PSA for Tacoma Owners in Denver

Hello TW,
I am writing primarily as a PSA that Denver thieves (I live in Wash Park) are targeting our trucks. I had my spare tire stolen a few months back but was about to leave for work this morning and noticed someone ripped off my pro grill and the grille surround.

I dropped off my truck to have a full security system installed with dash cam rear and front recording systems this morning but this is a warning. Pretty bummed.

 

That really sucks to see, hate those damn thieves.

 

Holy crap. I saw this before. I think they're looking for the tss sensor. That's a bunch of crap. Sorry you have to deal with that.

 

Wow, wtf. I'm sorry to see/hear this man. Seems that auto related crimes are on the rise in the Denver Metro. We've had a lot of break-ins our area as well, but this is a step above that IMO.

 

The dash cam seems like a good idea, hopefully it would prevent a future problem or at least identifies the thugs doing it.

 

Also, I'm sure you're making an insurance claim, but I have a stock TRD Sport grille if you need it. (I realize it's more than just the grille) Just send me a msg.

 

Hilarious that someone from GILBERT Az can look down on anything Denver has to offer. Gilbert is for cookie cutter snowflakes scared of Mesa and Phoenix. I lived in Phoenix area for 5 unfortunate years for work. Trash. I had more things stolen there in 5 years than my whole life in Denver.

 

Install a camera system on your house too.

 

That sucks. When did this happen? Night or during daytime? I remember when tweakers would steal cat converters during daytime hours.

 

That sucks, man.. Freaking Thieves. Maybe I need to make my dash cam purchase a higher priority.

 

2017s don’t have TSS sensors..

 

You and I know that. But the person who screwed up the OPs truck can't tell the difference.

 

Middle of the night

 

ouch

 

Should check under the truck just in case they stole/dismantled anything that could effect your driving safety.

 

I live in Denver and I have a front and rear dashcam.

This can happen just about anywhere there are people though.

Sucks.

 

That sucks. Best of luck!

 

Where in Denver did you have the cameras installed? Just got a 2019 and need a local place.

 

Vigilante justice.

 

Hate to say it. I have had things like this and worse (car on blocks with wheels stolen) and it was all due to having the car parked outside. I understand this isn't helpful right now but its probably time to look for a place with a garage if you can?

Did you have the spare tire lock? i was wondering if this tire can be stolen even with Toyota's tire lock.
