My Suburban was stolen!!

R4Ltony · 11-15-2007, 07:30 PM

On my way home from work today, and April my wife calls.

April: "Do you have the Suburban?"(crying)

ME: "No, why would I have it?"

April: "If you don't have it, it's been stolen." (Crying harder now.) "Honey the truck is gone."

Me: "What!!!?"

April: "I came out to leave work and the truck is gone."

So the Suburban I just bought 4 months ago is gone. Without a trace. No broken window, No skid marks, NOTHING!
So if anybody in San Diego county or there about see's a White 2004 Suburban Z71 Lic. # 5ZMN106 Sit on it and call the cops.

BTW it has a "Sportbikeforum.net" sticker on the rear glass.

Oh dude, that sucks!!! I'm sorry to hear that! I'll keep my eyes open.

You just got it and it's a 2004? Private sale and the original owner kept a key?

Nope, certified dealer sale.

Well, talked to the Onstar people today. Unfortunately for them to track the truck, the program would have had to be active before it was stolen. The tech said the service would be working, but that in order to track the truck the thieves would have to push the button in the burb. I guess the activation isn't completed until the first time it is used.
In other news, the security cameras caught the low life scum in the process of taking the truck. At 2:10 PM three guys got out of a gold colored sedan(with a visible license plate too) and it took the three of 'em 8 minutes to finally drive off with it. Apparently they weren't pros.

That really SUCKS! It stinks working hard then and paying for stuff just to have it taken from you. Worse then that is the worry that the a**h***s will be back for something else.

Tony,
Sorry to hear this. I hope they get caught and your ride is recovered 100% intact.

Bad-mofo · 11-17-2007, 01:22 PM

If it was me I wouldn't want it recovered. Assuming it's fully insured. Which must be the case as you obviously financed it buying from the dealer... otherwise why to buy a used car from the dealer? It's probably still a hassle to deal with insurance, but Suburban is definitely not a one of a kind rare collectible vehicle. You'll buy another one after insurance pays. Don't think too much about it.

Yeah buy another is probably what we will do. Now finding one with all the features we want at a good price maybe another story. We got a really good deal on this one, and it was low low mileage. Every other one out there we looked at was beat, high mileage or way too over priced. I'd take this one back if it's not wrecked. All the trim and stuff is easily replaced, but body damage, well, a vehicle is never the same after an accident.

The gas is not getting cheaper, so as far as used old-school American SUVs go, the time is on your side. It may take a while, but I'm sure you'll find an even better deal. I'd just avoid dealers, that's all. It's going to be more than enough desperate people who can't afford gas for their SUVs they shouldn't have bought in the first place (for tradition, status, or "safety" reasons).

Funny thing, the Burb got the same mileage her old car got.(crappy) Hard to do better in traffic.....
