Default Hide the Taco (non bike..but bike hauler)

Appears some fools are stealing Toyota Trucks and SUV's for the metals in the CC's.

Maybe I can use this to finally get my truck in the garage instead of my wife's ride

there are some precious metals in them CC...nothing is safe these days.

our cell sites get hit A LOT because they break into our compound to steal the copper from our ground ring.

there are some pretty graphic photos of some thief that got electrocuted because he cut into 220amps thinking it was a ground ring

Several folks at my store drive Toyota trucks, and many were hit during a rash of thefts a few months back.

This crew didn't mess around with unbolting the converters, though--they used cordless recip. saws and simply cut them out, effectively trashing the entire exhaust line.

Managed to dodge that bullet so far ('05 Tacoma), hope my luck holds...
