There is now a $400 reward for it's recovery

License plate is 527 VFB

Good luck, hope you can recover your rig. Kyle posted a notice at EarlyCJ5.com; we have some members in your area who will watch for it and link to other wheelers.
I just checked in here to be sure it was posted here for the broadest coverage.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More friends chipping in, reward is up to $500 now. One guy THOUGHT he saw it in Kent, WA, but couldn't turn around fast enough, unconfirmed.

Unique features to look for:

black powdercoated THOR guards, most are painted
black powdercoated C-Rok rear bumper, comes bare from C-Rok
Custom internal roll cage, had padding on it when stolen
RRO extended rock sliders w/grip tape on top
RockIt Ch8.25 diff skid
Top Hat roof rack, not many roof racks running around w/the raingutter sliders

Got a tip from a good friend who saw a black SUV off the road in the ditch on his way into work this morning, called the local authorities, dispatch just called me back and it wasn't my rig. :(

Thank you to all who are keeping eyes peeled!!!

keepin then open here in S.Ore.

SO, the rig was recovered and picked up. The I-pod is gone. He says it's running a little rough, check engine light on, and possible p/s fluid leak... but other than THAT, all wheels, tires, bumpers, rack, spare parts etc. are INTACT. I guess it couldn't have turned out MUCH better than this!

And the peasants rejoice!!!
Good news, vehicle was recovered, all that I can tell is missing is one foglight cover and the ipod I had in the center console (sorry .9er). And possibly my craftsman toolkit, there's a possibility I moved it into my utility trailer, I'll check on that tonite. Apparently it was ditched in a parking garage (not sure how it fit w/as tall as it is, I'm driving to look at the place tomorrow) fri or sat, sat there for a few days before the property manager had it towed. The towing company called the cops, they looked it over, and called me to pick it up mid morning today. I went straight over there, all in tact. It appears to be a joy ride. It's currently in route to the repair shop, alignment is WAY off, won't shift into OD, running pretty rough and leaking power steering fluid BAD.

I'm thinking they hit a curb, wheel is all jacked, they ran through a half tank of gas, ~100 miles of driving added onto the odo

Tow gal said cops won't fingerprint it as there's no significant damage, minimal property loss. "Takes too long, they're too busy." While I'm not thrilled about that, I AM happy my baby's home...

they wont ever finger print it, it was stolen, is it legal to steal cars now? the cops in your town suck, glad to hear u got it back in one piece
