So it's been a hell of a couple years since we go the truck. Finally, things started to settle down the past oh 4 months or so. Getting geared up for the first holiday season we will be able to enjoy and then this happened. Got a call Wednesday about 3 pm from the girlfriend that the truck was gone. She had taken it to work, large parking lot, cameras everywhere (according to the cops, the cameras are worthless) that is at a big banking ops center. So I went down there, just as the cops arrived and sure as shit, no truck. Supposed security on premise as well.
So the cop does his thing, really nice and understanding, goes to look for glass of which there was none. She is supremely upset but I'm just glad she didn't walk up on them. The Ford Pass never gave here a warning until much later on when she opened the app. Again in some ways this was for the best. Then, the Ford Pass just died. It wasn't giving any information and still hasn't. This is the part of the story that I finally decided who to pin the anger on. Wasn't the GF, wasn't the cops, wasn't even the ****** who stole it. It was and still is FORD.
Let me explain.
So the cop said Ford might be able to track it somehow or give them information, but that it wasn't going to be quick and they would NOT give him any of the information. So we tried and sure as hell the Ford rep said we are sorry but we need to get an official request from the PD etc etc. Fine. We called back an hour later and Ford said, yes we see the request pending but that's all I see. Umm, hey buddy, my truck is still probably stateside and not yet in Mexico so maybe some, oh I don't know, action would be nice?
End result is no truck, and at this point, I don't want it back because it's been branded stolen and I don't want anything to do with that. Oh quick add on story. Sales buddy of mine told me they had a 450 that someone bought with a hot check. Ford got on the case ASAP and they found it with the quickness. Little old me? Get to the back of the line peasant. Sure insurance is good and shouldn't be much of an issue but still the lack of action was eye opening.
Sorry if I sound bitter, it's because I am. The only people I have zero anger for is the cops, and my girlfriend. I know we are not the only ones, nor will be the only ones. Our lawn guy was running around with a U-Haul a few months ago. Never really knew why until yesterday. His 2500 Silverado got boosted from his parking garage. He now has a 3500.
I hate thieves.
