Stolen Truck Alert

[timebuilder]

One of our company trucks was stolen this afternoon at about 3:35 pm while I was taking some complimentary pens to a client store in the Franklin Mills Mall in Northeast Philadelphia.

It is a 2006 E250, no markings or logos. The side door has a previously damaged key lock that was covered over. PA tag YVR-2843

Insurance will cover the truck, along with company and personal tools, but be aware that this took only 90 seconds, while I stepped inside to deliver the pens, following a PM visit.

If you are in the vicinity, someone may try to sell you:

Ladders: 8 ft, 10 ft, 28 foot extension

Robinair 15600 vac pump

New Yellow Jacket micron gauge

Richie gauge sets

Dell laptop

Canon SD-900 digital camera

Appion G5 twin

Victor oxy mini set

And of course, a lot of things too numerous to be mentioned here.



And be careful out there. I may only be alive because they waited until I went inside.

They were safely in the carabiner I carry on my hip.

If I send them to you, can you hold a séance and locate the truck?

No, no markings. A lot of it was new, recently upgraded stuff.

Had one stolen about 5 years ago...moron tech left it running, "I only ran in the shop for a second to grab something".

He came out to see it going around the corner, they found it a couple of days later minus all the tools. And as a added bonus they lit it up...toast.

The Concord Mall.................LOL, yea, I remember when all that was there was AllMart!

No tax is nice!

I settled for the Arby's up at the split.

I remember driving by the spot where they built that mall in 1969.....

Beats me... I was usually looking at the student nurse in the seat next to me. I'd pick her up in Wilmington, near the old Chrysler plant, and take her back to Pottstown, where she was enrolled in the nursing school up on Charlotte street.

A previous employer had a couple of trucks stolen while I was there.

One was over the weekend. They broke into the shop and loaded everything they wanted into one and off to Topeka they went. I took about a week and a hotel manager called the number on the truck because it was parked in his lot. Wanted to know if he was missing one.

I was the only one that could work for a couple of days. I was the only one that took a truck home.

The next one was taken from a gas station that one of the guys was working at. Fixing something in a car wash with his engine running. The Hypo ran the theifs down on the turnpike.

It was standard practice just to leave the keys in the vans.

Or why a company should invest a couple hundered in an alarm system.
