    Oh no! What a great looking truck. I hope you get it back unscathed.

    This may be of no help whatsoever, but I saw a truck of this color and age this morning.  Didn’t get a look at the plates. It was near the corner of Fairmount Ave SW and Harbor Ave SW at around 8am.  Can’t be sure it was the same one.

    Hey Brooke, I witnessed your truck doing donuts on both fields of Hiawatha @ 0552 this morning and then driving off on Admiral at 0556. I filed a police report. Sorry, that sucks.

    Hi Brooke, I think we may have seen your truck this morning driving around the parking lot of the old bartells corporate building (on intersection of Delridge and Andover). Not 100% sure it was the right truck but it was red, same model, and loud. Driver was erratically looking for parking in bartells lot and then on 26th Ave SW, eventually sped off and parked in garage of west seattle health club. Driver was Caucasian male in 40s, dark facial hair, glasses. There was a cooler and some other stuff in the back of the truck. This all happened between 10-11 am. West seattle health club my have cameras if you want to give them a call. Sorry about the truck, I hope this helps!

    Ah man – What a beautiful truck. Jerks! My K10 was stolen years ago at about the 3700 block of Belvidere. Ended up in the Skykomish River. Again, Jerks!

    New information- spotted this morning on Charleston and California at 6am with plates removed. He’s having trouble driving it so it’s making lots of loud sounds.
