I didn't see it on my trek back to Calgary Sunday or at Castrol. So sorry to hear about your bad luck. However, congrats on the nuptuals.

Thanks for your help and congrats and well-wishes everyone, there has been no word so far. I added a pic to my album. It's an older pic but all that's different is that it doesn't have a visor anymore and the rockers are line-x'ed. there is a 'TR' (toomey racing) sticker on the top middle of the rear window and an amsoil sticker on the bottom driver's side and a MBRP sticker on the bottom passenger's side. Along with the Oilers plate and the hood, it should be easy enough to recognize. The plate # is VCA 229
it had 7/8 of a tank of fuel so it could be anywhere in a 700km radius.

Well, they found it. Wednesday morning, out by Enoch... (cough!)... Now I just have to get over there and see what damage they did, (and how bad it smells). Good news is they caught the guys. I guess they had a trailer hooked to it and the box was full of stripped copper wire and a bunch of wheels. Sounds like they were starting a theft business with it.
Thanks for all your support.

So I went and looked at it. WOW, there was more crap inside the cab than I think I have in my entire house. They must have smoked about 4 packs of smokes and filled the ashtray and the cupholders with butts and ashes. All of the stuff that I had in it is gone and they replaced it with garbage apparently. Thankfully all my registration and insurance papers were still there. There was even an old pre-war antique cabinet radio laying across the back seat!?! I looked under the hood and the turbo looks like it's been cooked. it's like a brownish color and the air cleaner is all sucked in on itself. even the clamp that holds the intake hose on is blued, telling of how hot it must of gotten. the adrenaline was turned up to 10 (of course) and there are scratches and dings from front to back and the grille guard is pushed in to the bumper. hopefully its going to cost a lot to fix and they'll just write it off.

Dang Acer I am so sorry to hear about your truck I hope your insurance company treats you right at least!

Sounds like they were "tweekers" them druggies strip wires like nobodies business... it is amazing how fast they are at it too. I think you should have to pass a drug test before you can recycle!
