Sadly this happens all to often,hoping that it is recovered intact and soon. HRP

 

Will keep a lookout on this end.

 

Am I missing something? are there Photo's of the Stolen items? truck? trailer? what is it that I am looking for?

 

going to hard to hide that truck and trailer........ hope he's sending out e-mails to truck stops everywhere.

CLICK on the website and plenty of pictures available.

.........................It would help to have a little better description of the vehicle, just sayin'. Good luck, hope it gets found.

 

I guess the trailer would be hard to hide. Engine stands and headers and things like that would be pretty hard to track. maybe of someone had a swap meet space and had a pile of each it would be a little suspicious.

I guess this is the trailer, someone spent a lot of cash on that paint job. I imagine that the trailer is in some industrial area parking lot as we speak though.

 

That's not paint Beaner, it is a wrap & unfortunately it is relatively easy to remove it if you wanted to make it less noticed.
I will keep an eye out while I am on the road!

 

..................I'm afraid you're correct there.

 

LOL I forgot about wraps, I guess I am in 20th century mode too much. I hope that they were insured.

 

A custom hitch that's removed, a hidden GPS tracker, number on the roof, due diligence on the owners part. Sad that folks can't keep their hands off others property.

 

Well this sucks. San Jacinto is not that far from me. I will be keeping an eye out. Here is a link to a pretty good photo. Note the details that could help identify it even with the wrap removed: http://www.hotroddersoftomorrow.com/Images/2015 Images/Pictures/GG Pleasanton/IMG_6796.JPG

 

Why nobody paints an ID number or a picture of a naked lady on the roof so the traffic 'copters can spot them is insane. What News station wouldnt want their team to catch this guy.

Update on the stolen truck from Hot Rodders of Tomorrow...

Update on the Theft of our West Coast Truck and Trailer. Our Trailer has been found in the Desert near the Beaumont, CA.

Unfortunately we are still missing our 2001 GMC Topkick C7500 and the stole EVERYTHING except our counters and crates for the flooring. They have also caused a ton of damage to the Trailer. We currently are working with the Insurance company to figure out what the next step is. Please pray for us, and keep on the look out for our Truck.

Thank you for all your encouragement over the last week. We all volunteer to help these students out, and are not going to give up because of a few bad people.

 

The truck is still missing, a couple of pics of the truck...

 

Wow - what a waste

 

Yea , it takes a certain kind of asshole to steal from kids (and folks helping them) doing good things .
I hope they find your truck , and those jerks who took it.

 

It's most likely all in Mexico, now. Something like that is pretty obvious. Even if it could be found, one would have to go through the state department to even try to get it back, and that's probably not going to happen, knowing government types.

tools and at least 5 crate engines were taken.
keep eyes out at the Pomona swap meet coming up.

 

tweekers

 

This deal just suck we as adults help the younger kids out and it take a few a=holes to screw the hole thing up, what the hell is the country coming too. One other question does the truck have a wrap on it or is it painted, if it is painted it could be in some body shop getting new paint if not maybe you should post what color the truck is so people can be looking for it, a GMC Topkick C 7500 is not a truck you see a lot of anymore so it could show up if the color is back too original. Just a thought that may help.

 

This situation sucks,I hope there's a good ending to it.

 

Wow...what scum!
Unfortunately,I cannot type what I'd like to see done to the losers that did this...all I can say is karma's a bitch.

 

I saw one of those trucks (all red) up here in Taos this weekend. If you want, start a conversation with me about any distinguishing stuff or VIN.

 

Really, this was a pro hit, and you think the first place to off the stolen property is at Pomona? Kinda like robbing the quick-e-mart and depositing the cash at the BofA next door

 

You never know, stranger, and dumber, things have happened. It doesn't hurt to keep your eyes open, besides, how many guys do you think are going to be selling tools and engines at the swap? They probably wouldn't stick out too much if they did it right.

 

Quite true. Sometimes, the cells that make up a crooks brain, also rob him of common sense.
