Ok, the truck has been found.

If anyone posted this somewhere else, I guess maybe update it if you can....But please, remember that we are still looking for the rest of the parts, and to keep an eye out. The parts could still show up somewhere else..

Thanks again for all your support.

Here's (just copy/pasted) what I put on on another site I was posting on...

**UPDATE**

The truck has been found!... Although I haven't seen it yet with my own eyes, the police said they have positively identified it....It is completely stripped. Nothing is left but a bare cab and bare frame.

We were told that it was found in Caddo Parish (about an hour away from Ruston).

Please keep an eye out for the parts of the truck. I have no clue what happened with the rest of the body, suspension, interior, wheels, engine trans, etc....

Just keep watching for the parts in case they show up somewhere in your town, or on the internet. Let me know if you see something suspicious.

That sucks ass! I hate a ****ing theif. A couple of preventative measures for next time I've heard good things about, Don't put your alarm siren under the hoodsince nobody pays attention to them anyway; put it under the dash or somewhere in the cab, it's hard to hotwire stuff with 150db right in your face. Also come up with some kind of inventive kill switch, It doesn't even have to be a toggle type switch; be inventive. I'd tell you some ideas, but i aint givin my stuff away, just in case. When wiring your alarm, take the dash totally apart, that way you can run the alarm stuff way out of reach and don't power it from the fuse panel, which is easy to unplug. Also as above, lojack can do wonders! Basically in mine; if you can get it to start you have to unhook the battery itself to disable it, which means you won't be driving away in it. it's no so hard, just plan it well. My truck may get stolen, but it sure as heck won't be easy, think booby trap

The new thing they do is steal something strip it so bad the insurance will junk it and auction it off.They buy it at the action put all the parts back they took off and have a car/truck again.Do a little title washing and you can sell it.I daily drive a 68 mustang i got a alarm on it battery kill switch in the trunk.My best thing is i have a fake coil wire ill put on it looks real but its hollow.

thats a pretty good idea about the coil wire... i was workin on a lil honda civic before and the owner couldnt come up with the money so i told him pay up or it goes to the impound... well dont you know at about 11pm i get a call from the local police sayin somone broke into my shop and stole a car... i go there relize its the lil blue civic and i told the cops where to find the guy... he spent a few days in jail and i took him to court for the money he owed me plus the damages... i usually take take the coil wires off of cars if there sitting at my shop but for some reason i didnt to that car that day and thats where it got me... best part is about 4 months later i get a call sayin i got to go to the police station and make a statement so i go not knowing whats going on and someone stole the rims,stereo, half the motor, and a few other odds and ends off that car... he automatically turned to me... but i had nothing to do iwth it... next time i saw him all i said was "karma... it will get" ya
