The Jeep is Gone

Post by aeiou »

Sometime on Friday night, my Jeep was stolen from our place in Del Mar. According to SDPD, there's a ring targeting Jeeps in the area right now, so it's most likely been broken down into parts by now. Besides being my daily driver and occasional desert basher, this rig was the basis for a Rubicon Trail project and trip for my son and me. Needless to say, I'm pretty damn pissed off right now.

Thanks guys.

Feeling violated and angry. I'm not there right now and my wife and son are freaking out and understandably nervous. That makes me even more angry. Having to rearrange my week and head back early.

I'm a light sleeper and I always park right outside of our place, so I most likely would have caught the SOBs had I been there.

Sucks man, sorry to hear.
I had my baja bug stolen years ago that i had put tons of work and money into. Right off my parents' driveway in San Diego in the middle of the night with everyone home. The driveway is a hill and the car was pretty loud, so we're pretty sure they pushed or towed it up the driveway. Never recovered it :-(

I've seen some pretty brutal thefts before too. One guy had his wheels taken off the car (because they must have known it had a killer alarm system I guess) and it was on blocks in the morning.

Thieves suck!
