Someone stole my rims and tent...

[AL.WVSN]

But it wasn’t going to keep me down.



Bought some woods and made a platform inside the truck for us to sleep.



bought stock rims with tires via CL. And went we go!



no idea of when I will be able to replace the missing items. It was close to 10 grand that was stolen off my truck. Oh well, life goes on..

Man that really sucks. This is one of my fears when thinking of buying nice stuff, but you seem to have handled it well. Did you report it?

 

[Murphy Slaw]

I hate a thief.

 

[WrightRunner]

So sorry to hear that!

 

[LostWoods]

This is why I used tamper-resistant nuts on my tent... people are shitty.

edit: also why I have always had like a $10k rider for aftermarket accessories beacuse my insurance (and many others) didn't cover my rack or tent without it.

 

[KonzaLander]

Did you at least get to keep the milk crates that were used as makeshift jack stands?

I hate thieves.

 

[RoarinRow]

Wow I would be too bummed out to go out after that.

I am always amazed, inspired by, and jealous of people that seem to persevere and remain positive after things like this happen. I know that remaining upset doesn't really help the situation but DAMN would I be angry! Kudos to you for picking up the pieces, remaining positive, and moving on.

Al, that sucks! have you put it out on the local Land Rover club forums? NCLRC, Mendo?

I may sound so uppity... but I am in a better places than a lot of people at the moment. They may need those items they stole for a meal, I don't know but it doesn't get me anywhere if I stay in the shitty situation. They stole my stuff on Sun I believe, I built the platform quick and went on a trip on Wed. Now here I am in the woods...



Thank you all for PM/DM see if any of ya'll can send $$ and support - I'm ok. I'll be ok. Thanks for reaching out.

I'm 50/50 about it really.

I do Jiu-Jitsu and been doing it for a longggggg time. I feel like if I catch the thief that I might hurt em bad. Really bad so I want to move on, made a police report and hoping one day they'll recover it without me seeing another DISCO with it in our community and beat the f out of them at a NRLC meet....

i admire youre positive stance and outlook! Im taking notes. enjoy your time in the great out doors

That looks like an open industrial parking, shipping, receiving lot. A safe place to park on weekdays from 9-5 but pretty much a target for professional thieves nights and weekends. I'm amazed they left the spare.

 

[trail_runn4r]

Sorry to hear about this Al!
But great to see that this incident hasn't stopped you from going out and have fun.

All the best!

 

[AL.WVSN]

If anyone selling a RTT, send it my way lol.

Has to be hard cover tho.

Been here for the last 5 years, parked here etc for many years, no incident. 1 incident here is not going to stop me from doing the things I have been doing. I just can't fit my truck/tent inside my warehouse. Too tall.

 

[Pretzel]

How about now with no wheels and RTT?

Just kidding! Too soon?
Your outlook is amazing and I hope I can emulate your point of view should something similar happen to me. I would at the very least have filed a police report and be keeping an eye on craigslist, facebook and ebay for a few weeks.

 

[DINOZORD]

Damn Al, sorry for your loss but way to be positive man. Im sure you'll get something better out of this. Good luck!

 

[Munga Brown]

Oh... you're in a MUCH better head space than I am my brother! I'm afraid I'd just start kicking ass until I got everybody, that way I'd figure I'd have got them.

And bro... you're in SJ?? They did it for the meth.

 

[LD5050]

Kudos on brushing off such a negative experience

 

[Dave K]

At least put up a description of the stuff. Only so many places to off it. Especially the tent. Sad thing is that I’d bet it was “ordered” and had a home before it ever came off your rig.

Good luck.
