Had my box stolen monday night, it was outside on some saw horses, had it soda blasted the night before and just finished removing the rest of the wood floor getting ready for primer, still depressed

man that sucks!! any evidence left behind?

big_al_71 · 04-28-2010, 07:29 AM

Wow, that really sucks big time...I hate thieves....sorry that happened to you..

dauntless_powered · 04-28-2010, 07:51 AM

The really crappy thing is, they prob are not going to even use it, just scrap it for cash.. sorry to hear that man.

*Shane* · 04-28-2010, 08:39 AM

someone stole an entire bed?

Tx Firefighter · 04-28-2010, 08:57 AM

Yep, I'd be looking for scrappers not old truck guys. Scrap prices are in the stratosphere right now. They will steal anything that is metal and not bolted down.

**GruntMoanCough** · 04-28-2010, 01:11 PM

Stolen? In Salmon Arm? Sure you didn't just miss place it?
Just kidding, that sucks big time. Maybe report it to the RCMP, might be some shady characters around that they are aware of. Good luck locating it

red71c10 · 04-28-2010, 03:08 PM

It's probably those miserable tweaker meth monkeys!!! They'd steal the metal from your teeth given half the chance.

POPO1984 · 04-28-2010, 04:27 PM

set some more metal out there and wait on them with a nice rifle

mclairmo · 04-28-2010, 05:50 PM

Might be time to visit the local scrap yard and see if it turns up. Put the word out. Scrappers are not supposed to knowingly receive stolen property. If you put them on notice, then they might not accept it or might call you up if they get it in. Good luck.

69halfton · 04-28-2010, 05:56 PM

have to agree with mclairmo, if you put the word out to the scrap yards in the area (or closest to you) it might make them more aware of anybody dropping off blasted, prepped, rustless pickup beds...

still can't belive they took the whole thing, you'd need at least 4 people to do that silently & quickly...

If I were you I would leave a pile of aluminum scrap in the yard tonight and wait for them so they can meet the wrong end of my AR-15, then yell at them like Jack Bower "Get On The Ground!!!"

I feel for ya man, hope you get it back! Check the scrappers like said above.

**El Jay** · 04-28-2010, 06:26 PM

About all I can say is, I hate people that thieve.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-28-2010, 06:32 PM

dang that SUCKS! Id put the word out at the metalyards...heck have the owners get their names/#'s and you can get back to em sometime..

Hubscrub · 04-28-2010, 06:56 PM

i hate a

theif

sorry to hear about that, stupid people take stuff you and i work for because there too lazy to work

71LowBow · 04-29-2010, 12:05 AM

thanks guys for your sympathy i dont think its going for scrap as im at a welding shop and there is a bunch of other stuff out side that would be worth more for scrap. i think someone stole it to use it. theres a few custom things on the the box that nobody would notice but me. so i have a feeling i might find it one day
thanks rob

Jacfourteen · 04-29-2010, 01:09 AM

Yeah that sucks, hope it turns up.

heeroyue2002 · 04-29-2010, 03:14 AM
