I just looked up the stolen car stats for Albuquerque - 4,754 in 2014 - and the number 1 vehicle stolen, 2004 Ford full size pickup. This (thievery) is Bullshit !!!
The recureing theme on so many of similar thefts is,,,,if you stop at a hotel, get a shower,,, and sleep in your truck with a shotgun....
Heard the truck was recovered on the ford barn reported by Truly Vintage. Still looking for the speedster & trailer.
Update- the truck was recovered Friday morning but the trailer and car are still missing. Two low lifes were using the truck to break into a house when the cops showed up. Seems the cops booked them for the stolen truck and house break in but from what we know at the moment, cut them loose without getting any info (or grilling them) about the car and trailer. Grr!!!! We will update this as we know more. Thanks All. Dan
" Dan from Oakland"--I changed the above quote to what I think SHOULD have happened.( after the cops found out where the rest of the property was) Hope you don't mind. Too much time and money is wasted babying these lowlifes. Put 'em down like mad dogs! Hope the owner gets his stuff back OK.
