STOLEN in LOS ANGELES: Silver 08 DCLB Tacoma

I'll keep an eye out. You might want to post this under the SoCal section.

There's lots of Tacoma's here in SoCal but I think your sliders will stand out as not so many have them specially the DCLB's.

 

For sure. Such nice people here. Oh man, i would hate to be the guy who gets caught my him if he finds it.

 

Good looking out

 

Sorry to hear, man.
I thought that they were almost imposible to steal, with the engine inmovilazer and the chip in the key..

 

Sucks to hear, hope you get it back or they catch that co## Suck#R...

I have seen a few people recently say they had theirs lifted..I know they can reprogram really quick for people that know what they are doing..

on a sidenote but not totally off the wall.. has anyone installed a kill switch.. I had one in my old Toyota pickup that was very well hidden and wired it into the stock looming, even Toyota couldnt get it to start when engaged... Then the only way would be to tow it away.. Dont know if it can be done on our new trucks but it worked great on my 91

Edit: Nevermind i found a thread on it...

 

Fingers crossed...

 

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Yeah I couldn't believe it was...gone. Crazy. The deductible for my truck is only $100 but for the stuff inside (of which there was a lot since I was in the middle of moving), there is a deductible of $2k through the homeowners insurance. Brutal.

THANK YOU! Very much appreciated. I took really good care of my truck and those bastards that took it don't have the slightest idea how much love went into that thing.

Thanks, will do.

I honestly never thought it would get stolen, but, ya never know...

 

bump

 

Keeping an eye out for it down here in OC, although chances are he's already passed through here if he's going to Mexico.

 

Aren't ICON coil overs serialized? Could be something else to pay attention to on craigslist for possible part outs.

 

How to people even steal cars now with all the electronics and stuff in the cars? It's not like the movies where they just cross some wires and drive off. Are they flatbedding these out somewhere to work on them? My truck doesn't even have an immobilizer (base model) but I can't even imagine how to go about stealing it. That sucks OP, unfortunately LA is a hotbed for theft.

 

Try running the Louisiana plates to see where it was stolen, sometimes these assholes will steel a car in their area, drive it out of their area and steel another car and drive back. There is a chance your truck is parked where the old tacoma was stolen, and park like they left theirs.

 

Keep checking craigslist or ebay to see if your parts turn up for sale. What kind of security did you have on your truck?

 

Only security I had was what came with the truck. Soooo...not much.

Bump!

 

Very sorry to hear man, hope that you can get it back

 

Two weeks gone...sorry I don't think it's coming back. At this point, I don't think you'd want it back anyhow. It's most likely all fucked up by now...it would never be the same

 

Yeah, not too interested in getting it back now - wouldn't be the same at all. I know pretty much every mile that was put on that truck.

I'd love for them to get caught though, by the cops or not, man oh man...

 

Yes indeed.

 

I recall how frustrated and pissed I was when my mt bike got stolen. I could only imagine if it were my truck! Hope it works out for the best
