Idiot tweakers stole my truck but I got the last laugh!! Sameday Recovery!

Nice fishworks. Way to takeout some tweekers.  Hopfully they get locked up a while.  I really wish they would put a bounty on tweekers say 50 bucks a head for getting them locked up. 

Glad you got your car back! My car was stolen from me in front of my house a few years back. It was such a bad experience but thankfully it was recovered nearby. FREAKING THIEVES!

AWESOME!!! They're probably going to be in county for a while and there should be links that you can hit to post (publicly) their mug shots so that everyone else knows who these scumbags are. Of course, people are innocent until proven guilty so I don't believe there would legally be a problem to post the faces of these (currently) innocent souls?

I gots me a shovel...

Anyone know the average sentence for motor vehicle theft in California? Ill wave to them next time I fish Natoma.

Good to read you got your truck back. I hate theives!!! Should chop off their hands.

I think the penalties should be equal straight across the board.
I am sure stealing a car that is only worth $2000 from the person struggling to make ends meet is a much greater burden to the owner of that vehicle than someone who has a 200K vehicle stolen.
My guess is the 200K vehicle is fully insured and probably not the only means of transportation to that owner whereas the guy who has the $2000 vehicle probably has only PL/PD at best and doesn't have immediate access to another vehicle or the means in which to immediately purchase another.
I friggin' HATE thieves.

Glad to hear you got your truck back right away bro. Could have been a lot worst not knowing what those guys would have done to your truck. I certainly hope those guys will be put away for a while.

Nice job... Every time I fish the AR I worry about my car... We usually park out on the street in a neighborhood... walk in to the river.. Still worry though.  My buddy Steelie Mike knows everyone there in cordova.. He is usually talking to the neighbors when we park...  makes me feel a little more comfortable.

Right on the money Mike...Yea I'm suppose to be getting the chp report soon, and the officers said it would be then I could look into suing or try to get restitution to help pay for the damages to my truck and property loss. From what i hear though, Ill never see restitution from these guys! Any insight on this kinda matter fellas? What can/should I do?

Find out if any of the thieves own a house, then put a lien on it.  If and when they ever go to sell, or refi, you'll get paid first.
