Bitch You Ain't No Nerd?!?!?!?!?...
Holy crap! That is just awful!I am glad that your wife is okay though and that is what is important.
What an utter waste to torch the whole vehicle for just the wheels.
Yeah no kidding. But that is what ignorance breeds. People can't buy their own crap so they just steal it.
Glad no one was hurt.

Holy shit. That was a beautiful truck man. Glad your wife is OK.
Sorry to hear that man! I will keep my eyes open for you. Just a shame people have to steal other people stuff to get ahead! Hope they catch him or you do and bring him in..of course with some assistance along the way.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
My wife and I both are still shook up about the whole thing, but glad everyone is ok. A description of the suspect was provided to the police: 5'8 medium build with black hoodie and red bandana covering face, long shorts, 9MM gun, appeared to be a Hispanic male in his early 20's. The truck was found off of Bluff Springs Rd. near an elementary school... that part of town was secluded about 10 years ago, I'm not sure if it has developed much since because I no longer live near there...
We did have Onstar service, but for phone services only... and they could not assist with locating or disabling it. To be honest, if it had been disabled at any point(anti carjack feature or otherwise) the suspects could have returned and proceeded to do a drive by shooting and/or kidnapped any of my in-laws NEITHER OF WHICH IS WORTH IT.
I heard that we were the first victims but don't have any other details besides both of the of the carjackings were White Yukons. The Detective mentioned that one had been recovered but was burnt extremely bad. Being such we requested to see the one that had been recovered and as we approached the area where "it" had been parked in the impound yard... it became apparent that the blackened charred lifeless skeleton that appeared to once be an SUV was the one that had been slightly spoiled by me for it's short lived life. There was no question, it was obvious that the wheels are all that the suspect(s) were after.
To answer some more questions, I was not there. My wife and I had been hosting for some family members and they needed a ride back across town. To prevent any unsafe conditions (more than one person per seatbelt) I decided to stay home. Our other vehicle can only seat five, uncomfortably at that. As usual my eyes gleamed as she rode away, in disbelief that I have been blessed with such beauty surrounding my life both in family and materialisticly. It was not uncommon for me to not drive the Yukon, in fact I would not even have the Yukon without my wife's help and everlasting support. Though sometimes reluctant with my dreams she has always proudly applauded the outcome. She would even beg me to take the Yukon because she claimed to be spoiled by the XM radio, and I would never not let her drive it- IT WAS OUR YUKON.
We often frequented the part of town and surrounding area's where this incident occurred. Contrary to some belief, this was only blocks from the famous 6th Street (three blocks west of it). Every since, as well as before, the wheels were installed I had been through this area and even worse areas in the city. Perhaps all the broken necks as we passed had less than positive intentions. Who will ever know....
To those who ask "Was everything insured?" Yes. Well the truck and the wheel/tire package at least.
And "What are the new plans?"
still unknown...
Thanks again for all the support through these hard times everyone. :Handshake:
I hope none of you ever have to go through this. Things could have been much worse! I still have my wife (cough best friend ever) and all of my in-laws not only alive but, UNINJURED!
If I had been present when the carjacking occurred who knows how bad things could have turned out.

I've been knocked down drug out and left for dead
Sorry for your misfortune. I'm extremely glad that no one was hurt.
