    Seriously though...KIDS I'd say for sure.
    Was it ready to run or did it need to be loaded onto something and hauled away?
    If it was turnkey its in the neighbourhood.
    How big is this other truck????

    That sucks man, I can't stand when you work for something and someone comes along and takes it from you. I have had two cars stolen from me and I know how you must feel. Like the guys said, look around your neighborhood, its probably close by...

    Going to be hard to keep that under wraps.

    You should convert that to run on methane!

    start calling the scrap yards.

    I am glad I don't live out there anymore. We went back a couple weeks ago and the whole area looked to be going to shit.

    While I understand the humor you all are attempting, it is a bit of a slap in the face to the guy that has lost it. Little respect for our fellow HAMBer's please.

    I certainly hope it is located, soon. Nobody deserves to have their personal property taken.

    I was leaning towards kids and was going to suggest looking in local wooded area's, etc. But if it is that heavy, certainly your right, had to have been picked up.

    Best of luck!
