Ask HN: Seen my stolen truck in the Bay Area?

8 pointsby gs7over 9 years ago
Sorry to post something like this on here, but we&#x27;re getting desperate. My wife&#x27;s truck was stolen out of our apartment complex garage in Santa Clara on Sunday. We think it&#x27;s been dumped somewhere in the Bay Area by now. We&#x27;re offering a $500 cash reward to anyone who finds it. I know it&#x27;s a longshot, but like I said, we&#x27;re desperate.<p>Here are the details:<p>2003 Ford F-250, tan color (looks like gold), 4 door with extended bed used for hauling (photo here: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hire.gs&#x2F;f250.jpg), 5th wheel hitch installed in bed<p>License Plate: 7D88687 (California)<p>Last 5 digits of VIN: 16985<p>If you see this truck parked anywhere, please call or text 818-233-0707.<p>Thank you for your help!<p>Gabe

I hope you&#x27;ll find your truck. My brother&#x27;s friend had his car stolen. For a little more than a year, he still had the fob (key) on him and whenever he saw a vehicle similar to his, he would just press the button. His friends used to make fun of him. It&#x27;s not as big as New York, but at 5 million people in the city, the car being one of the most popular models and the fact it could be anywhere, the odds are very slim.<p>One day, he got out of a mall, looked at a car similar to his but of a different color. He pressed the button and the car unlocked. He called the cops, they arrested the guy and more than a dozen people involved in a car stealing&#x2F;smuggling network. And he got his car back. He was happy.<p>You never know. Hope you&#x27;ll find it.

I just received a call that the truck has been recovered in central California. We&#x27;re super relieved. Thank you all for your support!
