matts88yj Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Hi all. I don't normally post stuff like this all of the time but the more eyes that see this, the better. This is one of my fellow pirate4x4 members and a man that had his dog and truck stolen from him a few days ago. It made it onto Jalopnik and he is still searching for them both. All he really wants is the dog back, no questions asked. Here is the link for anyone that could keep an eye out over the upcoming holidays when more and more are out on the roads. Help Find The Scumbag Who Stole This Land Cruiser With A Dog Inside Also here are some additional photos and information in case anyone is out traveling around this weekend. Please, if you have any information contact the owner and the authorities. I'm only posting up what the owner has already posted elsewhere. North Carolina license BCJ 9881 $2000 REWARD $1000 for the dog $1000 for the truck. 1985 fj60 And my 6month old German Short haired pointer. I though I would add she has a large liver colored spot on left back hip that looks like a mickey mouse's.

Z71_Denali Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 that sucks! let us know if they find either one! i'll be on the lookout while i'm travelling this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Xtreme07ss Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wow, this really does suck and I hope they at least find the dog unharmed. I couldn't care less about his truck at this point. Maybe the loss of his truck will drive the message home that pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle. If you can't take your pet where you intend to go, leave it at home.

I didn't want to post to the thread on Pirate since I didn't know if it was against cross posting to other forums but there are more photos of the dog and truck over there. Plus some language from other members on the forum but purely out of disgust to whoever store the mans dog and truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts88yj Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Me and my Jeep co-pilot (my dog) will be keeping our eyes out in North Carolina Thank you DUKE-Z! No updates besides there will be TV commercial ad's in the local area where the dog and truck were stolen. Also has made the local Fox News and some other bigger local headlines. Quite a few people are trying to get this to much larger sites and even on Yahoo's main page. I just want him to have his dog back. I couldn't even begin to imagine the emotions he is dealing with. Also, if you do share this link or post it up on your facebooks or any other social media outlets, please post up here and let me know. I'm relaying all of the info back to him to try to keep his spirits up. Thank you all for your help with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Funny, I leave my wife in the car all the time and no one ever steals it. What am I doing wrong? Seriously, I'll be keeping a lookout, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paoutdoorsman Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Matt, I'll certainly keep an eye out over this way. Rich, you had me :lol:! My wife insisted on knowing what was so funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I'll be keeping a lookout, too. You need to leave a sign on it that says, "$5". "Free" leaves no seen value for the person stealing. Fact. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hopefully he finds his dog. But just out of curiosity did he make it easy and leave the keys in the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts88yj Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hopefully he finds his dog. But just out of curiosity did he make it easy and leave the keys in the car? No, keys were not left in the vehicle. The mans dog and truck are still out there. Many have been searching the area left and right and also the local fire department took their air plane up and did quite a few passes looking for it in case it was ditched in a more remote and less traveled area. I'm going to update the first post with some additional photos and info on the truck and dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Xtreme07ss Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Any good news to report? I really hope his dog is found safe and sound for Christmas. I'd be lost if someone ever stole my dog. Poor guy. Edit: corrected autocorrect. Edited December 25, 2012 by 02Xtreme07ss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts88yj Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Any good news to report? I really hope his dog is found safe and ski d for Christmas. I'd be lost if someone ever stole my dog. Poor guy. Nothing yet. They did get the plate ran in Cobb County, GA at 1:45am a few days ago. They thought it would have triggered immediate response but the owner of the dog found out that the cars down there have cameras on the cars that just seek out plates and take photos of them. That's the only lead they have so far. Please everyone in that area and even Alabama keep an eye out. I know many of you won't check this today but they at least have a direction the vehicle went. I'm hoping for a Christmas miracle for him and his family. Merry Christmas all. Give your family and any 4 legged friends some extra attention today.
