Stolen Overland Vehicle

[Hector G Mendoza]

Good Morning Friends, I'm member #15778. This past weekend my overland vehicle was stolen near SeaTac Airport. The thieves new what they were doing, they left no trace at the crime scene. My rig is a 2003 White Ford E350 4x4 with a fiberglass top. I have included a pic. If you spot my Rig, please contact the Police and inform them. During these difficult time, thieves are getting bolder and more desperate. Be cautious where you park or leave your rig. Thank you.

So what do you think happened to it? I can't imagine its been shipped out of Hawaii. Is that a popular model there? I know last time I was on the big island methamphetamine was really popular amongst the locals maybe that has something to do with it.

Start checking the beaches on good surf days id bet some tweeker surfer has it. Unless chop shops are super popular there and alot of ford f250 and 350s are running around.

Years ago my 03 Silverado was stolen while on an out of state trip over the Christmas holiday. Same deal, without any evidence. Talk about a kick in the nuts.

It's just not a possession, it is blood sweat and tears building it and capability lost.

Thieves suck. Especially the professionals. They have a special place in hell I like to think.

He said it was stolen near SEA-TAC, that is between Seattle and Tacoma in Washington State. So, its not likely is Hawaii.

I live on the East side of Washington, lots of Overland rigs come through here, I will keep my eyes open.

Not sure if it's my phone but the pic wont load of your rig. Hope I can load it one way or another.

Any good news on this?

 

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

My bet is that it went straight too a chop shop.

So what was the final outcome of this horrible loss?

OP was last seen here the day he posted. Wouldn't expect a response. Hope it worked out ok

I would be interested to know what type settings people are having theft and other similar problems while out recreating. I generally feel more secure the further I am from crowded areas. I mean the odds go down at least.

I have Onstar on my truck and it can track and disable the truck from a remote location. Stat tracking devices are cheap but have a monthly subscription charge. Can give minute by minute location info.

I see 1 or 2 local posts on stolen rigs every week around Orygun.

Well, that sucks. Have you gotten it back yet? What is your license plate number?

Can't imagine this rig with Hawaiian plates would be easy to miss.

Out of curiosity, is there extra insurance coverage you can get to protect at least the $$ invested ( I know the blood, sweat, and time can never be recovered, along with the swearing, frustration and trips to the hardware store)….Does anyone have extra coverage? Recommendations?

Insurance companies are always glad to take your money, make no mistake.

All you need to do is document all modifications and add-ons and provide them that documentation. Receipts of purchase, receipts of work done, pictures of the stuff installed. Or go to your local office and let them document it all as you point it all out.

You can be sure your premium will go up though, just so you know.

You may have to add whatever is not bolted or welded on, to your homeowners insurance policy instead, but again, they will want documentation.
