Very sorry to hear about your ordeal.  They should be able to find the pricks now that they'll have a lot more evidence from the recovery scene.  I wish you the best of luck.

This should be a warning to all of us that we need to be careful out there. There are jerks who always want the easy way out and stealing is easier than working your whole life and saving for a goal. These people steal more than our material, they can steal our time, our ambition, and our sense of security. It is good to see how we banded together to help each other I hope luck is on Nathanials side and Tardis is not to badly damaged. What I hope for the perpetrator cannot be posted on a family site......

Sorry to hear of this. Really sorry, I know the long and winding road it took to get the truck and camper together. And I well know the feeling left behind from having something stolen.

I'm looking at the Simjack Secure Steering Wheel Lock with the brake pedal lock.  Currently using the Truck Club, but you can cut the steering wheel and remove.  The cost for both and peace of mind is $88.00.

Click on item #6 on the left side of the web page.  There is a short video on the installation.  The yellow cover completely covers the steering wheel.

 

Glad they recovered the camper and hopefully it can be fixed.  Keep us all post.  This is one large family.

So very sorry to hear about this. Some small comfort in getting closure what with finding the camper. With luck the truck will be found soon. The hole in your psyche from the loss will take some time. Wishing you the best.

Nathaniel,

 

So sorry for this great loss. I don't really know what to say other than that.

 

Insurance can't possibly replace everything you lost, not to mention all the time and effort put into the truck and camper build.

 

Hang in there.

While I'm sure it suffered some damage being removed that way I'm betting its tough enough it won't be that bad. I'm surprised they got away. Probably don't have the resources our cops have. I'm betting no helicopter. Maybe they'll be in too much of hurry to torch it. Hoping.

The campers are built tough - sure your build was. Might be beat up, but usable. Hope most of the gear is still in it. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about this. I enjoyed your build process back when, as did many others- I was new to my camper then too. Here's hoping time and a good insurance company restore you, your equipment and your truck/camper to acceptable condition and you can return to more happy camping. Good luck.

Hopefully most of your gear is recovered and the camper is in ok shape. Let me know if you need some help. I live just down the road have jack stands and other random camper gear laying around.
