We’ve received reader reports of two Ford F-350 pickup trucks stolen in the past week or so, and just received this text about an attempted theft a short time ago:
Attempted theft of my 2002 F-350 at 5:20 pm in front of my house 1500 block of 45th Ave SW:
Saw thief in my truck, heard truck attempting to start, I ran outside towards my truck, thief jumped out of my truck and into silver/ champagne Honda Civic license plate CAY7778 and took off.
Police were called.
They’ve stolen all the chevrolets. Now it’s the Fords. What’s next? Dodge and International?
It’s always been the Fords. They’re easy to take. Mine was stolen ten years ago. It’s important to have a tracker in your vehicles no matter what brand they are. You can also have something disconnected in your vehicle as well to avoid theft.
How do the trackers work in practice? Do police actually utilize them to go get the vehicle en route?
Hi K ,yes you can watch your vehicle moving or standing still and if it’s moving they can put up a helicopter or go locate it by car. It’s at this point what every single person needs. It’s definitely piece of mind.
We just had our GMC 2500 champagne-colored truck stolen from outside of The Bridge restaurant on California Ave at around 6:30pm tonight. Black canopy.
Follow-up: Police have been called and our champagne GMC truck has a fire fighter sticker on the back. License plate is C12280X. Call cops if seen. Incident #: 24-116220
That was really smart of you to Let us residents know the make of the thieves car as well as the license plate. We ALL need to WATCH for that vehicle and license plate.. let’s focus on helping each other instead of debating on car models? I’m glad you were able to prevent your truck from being stolen. get a steering wheel lock and an alarm in the truck professionally. . Thanks for writing and noticing the THIEVES car make and PLATE NUMBER. I will watch for it.
Glad you got a plate number. It’s imperative we get our law makers to make those shaded plate covers illegal.
Sorry, comment time is over.
