    Over this last weekend my truck was burglarized and my 21" lightbar was stolen off the front bumper. My concern is not recovering the stolen property because it isn't worth much anyways, but more so to bring justice to the POS who thinks he can steal things for free that we work hard for. Theft occurred either Saturday or Sunday 2/28 and 3/1 in south Ontario from my residence.

    All im asking is that if you see this light out there or on Craigslist or ebay to notify myself or Ontario police department immediately (case number 150305007). This light wont be hard to find because it is the ugliest light bar you'll ever see haha.

    It was silver/aluminum housing with clear lens and flat chrome reflectors with black end caps. The mounting legs were broken off and the wire was cut about 1" from the light. The lens had a small crack on it as well.

    Please pm me or reply here if you know anything. Thanks!

    Seriously frickin hate people that do crap like that. We go to work and work hard to pay for the things that we enjoy, and then douchebags like this come along and say "oooo I like that, MINE". Sorry that happened to you man. This is why I bought the "Amazon Special" light bars. Mine work very well but don't cost a lot. Been kinda worried if someone will do the same thing to my truck. Hope someone catches this A hole and decks em in the face!

I new I wasn't paranoid about how easy it would be for some one to take my ish.my friends think I'm crazy for keeping my truck real close to me were ever I go..if I can't see it I'm not comfortable..hopefully they catch who ever took it.

    Funny thing is the camera was attached to the bottom of the lightbar using double side tape and silicon. They removed the camera from the bar. Also the camera wire and lightbar wire were ziptied together and they were carefull enough to not cut the camera wire. Like they really had to pay attention and be carefull to avoid it. Why the courtesy I have no clue. But they left the camera just hanging. The ends mounts look like some type of composite or fiberglass and they just broke them in half. There are 6 other lightbars attached to the truck all worth more and probably just as easy to steal but nothing else was touched. The hi-lift was left, rotopax werent touched, everything else was fine. Just odd

    You know, actually I was thinking today on my way home how can we secure the bars to not be stolen. Because there super easy to steal. Like maybe some sort of locking screw or idk, crazy I was thinking this before seeing your post.

    Considering that they're willing to snap the brackets, thinking locking screws might not be too much of a deterrent.

    Actually didn't catch that it was "snapped" off, that's cruel. I was talked about roof bars or any that utilize metal mounts.

    I think more times then not, it's someone who is around your area and or knows someone who lives near you that ends up stealing that. Chances are they had their eye on it for a while even if some ricer took it to make their car look different. You might not need to look far but keep your eyes open at night because there isn't a huge market for it so flipping it wouldn't be worth it.
