Today is the third time someone has stolen/attempted to steal my truck in less than a year. This time it was parked in a gated and fenced parking lot, with 24/7 surveillance and security. Someone attempted in September also, while I was staying at a hotel, rendering it inoperative and causing 10k in damage. The first time, in May of 2021, someone successfully stole it and caused 15k in damage, and it was almost totaled. Much of it wasn't covered by insurance (Bose aviation headset, tuner, radar detector, sunglasses, deductible, etc).
It is unreal how completely ****ed our society is, and how people have become brazen enough to do this without fear of consequences. It really hits hard the type of people who take pride in the things they own, and work hard for what they have. Possessions aren't just material objects. You trade a portion of your life to make the money to buy your possessions.
After this incident, I'll be selling my beloved F350. I can't afford to buy another nice diesel right now, even a nice 1/2 ton truck will cost much more than what I can get for mine. It is such a shame, because I absolutely love the truck. It is in pristine condition and has absolutely nothing wrong with it. There is not a single scratch or dent on it, and the interior looks almost new. It kills me thinking about all the time I've spent tinkering with it over the last couple of years to really make it a nice rig.
I just needed to rant.
