Stolen XJ

[Bart]

My friend had his XJ stolen last week in Orem. An older white Suburban backed up to it, aired up the one front tire, hooked on and towed it away. If you see it or any of these parts come up for sale please let me know.

It's a blue and silver 2 door,
1990,
auto
rear Scout 44,
sub framed
twin front winch bumper to my old Flo
old rear swing out tire carrier and bumper that was on Flo
32" Swampers

I'll see if I can get some pics

Who saw it happen???

Who saw it happen???

He had it at his work and it was caught on camera. I don't think the thieves know they were seen.

Any luck with this? Have any pictures?

Did you happen to get the license plate on that surveilance camera of the Suburban? If you got a decent shot, police may be able to help you figure it out if it's blurry.

 

[Bart]

I wish. The camera didn't have a good enough angle for a plate. Nope, no plate number or any other information. Still looking. Thanks.

Here are slightly better pics of the suburban

I tried to brighten the photos, to show the Suburban better, looks like large 20ish rims, with low profile tires, also looks like the rear doors are the split "barn door" style. And if you look real close you can see a scum bag behind the wheel.

Normally I'd be skeptable (sp?) of anything turning up, having been victim to this twice with no luck. But I think you stand a good chance of getting this back having seen who took it. Especially since the burb has those rims, there can't be too many old burbs with low-pro rims like that. I'll keep an eye out for sure.
Another thing I would sugest you do is to post pictures of the jeep and the burb all over the place. (I mean everywhere). Odds are either someone will have seen one or the other or the jeep will show up somewhere after they see it and decide to dump the jeep.
Good luck to ya.
P.S. If you make a flier and post it up I'll run it over to Mepco and put it up on thier pinboard.
This stuff makes me mad. Let me know if they show up, I'll help straighten things out.

Do you have any pictures of the jeep. Most likely it's hidden away in someone's back yard or garage but there's a chance.
I talked to a guy who had his jeep stollen from him just before he was going to go down with some friends to Moab, he ended up having to ride down with his friends and on the way down they saw his jeep being towed down there by the guy who had stollen it. Hopefully you'll be as lucky.

 

[Bart]

Thanks for those encouraging words. I'll try to round up some pics of the XJ.

Did he have an alarm?

I seen that burb about a week ago i was out looking at trucks with my dad and saw it parked in a driveway here in orem just down a couple houses from a truck we looked at we were both like "thats a really nice burb i would love to have one like that" i think i might remember where i saw it i will go drive around and see if i can find it again and if i do i will get the address for ya and send it to ya in a PM. And i will keep my Eye open for it

 

[crimsonride]

Yeah, I guess we know how he makes his money. He's made a mistake now and we can track him down. That thing's going to show up somewhere.
Maybe you can give us a better description of where you saw that thing? All we need is a liscence plate number or a location where it resides. Lets move on this, it's not too often that you have this much on somebody.

hey man i would go to all the 4x4 shops around and tell them your story because all 4x4 will end up in a shop sooner or later and tell all the tire stores because they will want to fix that flat so yea hope that helps and ill keep my eyes pilled too.

i went thru the neighbor hood where i remember seeing a really nice old white burb i found the house where i saw it but i dont see the burb im sure it is the same burb because i doubt there are many old school burbs that are restored.And white to top it off i have gone by about 3 times and see nothing they got a big shop in the back yard though so i dont know maybe he has the burb put away due to the bad weather so i will keep driving by it is just up the road from me and see if i can catch it out so i can see if it is the same one i dont know what else to do? i know it has to be the same one

Hey i live in orem as well, PM with where the neighborhood is and i'll drive by a couple times while i'm out and about and take my digicam with me, I beleive Vincent in Pulp Fiction said it best. Vincent Vega: What's more chicken**it than ****ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle. I'll keep my eyes peeled for sure i'm out a lot late at night, might be the same person that steals stereo's out of cherokees here in orem, any other vehicle with a nice stereo he'll leave alone but everytim you leave a cherokee out it's gone.

 

[crimsonride]

Hmmmm....something's got to show up. I'd say invite the cops over to his house but that's probably not going to happen since we have no clue who lives there. I'd try to keep a close eye on that shop though. It's possible some shady work goes down there.
Keep an eye out guys, it's going to show up. And when it does the entire RME crew's going to have you backed up.
