Someone stole my roof. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I cut the roof off a parts cab to give to a friend, I went inside for about 5 minutes to get a drink. When I come back out the roof is gone.

1LoC10 · 09-21-2007, 09:00 PM

did you cut it off out in the street by the curb..lol

salazar44 · 09-21-2007, 09:17 PM

are you kidding? someone may have thought it was scrap metal??

David Flores · 09-21-2007, 09:24 PM

No, I had the cab on top of the dock at the shop, which is about 50 feet from the road.

I know this sucks, and well its totally wrong.. but I kinda wish there was a pic of your face when you walked outside. It had to look something like this

LMAO...Ill bet your still snickering.

We had this happen at work once. Im in the copier business and when we rebuild machines we roll em outside and blow em out real good with the air hose. One time I was doing this and had to go in and take a call. When I came back out it was gone ???? Turns out the metal scrappers came by and thought we had put it out for them. Poof!!! gone...

SIR · 09-22-2007, 12:48 PM

..between the "tweekers" and the high price of scrap you can't leave ANYTHING laying around....what cha gonna do now??

60ratrod · 09-22-2007, 05:28 PM

what's this world coming to?? when a simple person can't leave the roof of a truck unatended for 5 simple minutes. what's bad is on the ship(seeing as how i'm in the navy) you really can't leave anything out. i've actually had my dirty underwear stolen right off of my rack(military for bed)!!! this is what my reaction was to that

Ham-er · 09-24-2007, 03:42 AM

Visions of a couple neighborhood kids sliding down a grassy hill sitting on top of that roof turned upside down. If this is the case, at least they picked a "classy" roof to do it on!!

mbgmike · 09-26-2007, 07:33 PM

There is a guy in HUmble Texas that was trying to sell a roof for the last few months for $150.00 Said it was real nice with no rust. I will see if I can find his number.

63sbssbbw · 09-26-2007, 10:14 PM

I've heard of strange things being scoffed, but that tops the list!!!
maybe he's got a chevy??

I appreciate it, but my roof was stolen just this past week.

I'm pretty sure I know who it was, some crack head just walked into the shop today looking for metal until he saw me and ran out. People these days.

**ChiefRocka** · 09-27-2007, 12:47 AM

I hate frickin crack heads...We have a few in our town...I'm sure all the San Jo guys on here have seen them too.

I recycle scrap iron as well...but not for crack...I use the extra couple hundered bucks for bills, fuel for the boat in the summer time, parts for the Chief (

)....etc....I've seen obvious tweekers at the recycle yard.

They are crack'n down on people rip'n off COPPER....when you bring in a HEAVY load...they take down ALL your info...Couple of weeks ago, I seen the SC Sheriffs busting a dude in a mini-truck sitting on the frame rails with a BIG ass load of stolen copper.

I have a trailer parked at my shop/pops business yard. We fill that thing with old garage door hardware, springs, and openers....the I haul the 8,000 load to SIMS and pick-up like $300-$350 bucks....not much for the weight, but it's free money !!!

Hopefully it doesnt happen to you again....

Later

I see you have met those fine people waiting in line at Sims, constanly looking over their shoulders and chain smoking...

. I hauled in a load of copper scrap(pipe end cuts) from work last summer, and some tweeker tried to take it when I crawled into my enclosed service body truck to get another can. Tweekers suck!
