Well the Safe Survived…

Thieves got into my truck last night. They tried like hell to get into the center console safe from Toyota. I guess they were unsuccessful, but I can’t open the safe to check. They tore off the trim pieces in the back seat trying to get into it as well.

I'm pretty impressed with the Toyota Safe. They obviously went to town with a crowbar and it faired pretty well.

 

I am sorry this happened.

 

Definitely sucks... I hate theives

It's bad enough they steal and violate your property in the process, but to also damage your vehicle on top of it freakin' sucks worse...

I'm guessing whatever you had in the safe is still secure, cuz dude(s) aren't gonna take the time to wedge that thing back into a shut position...

I'd be out late tomorrow night cruzin' through adjacent neighborhoods looking for the dude walking around w/the felony backpack!!!

 

Neighbors Ring camera showed them pulling up in what looks like a Subaru hatchback. Damn Subaru drivers always jealous of Toyotas!

 

That frickin sucks man. Parked somewhere you had a ring camera or anything?

 

Damn... wonder how much time they spent trying to figure it out.

 

This sucks! Even worse the damn police won't fingerprint or investigate it. Good luck with insurance. Everyone should look into zero ded. on comp. coverage...very minimal added premium.

 

In and out in less than a minute... then move on to the next one!!

 

Surprisingly Memphis PD sent out 3 officers. They pulled a bunch of prints off the chrome door handles. Oddly enough the thieves tried to read the owner's manual to see how to get into the safe when they pulled the trim panels off. Got some really good prints off the owners manual lol.

 

On one hand- congratulations! Much worse chaos prevented!
On the other hand; that bites! Hope it turns out well in the end.

 

They came by 4 times between 2am and 2:40am. Officers were surprised just how long they stuck around,

 

That's impressive. Hope they do something enough.

That's a real bummer about the truck being damaged.

 

Scumbags!!! Unless I’ve got something of value in mine, I just leave it unlocked to avoid just that.

 

Memphis. Explains a lot.

 

Damn the leo's must have been on overtime! Hope they get these scumbags for a few felonies

 

How did they work around the alarm, or was the cab unlocked?

 

I assume the truck was locked. Did they break a window to get in?

Leaving fingerprints on the manual is hilarious. I take it they weren't the brightest thieves on the block.

I hope the d-bags are caught and convicted. Sorry about your truck, man.

 

Bruh apparently not... lol...
A while back my neighbor showed me the video of his house getting broken into. Dude's were strolling through the backyard and garage like they were shopping at Walmart. Neighbors were in the house while this stuff went down.

 

That's awesome!!!

and yes as previously mentioned, not normal course for most large agencies to process thefts from vehicle...

So, hats off to MPD for doing that

 

PD tends to want to right off these small, personal vehicle break-ins as punk kids looking for quick scores. They tend to be part of larger "organized" crime. Glad they took this one seriously. Catching them may reveal their other exploits and prevent the future ones. Much like the cat thefts.

 

I am not the best believer but I try to walk the walk. I’ve had things stolen from me and it brings out a feeling in me that is not good.

I feel for you man.
I hope they are found and I hope they are found quickly. I’m surprised that LE fingerprinted the vehicle but I’m glad they did.

The fact that they got the owner’s manual out to try and figure it out is not something you hear about often.
