Sorry for going off topic again, but since I’ve mentioned my truck and the so-called “Genius Thieves,” I just needed to vent.
Today, without any appointments, I planned to drive my truck because I bought roadside assistance and would have time if it broke down.
About two weeks ago, I shared that thieves stole my truck key, which I had hanging on a neck chain, and tossed it onto the dashboard. They stole the truck key after I removed all other keys from the truck, leaving only the truck key.
On Sunday two weeks ago, I took a picture of the distributor for someone who asked about it.
Then I managed to start the truck but didn’t drive because I want to wait until I purchased roadside assistance.
I’ve stayed home and handled tasks, only going out for errands or doctor appointments, avoiding driving the truck due to uncertainty about its condition.
(Even when it wouldn’t start—no noise, no crank, no dashboard lights—I suspected it could be sabotage by the thieves, though it was just a thought.)
Here’s what happened today:
first, I noticed the padlock was installed in the opposite direction from how I usually installed it. Second, the ignition was locked and wouldn’t turn, even for the police could not get it to turn. Third, the brake pedal felt so soft, suggesting tampering with the brake system.
Fourth, my original ignition with key was missing also which I also hide it, (I had replaced myself after learning from YouTube).
Fifth, the new key door lock for my ’94 Chevy truck was also gone, I bought it with the ignition at the same time and never installed it.
Sixth, the thieves have all my truck keys, both old and new one, plus a second set of keys and remote for my 2nd vehicle.
I’m frustrated because many people don’t believe me. I posted about the water bills on the Nextdoor app, and it’s possible the thieves saw it too. I stopped responding since everyone kept saying it was just a leak & other things. I told them that I know the plumbing system and how to solder, and I recently realized all my plumbing tools are missing. After a couple of days, I saw my post had been deleted from the platform.
I called to file a police report, but the officer said he’s been to my house before and knows the history. I’m trying to find a place that does DNA testing for criminal cases, not for ancestry or paternity. I searched online but couldn’t find one; the one I did find seemed fake. I really need help with the thefts, but the police won’t do anything—they just give me a report number, which isn’t a police report.
Imagine living alone with your belongings disappearing every week with no proof because I never caught them on camera and the police refusing to do anything. He claims they can look into it for a year's worth of records, though it’s been happening for 20 years.
The day I learned my Nextdoor post was deleted because people made mean comments, that night I was awakened by a noise in my bedroom. It wasn’t a mouse; I’ve heard it before. I once placed the plastic grocery bags from the hallway into my bedroom, also in my bedroom. When someone walked, it would make noise. Later (long after I placed it), I removed the hallway bags but still had some in my room.
That night I was awake because of this noise again. Lying still in the dark, I didn’t see anything but still heard the noise. The next night, I walked in a toe-stepping pattern and heard the exactly same sound, which made me believe someone was in my bedroom, invisible. I know my story sounds unbelievable, but please recommend a reliable place for criminal DNA testing and a retired detective who turned into a private investigator who might be able to help me. Also, write the names of the real crime TV shows that solved all those cases, full name, contact info if you have it since there are so many people with the same first name & last name.
Did you see my point?
1. the key got stolen,
2. then my padlock was installed in the wrong direction
3. my ignition key is locked. I can't move or turn the key.
I know this time the thieves sabotaged me 1000%
Since the ignition is locked, what should or can I do?
Oh, I think they disabled the 24/7 AvertX cam that points to the truck. They disabled 3 cams, I didn't have time to check it out yet.
I told you they are geniuses in every field.
The padlock is Abloy, I have total 7 or 8 Abloy padlocks, I have to tie all the keys that I used to my belt purse so I would not loose it.
If I'm crazy, how can I manage my daily life & manage to use all these keys for different locks?
