Stolen CUCV in CA.

[Prerunner1982]

Ok it's not mine, however if you have been a reader of Peterson's 4 wheel and off road for awhile you might remember Operation Army Truck. Well this truck was stolen, here is a copy of the info off their website...

"On Thursday and Friday January 7th and 8th my project Army truck was stolen from a parking lot in Sun Valley, California. It was likely towed away as it is not currently in running condition.


It is a 1986 Chevy one ton truck, diesel engine, manual transmission, on 37-inch BF Goodrich mud terrain KM2 Tires. California license number 7A69881


If you know anything or have any information about this or if someone has tried to sell you some parts from this truck in the southern California area please contact me at Fred.williams@4wheeloffroad.com or call and leave a message at 310-531-9064.


Thank you
Fred Williams"

I am so sorry this is a shame to say the least .... I hope you can recover it soon , I also hope it falls on the the sob when he's under it ... Sorry I guess the anger management classes I'm forced to take don't always help ..... You may also keep an eye out for new adds on E-bay with the seller in or around your area ..A friend in the FBI said many of the crooks are using the internet as a place to sell these items with amost never a chance of being caught.. I do hope it some how works out for you .

I would check the impound yards ........most theives don't have their own tow trucks, lets hope this proves to be the case.

That sucks I was just reading those articles yesterday online!!!!!

I vote for impounded too... A non-running camo painted truck in a public parking lot is not a likely target for thieves is it? Unless of course you are an off-roading thief...

A few years ago a kid had his Acura stolen. They recovered but the vehicle had been stripped. Since he loved the car, he bought it from the insurance company and started looking on ebay for parts. While looking he found the front clip from HIS CAR. It was in a junkyard a few miles away. It seems that there are a LOT of junkyards around here owned by Muslims and their ethics are a bit loose.

Being that close to mexico, Id say it will probably never be recovered.
