Prof said:So Ian...if she drives the SRT 10, are you relegated to the Prius like me?
ianmaiden said:it is red. I have a picture I took of his car next to the truck, but I haven't loaded it onto the computer yet, but will have to post it when I do. Its not just a regular chick car now, its not a Miata, its and MX5.
ianmaiden said:Hey guys, thought I would come on and give an update on the truck. First, Ian didnt let me borrow the truck y'all!!!!!! That truck was bought for ME! Yes, I did have the alarm on and the doors locked. I don't know how they did it, but they managed to get it without setting off the alarm and I don't believe the cranked it in the driveway simply for the fact I was sleeping on a couch right by the window that is by the driveway I was parked in. My truck was right there at the window.
Anyway, Phenix City cops suck. They don't want to be any more than secretaries filling out paperwork. It was found about 7:30 am that morning. When I called it was 9:30 am. The crackheads that stole it (yes, really, crackheads, the impound man said he could smell where they had been smoking crack in the truck) had gone up to an old abandoned hospital just down the road from my friends house and done burn outs. It looks like they were pulling out of the parking lot back onto the road and punched it and it got away from them (too much power for crackheads to handle) and lost the rear end and it slammed into the curb, so hard, that it broke the wheel off the axle.
When I went to the impound I expected body damage too, but amazingly when the wheel snapped off the axle sat down into the backside of the wheel flat on the ground, so that kept it from cracking up the body.
They saw fit to punch the radio face in and of course messed up the ignition. They went through EVERYTHING, papers scattered everywhere, they even went through the toys in the bed of the truck that I had brought down for my friends baby daughter. There were a million prints on there, you know there was.
So anyway, cops called, they came and made the report, and when I asked about fingerprints they came up with the excuse that the investigator for that was off today, I am like, SOOOO, get him down here anyway. They said it couldnt be done, and that the vehicle was compromised anyway, since the impound/wrecker people had touched the truck. BS, because, when I told them this, they said no, thats not true, that they had their fingerprints on file for that very reason. Bottom line, the cops don't want to do any REAL police work.
So I guess you can go out and steal an expensive truck and joy ride, crash it, and get away with it..isnt that just nice.
I read about what Ian was saying about the insurance, but so far they have been very cooperative and for the most part on top of things, they are being slow to get an adjuster out to the dealer we left the truck with.
Hopefully things will be okay and return to normal in a couple of weeks.
I dont know why that mad face is up on the header, sorry about that!
