My truck was taken in Los Angeles around 3 AM today. After looking into it, I found that a lot of Tacomas were getting stolen in San Diego late last year. Just wondering if anyone in LA has noticed a rise in Tacoma thefts. LAPD mentioned that these trucks usually aren’t stripped for parts, so there’s a chance I might get it back."
That truck is probably already in Mexico. Hope the insurance process goes smoothly for you.

Appreciate that. Stay safe out there.
Another Tacoma making its way back to taco country.
Checking in from SGV… I’ll keep an eye out.
Hope it doesn’t end up as a Hilux clone in some war zone with a big gun mounted in the back.
That sucks… my 2003 Tacoma got stolen from my parents’ driveway in OC. Insurance paid out, so I bought a brand new 2005 and I still drive it. They actually found my stolen truck three years later, but it had a fake VIN and was completely totaled.
I live in Los Angeles too… thanks for the warning. Ordering a steering wheel lock right now to make it harder for mine to get taken.

Good call. Definitely worth it. Stay safe.
That’s rough… hope you get it back. If not, hope insurance takes care of you.

Thanks… fingers crossed.
Not sure if this post will help much, but maybe add a picture?

Just added one. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did you check the Toyota app? It tracks trips and can show where your truck was last seen.

My subscription expired. I called Toyota DTLA, and they said I could try reactivating it, but no guarantee it would work.
