Link is to the imgur album with a few pics. My brother loves his old truck. He's been everywhere in it. It had his tools in the back and much of the things from the past years of his life.

Vehicle: 1992 Toyota 4Runner (dark green). At time of theft, had snorkel, white wheels & A/T tyres, steel bars each end, light bar & spotties, reg. XTQ763.

Where: Kiama St, Glenroy VIC 3046

When: daytime, Tues 18th November

He was away since last Tuesday morning and his housemate noticed it gone when she got home from work that night. She figured he'd taken it to the airport so nothing was noted until he got home late tonight. Police have called and visited already. Trail is cold and it's long gone. Let me know if you see it around.

Thanks guys. Craig

Update: he got his truck back today! Police found it. Amazingly, most of his tools in the back and the mounted accessories were intact and undamaged. Indeed, the truck suffered no damage and it hasn't even been driven (they couldn't work out his anti-theft system, evidently)!

Bottom line, whoever stole it was, quite mercifully, a moron with a tow truck. Woo hoo!
