Never once have I had a vehicle vandalized or broken into until yesterday. Was at an offsite location for work training and came back to this. Looks like they used a screwdriver or something similar to pry out the window based on the frame damage. Tore apart the inside of the truck including pulling and breaking the panels off of the rear of both front seats. I carry my firearms and valuables with me, so nothing missing.

Where I was parked was mainly reserved NAVY, Marines and local PD. I was told 3 vehicles including a marked patrol car were broken into last week. My guess is due to my tint, light bar in the grill and blue lines on truck was probably mistaken for govt vehicle. I assume they were looking for firearms/electronics.

And now the fun begins getting things fixed...

I know the feeling. Had everything ripped apart and stolen from my s10. Just have that "violated" feeling. The paranoia will subside eventually, but you'll just be on the lookout more.

Nothing worse then liars and thieves. Sorry to hear man. Beautiful truck you have there. Too bad you didn't catch them in the act.

Sucks. My condolences.

 

I never even considered those easy remove panels for good hidey holes. Which probably explains why I'm not a professional theif. I'd suck at my job.

Unfortunately I know this feeling as well. My 2012 Sierra Denali was broken in one day when I went into work on my off day. Luckily I didn't have any damage except for a broken window which cost $120 to replace and re-tint. I wonder if you'll need a new door.

That sucks. I had a Grand Prix that was vandalized in the first month of ownership. I went to a high school baskeball game with a friend who had a son playing. In other words, I didn't have a kid on either side and no stickers identifying a school! I parked way out from the school directly under a light (again, new car) to come out and find it keyed and spit on. Life goes one, it's all fixable but it still sucks.

Yea I'm over it. Just one of those things that's more of a hassle to deal with after than the initial surprise of the incident. That is a prime example of why I always carry my weapons on me or in a bag around my shoulder.

 

Got quoted for $1100-1500 to cover all the damage. My deductible is $1000 so my pocket is going to take the hit on this one.

 

Just spoke with building management and got pics of the guys entering/leaving the garage and video of the incident. Newer Benz C300 with paper plates, probably fake. Going to have my contacts in law enforcement run it anyway, but probably lead to nothing.

Man that sucks. When I was in high school, my mom had a Jeep Wrangler that she would let me drive occasionally. I drove it to rowing practice one day, which was held in a local park near the water (naturally). It was a nice day so I had the top down and left it that way.

 

After practice, I came back to find three gallons of muratic acid dumped all over the back seat. The hazmat team had to be called in to clean up the vehicle before they could start fixing it. It was $7,000.00 worth of damage by the time it was all said and done. I never did find out who did it, but I have my suspicions.

That seems like a pretty reasonable quote. Sucks that we all pay for insurance but then dread using it over fear of our rates increasing. Such a stupid system in my opinion.

That sucks, glad nothing expensive was taken! I have never been broken into (knock on wood) but I have been keyed before and the feeling when you first see that is the worst.

Man sorry to hear that happened. I mean i understand people wanting to rob the truck but do they really need to do an unnecessary damage. Thats just being a dick and one that deserves getting shot.

I hate thieves! Walked to my 75 Corvette once and it was sitting on cinder blocks. They probably stole the cinder blocks from someone else. Only silver lining is it had 4 new Bridgestone tires that I had flat spotted the week before in a panic braking situation when an RCMP pulled a U-turn on the highway. Got 4 new BFGoodrich, rims, trim rings, center caps and 20 lug nuts from insurance claim. I hate thieves!

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
