Huh that sucks the big one... It's def noticable enough that I hope someone will see it. Wonder what their intentions are on stealing it?! Not your typical chop up for parts vehicle

 

George told Sina on the phone that all indications that they have been given from law enforcement is that it is probably a heavy equipment theft ring out of Miami, and they stole it for use in stealing heavy equipment. FBI told her cousin that most likely, one of two things will happen, the thieves will leave it abandoned after using it for a week or two, or it will never be seen again.

 

well i guess you need big stuff to steal big stuff, i can't believe there is an "underground" market for that kind of stuff. i wouldn't think that it's something that you could just hook up to and go cruising down the high way and get away easy.

 

is there any way to get some DOT numbers or a VIN if someone has ***** enough to get that close and look at it?

any special markings on the truck? business name? maybe something inconspicuous that the theif might not have removed....

bump. to catch thieves. i hope they find it soon

 

So assuming worst case scenario it's gone forever - won't insurance cover replacement? Is there a huge deductible? Will it affect his premiums?

That really sucks though. I hope he gets it back, that's brutal. That truck probably ran him about $275,000?

Stuff like this happens everywhere. They lock up excavators here all the time now so that they can't be stolen. You might be surprised at how easy it is to walk away with heavy machinery. No one expects it.

 

all constrution equipment of the same brand uses same key.

all hitachis are same key, same with cat, case, ect. i can go to my case dealer and get a ring of 29 keys for the most common equipment for 40 bucks.

only thing that sucks with equipment.

 

He told me insurance won't come close to covering replacement. and yes he paid a mint for it. No word on it... probably gone forever.....sucks **** big time.

 

Damn... that really isn't fair.
