get it entered into the system the better. Since they have the title they might try to transfer ownership. If that happens before it is entered into CLETS, it could be considered a 'civil issue'.

One problem you have is that when the police put out the BOL (Be On the Lookout), most cops probably are not going to know what the heck a VX is. My coworkers are always asking me that eternal question...

Good luck.

OH MY! :-( Yeah, that's a really pretty VX too.

I wished I lived there, because it would be ON then. I need some more practice with my compound bow and I figure this guy is pretty expendable. Of course, I'd spend the rest of my life in a cell and this guy would be out stealing cars again in no time. I would be spending every free moment cruising just hoping to see it. I just HATE people who mess with other people's lives like this. I just changed jobs to get away from one like that who I believe was scratching my VX.

I know someone in Santee, CA but it's been a long time - if the contact info is still good, I'll alert her so she can look for anything suspicious too. The thing is, people have probably seen it and remember it - it's a VX after all. But finding those people... that's the trick. You need to get this out to the masses. It's such a novelty (especially in that color) so I don't see the sense in stealing it. It's usually the really common stuff that gets nabbed.

This is really unfortunate and rather rare - someone just recently posted stats indicating that only 2 VX's had been stolen per model year. I'm really sorry you're number three in one of 'em now. And I wish it had happened to some jerk, not one of the good guys like yourself. I totally wish you the best on this and I hope they just took it for a spin for kicks and left it sitting somewhere.

You might also want to leave a Thread in Pirate4x4.com too. They have a section for stolen items and vehicles.

ARHG! I am just catching this! Sorry bro, I do hope she comes back to you in one piece. Hell of a crooked way for a thief to make off with a car. I know here in MD they take car theft pretty seriously and I do not know of one that wasnt recovered. Cali is a much bigger area though so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

You know, it makes me wonder.... boards like this create a perfect grounds for these sorts of !@#$heads to put together their plan. Speaking as openly as we do with one another about our VXs and even going as far as to getting into where we live, what we do, and some of our lifestyles.... man, really makes me wonder if it isnt possible that this board doesnt work like AutoTrader(Finder) for VXs.

Good luck to ya man. I hope the cops find him before you do. I know I would be irrate. Thats why I carry an 18" Maglite with me everywhere.

Ok, hopefully I can provide some assistance here. I work in law enformcement and am willing to help you any way possible. Give me some addresses, Licenses etc. (I know it's posted, but one concise PM with all info will be greatly helpful.)


I'm in GA, so I'm not all that close to you, but lets see what all I can find.

PM me

I feel physically sick reading this post.... My GOODNESS! I'm so sorry to hear about this.... I am going from being sick to getting down right angry. You are taking this very well Brent. Life is more important (albeit marginally) than our possessions... But DAMN!!

Good luck and may swift JUNGLE JUSTICE (as we say in Nigeria) catch up to the low life that did this.

One word: LoJack

[JAFO]

I agree but LoJack doesn't cover many states. It looks they have removed their coverage map from their website but I looked for one about a year ago and nearly half of the states are not covered. Including the Northwest.

I would buy but until they will cover me I'm searching for alternatives.
