I'm working a strange shift, heading for work about 0230.

I go out this morning and notice the radar detector cord is hanging down. Detector is gone. At first, I thought it had fallen down.

Then I notice that 2 of my driving gear bags are gone. Damn ... the HANS, suit, helmet, gloves, nomex underwear, shoes ... everything.

That is all just stuff ... what is irreplaceable is the notebook inside the bag that had 3 years of track notes.

This new truck is cursed, I tell you ... I'll have to wait till daylight and the rain to stop to see if the truck itself was damaged.

I guess I'll have to change my habits ... I always have my gear in the truck. Never know when I'll wind up at the track and have an "oppurtunity".

But, depending on what insurance says, my season might have ended before it even began.

Indeed, that truly sucks, folks who do this are truly belly crawlers.... and that might be insulting my friends the snakes! Sorry to hear. I had my '93 K2500 broken into a few years back, found the truck RUNNING out in a parking lot, I was away from home, doing trade show with my geckos. The only reason it was not gone is because they broke the steering by doing a sloppy hack job with the column. Made a mess out of the outside of the truck too. Fortunately I had nothing in the truck for them to steal.

I would check all the dumpsters around your truck there. Sigh!

I thought of that too. I checked dumpsters, convenience store trash cans and the all the ditches in a 6 block radius. No luck.

It's all just stuff and most everything can be replaced or information re-created to a degree. Can't undo what's been done.

Drew, I too believe that what goes around, comes around. and someday. it'll hit'em hard. But that also applies to me.
So I guess I need to publicly apologize to Sam for a few things I did. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

Looks like home owner's insurance will cover everything ... time to get a shopping list together ...
