Ash tray stolen :mad:

[body bolt]

I left my passenger door unlocked and was burglarized. The ash tray was mostly full of miscellaneous fasteners and a small amount of change. They also went through the glove box and found a pill container full of push nuts and spilled it. I walked down the block to see if they tossed it. Now to find a medium olive ashtray

[Accelo]

It has happens to me three times in 20 years.
Typically looking for change, but they take the ashtray. I quit putting anything in there.
Last time, I was hit, I locked my truck but left the passenger window down enough they were able to get the door unlocked. I always lock my door. Just forgot about the window.
When I was young I never even carried a house key because it was never locked.
It's madding as heck and replacing the ash tray costs more than the change they get.
A**Ho**s.

Sorry to hear this happened ! I don’t have those problems by me. Crime is out of control because of no fear of reprisals. I remember being in fear of the law, today the criminals fear nothing.

I use to leave it unlocked even with change in the ashtray and although they'd go through the glovebax, they'd leave the change and the ashtray. I though I had locked it this time but I forgot I had used the passenger door. Oh well...

I'm 3 blocks south of Route 66 (and 4 houses away from Jesse Pinkman's) . It's a wide street that people use to avoid the main drag and I guess to look for unlocked vehicles.

Here it seems to be a combination of laws and judges that keep letting people go. They're arrested, given a court date, released, fail to appear, are rearrested, released, given a new court date, fail to appear, then when they eventually do appear in court they're again released.

Yep, matching the color.

My S10 Blazer was broken into years ago and they stole the stereo without the face plate and the ashtray too! Beyond my comprehension.

Years ago they stole the owners manual from our '98 Ford Escort wagon.

That's a valuable document!

Sorry about your ashtray, though.

It was a first edition nicely bound in fine vinyl.

Did your ashtray have the ball bearing slide or the other? If it was the non ball bearing slide, I have a good used one I'll ship you for the cost of the ride. Not the right color but the price is right.

[54blackhornet]

It always amazes me how generous folks are on this site. I also have a yellow one you can have for the ride..Jack

[DeadheadNM]

Bummer it happened. I've had my car similarly victimized and know many others so affected and those who had their cars, mail, etc. stolen. We left Albuquerque three years ago last week - zero regrets.

I may have a med olive truck in a few weeks if you don't find one between now and then I have a parts 72 4x4 to pick up have too get it out and remove a ton of junk to get it out

Wow, that would be most excellent. Just PM me whenever you get it out. Thanks!

I'm sure I have an ash tray in any year if this doesn't work out. I may even have a Medium Olive one

[gmc684x4]

I have a only a few things to unload from it before i can move my parts K10 and get my C20 running so i don't have to bum trucks to pick stuff up myself

Sad seemed like not long ago the k10 was in the shape of the c20 is

You should be thankful to still have your truck. Mine disappeared from my driveway two days before christmas in 16. Pete had the right idea.

I really appreciate the offer but I can get one here but so far not medium olive. Mine has the slides. I didn't know there was ball-bearing type?

Man that really sucks. Where was this? Are you still in The Duke City? I'm in Huning Castle. I do put a Club on mine and my wife's Hyundai (which I heard was the most stolen car in town) is parked behind it with its own Club. I'm putting a light out there next week. Maybe I'll consider an ignition disabler as well. I always Club it when I'm out and about.

[Dirt's72]

I'm over by paseo and golf course rd in Albq. Yeah my truck had a club on it as well. You know the saying if they want it they will get it. I'll never park one in my driveway again and am worried about my truck in the garage getting stolen in this town. Just wait till all the people who are collecting unemployment checks stop getting one. Oh nevermind that will never happen with this current regime and sanctuary city.
