Stolen truck south edmonton
Hey folks, buddy of mine had his truck stolen last night. Grey toyota tacoma, white sticker on rear window reads "cobra apollo". License BSX-7557.
If you spot it please pm me, call cops.
He left it open, and it was running in his driveway. Any idea what the insurance company will say about it?
96st and 72ave area,

The scumbags running loose are the problem. When u cant leave your truck running in your own driveway stuff is totally out of control. Hope your buddy gets it back in good shape. .

Good to hear. Hopefully the lesson taught was learned, and that the perp has a full understand what it means to fudge with other peoples property!

Hopefully the perp was dealt with before the police arrived so hopefully they learned a lesson.
Glad they found the truck.

Glad they got it back! Even better if it was a bit of street justice for the Perp.

Be mindful of potential drug use in the vehicle.
A tiny bit of synthetic opioids left behind could be disastrous, particularly to a child.
Talk to insurance about having it properly cleaned.

Appreciate that. I will pass the info along. We did talk to police, merely let them know we recovered the vehicle and they could file it.

Two friends of mine in just a two week span had their SUV and VAN stolen in Calgary both NE area. What are your thoughts of putting in a kill switch to stop fuel or maybe battery kill? Dead no power till you turn on switch. Hard to do by a regular Joe back yarder cause of new technology or still simple? You might end up with broken window and a thrashed ignition but still have your vehicle.

Hopefully the “perp” is buried in a deep hole somewhere and never will be found...

I wouldn't call this a mistake!  and dealing with this on your own isn't very smart either as that's a good way to get yourself a criminal record!
