Below is a photo of a friends small window stepside. It was stolen two days after this show and the vin tag was swapped with one from a wrecked truck using the correct rivets which were then aged with acid after the switch was made.
The thief sprayed it flat black but didn't change the wheels, grille or any of the rest of the details. When my friend saw it in a shopping center parking lot he checked for the fuel pump bracket I had welded to the frame above the rear axle...it was there, along with the stainless hardlines we installed for the holley pump. DMV and the local cops would not assist in the recovery as the donor wreck was leaglly titled out of state and then the title was transferred.
Mayhaps this will happen to you!
