    Last week I woke up to my truck completely gone, no broken glass, no alarm, absolutely nothing. Police report has been filed, truck was stolen from Gainesville FL and went through 3 sunpass tolls the day after in Lakeland FL just east of Tampa. 2018 White, SR5, 4 door, 4 wheel drive V6 with a leveling kit, rough country cold air intake, soft top bed cover from Amazon, and a silver and black G front license plate. Has a Florida state flag sticker and Georgia bulldog sticker on the back windshield and an endless summer Florida plate 893CB. Truck had +/-106,000 miles, absolutely flawless, this thing was my BABY and I have been trying to hunt it down non-stop for a week now.

    Little backstory - on Sep. 14th I had my windshield replaced by American Glass Professionals, they had access to my keys and I cant find my spare. I wasn't home when they came out to replace my windshield so I never saw the guys or got their names. Then almost exactly two weeks later my truck was gone, like someone just walked up to it, unlocked it and drove away like it was theirs. I believe one of these guys either stole my spare or made a copy of my key and came back and stole it, I hope this is not the case but I have a feeling it is. They did too good of a job. After doing some researching, American Glass Professionals main Florida office is about 40 min or so from where the truck was last caught on the sunpass in Lakeland the day the theft so this makes me thing one of the guys that works there has the truck. FHP, Gainesville PD, Polk County Sherriff has all been contacted and American Glass Professionals reported to the police. If you see this truck, have any information on it or anything, PLEASE let me know - 678-206-3959. Would love for people to share this, add to it or whatever. As you all know, anyone who steals another mans Tacoma has to pay.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Oh, Man. I’m sorry.

    That thing is in some third world country by now what a shame. Probably won't get anywhere near what it was worth from insurance either.
