so update,
after a week the police are "done" with my truck, though it fell on me to clean all the crap out of it that wasn't ours, five or six different purses and back packs. all stolen from different people,
kinda good news bad news good news, annoying news
the good news is they arrested two people, the bad news is they chased those people in my truck threw fields to catch them, the other good news is after they ditched the truck the police tracked them with the dogs and one of the guys was bit, the annoying news is he was still healing from the dog bites he received the last time he was arrested for stealing cars.
truck will be on its way to the dealer body shop so they can clean it up and get a good look over it, but im not happy and gearing up for a fight with insurance who has already informed me that due to the value of the truck they will not be writing it off they will fix what ever is wrong with it. (the adjuster informed me of this before even looking at the truck)
what I know from my 10 min inspection.
interior is nasty, spilled dirty bong water all over the place, its full of cigarette butts and ashes, they ripped panels off the inside and messed with some of the computer boxes (would assume trying to turn off the location system that I was trying to get activated)
they wrote on the leather seats with something, might be lipstick, might be marker, not sure yet,
exterior has scratches and dents on pretty much every panel. front bumper is damaged, rear bumper is damaged, (insurance guy was like, "well the little dents and scratches were there already right?" told him no fing way truck was brand new and spotless when they stole it.
two big things that concern me is they obviously jumped a ditch or something, there is giant chunks of mud jammed up into the front suspesion and frame, and the tail gate was popped out of the holder on the bottom right side, so the frame and box flexed enough to casue that when they did what ever it was they did,
they also used my big 3 inch tow strap to try to pull or unstick something, yanked on it so hard (peddel down and slamm im assuming) that they broke the strap, hence the damage to the rear bumper.
dealer already told me this insurance company wont pay to put it on a frame rack and make sure everyting is still square.
tires wore down, obviuos burnouts and hard driving.
wosrt thing is these bastardes put more kms on the truck than i had. it was just over 2500km when they stole it, now it sits with 5930kms.
they put 3000 kms of beat the shit out of it driving on my brand new truck in a week.
insurence told us if it wasnt found in the first week they would pay out. that would have been the wednesday, the police arrested them tuesday night at 11:30, and we have been a week and a half waiting on them becasue the arresting officer was away and aparently no one else at that office works,
the police who took the original call also didnt put it in the system as stolen because the london police called my wife thinking she had stollen gas from a station. she told them the truck was stollen and they said they ran the plates and it wasnt stollen and she sould maybe just go pay the gastation the money so it dosnt have to escalate, she had to send them the police report number before they would beleaver her.
so 100% un impressed with the police involvment. we found my wife's wallet in front of a business the day the truck was stolen, they stopped and rooted threw it right in front of a security camera. we informed the police and they didnt even bother to follow up.
no wonder this is such an ongoing issue and the guy they arrested had just been released from jail and the first thing he did was go on another stealing spree.
