Do not steal someones truck and trailer!

Stealing this from Byrons FB page.

These people are local and pretty good racers in the off-road crowd.

~~~~~

Now, this is where things get exciting...

As they pull up in our big ol chase truck (this is Serena and now Kyle, with Ryan at the wheel) they see something amazing... There is a blue scion TC nosed up to the shop truck with the door and hood open and some neck tattooed having gang banger looking dude is trying to jump start the truck with some brand new jumper cables...

WTF?

Theres another sketchy dude in the shop truck and some girl in the drivers seat of the scion. So, Ryan pulls up behind the scion and which is really close to the front bumper of the shop truck and blocks him in and the three criminals eyes get wide and the basically crap themselves...

Turns out, these are some fast peeps and before anyone has a chance guy that was in the shop truck is gone with the wind, the girl and the the last guy jumps in the scion. She throws it in reverse and and slams backwards into the chase truck and then forward and clips the front of the shop truck as they try to make their escape around the back side of the truck and trailer. In the process, they take out a street sign, and a cable company box and Ryan hauls ass through the empty dirt lot chasing them in our chase truck.

Soon the thieves realize they are no match for our truck (which Ryan is now driving like a trophy truck up and over a curb and through a dirt field).

this is the chase truck...it is bad ass...

~~~~

Whole story is below, with pictures of at least one of the filthy crooks:

If You Steal A Racer's Trailer, You Will Get Your Ass Kicked

(the auto-tracking .50cals on the roof obviously needed to be re-calibrated.)

The dented door should be displayed with pride at the shop!

Put a little sign "bad guys - head goes here."

Randy, they are right in your neck of the woods.

Supposedly a big off road racing company.

Just glad that they happened to be driving by that area when they did or the jerks would have gotten away...
