    Nothing like coming out to find your truck stolen :mad:... its a bad feeling especially if you love your truck like most of do. Its common for car theives to steal vehicles then cross the boarder into Mexico from San Diego where I grew up. Well, one day I had my truck stolen, and thru the insurance I was able to upgrade and get a better truck. Well, I traveled for many years all over Baja, and I was south into Baja about 300 miles on a trip to Abrejojos for some south swell action, and as I am going thru this small town on a Saturday night, I passed right by my previously stolen truck! :eek: I was pissed! I wanted to go back, chase them down, but then thought, maybe not such a good idea. I knew it was my truck, it was a blue single cab, long bed Ranger 4x4, manual stick, manual 4x4, etc. and I had a shell painted silver, and the truck had custom silver pin stripping (give me a break, early eighties). It was one of a kind. And it looked just like it did when it was stolen. I hope you never find it and get a new truck like I did. ;)

    Thats what I am talking about, should be that way everywhere. I am in Fl now, can carry concealed with permit, easy to get just pay the dues $$. Still can carry your gun in your vehicle without a permit, with a 2 step process to get to it. Long guns open in the window gun rack is fine and is seen at times with some of the good ol boys...:D
