Very happy I got her back, 3/4 ton hauls my camper and boat.

Glad you got it back. It is in nice shape. Hopefully it came back in the same shape.

Which community do you live in? After 5 times you need to put in some kind of theft deterrent.

I know exactly how you feel, felt the same sigh of relief, when the 'Boxing Day Mercedes" was found in Red Deer and we got it home safely back in the garage so we could continue with our plans to head down south.

Many years ago I had a friend who had a used car lot. He often took out the rotors from the distributors on higher valued vehicles to prevent theft. You may want to consider that.

And that would help to the accidental global warming too I might add.

What is it that you think we can do with the plate #? You can't look up anyone's info. There's no "hack" into a database that will give your SIN and birthdate....what gives?

There's an official "stolen vehicle" sticky thread on a Calgary Car forum, which has quite a success rate, and the first thing you're required to put out there is the license plate no. Along with photos and detailed description about the vehicle and where it was stolen from. As well as a contact phone #, so the owner can be notified immediately if the vehicle is spotted. Example

Doesn't do much good if someone comes back on the forum and says "Yes I saw your vehicle on xyz ave" and then 8 hours later the OP logs back in.

Is it the tinfoil hat theory that seems so prevalent here?

You don't take your plates off when you go shopping? Man, talk about living on the edge!

Really glad it worked out well again. You have a lot of bad luck but also some very good luck to get it back in good shape each time. After being stolen 5 times and knowing it is one of the easier trucks to steal I would think you would be trying to do some thing effective to keep it at home.

The cheapest and easiest is to install a hidden battery interrupt switch along with a GPS locator. Make sure you get in the habit of clicking the switch off every time you leave the vehicle.

JB's Power Centre does excellent work for very reasonable prices.

put a club brake lock on that truck
