I got home Thursday night around 11pm and the Jeep was in my driveway. I went outside to leave for work Friday morning at 7pm and it was gone. The bastards broke out my back window to gain access to the inside and then stripped out the steering column. I sure hope they had a good time joyriding. At least they didn't steal my baby car seat, stroller, or $400 stereo.

Cops found it. There was only a quarter of a tank of gas in it, and they found it running this morning, so Im assuming all they did was drive it to where it was found less than 5 miles from my house.
For those of you that know Richmond, it was found between Jahnke and Midlothian Turnpike off of German School Road.

Not exactly true quite yet. Its at the body shop to get fixed so as long as they don't consider it totaled I'll get it back. They need to clean the upholestry, fix the window and tint it, fix the steering wheel column and wiring, and rekey the whole car. Im assuming all this work should come in well under how much its worth but I guess thats up to the insurance company to decide. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Those jeeps are known to be easy to steal. I'm not sure why but I think its because the wiring is easy to get to and then easy to hot wire.
damn that sucks, at least you got it back

If the cost of fixing the jeep is half or more of the book value of the jeep, I bet they total it. How many miles were on the jeep?
