Some trucks go to Mexico but not as many as you think primarily it's four-wheel-drive, SUV, and any Jeep Wrangler.
That's just remembering where you parked, it won't locate the vehicle if it's been moved.
You are talking about the maps app on your phone, correct? To the best of my knowledge, it's a feature that was added to the app that detected vehicle motion as opposed to walking/running and was designed to help you find your vehicle in a large parking lot. If the phone is not in the car, it has no way of knowing where the car was last parked. It (the phone) has no idea when the vehicle is powered on/off or where the vehicle is. The phone only detects that it was moving in a vehicle and uses gps to locate the place it was when the user stopped driving and started walking.Did it fly away with out power? Lol
Unless they towed it, ignition goes on they drive and stop somewhere. So it will give last location ignition turned off.
And not just if you got out of truck w cell connected. My son had his phone also connected to my truck. Fucker would text me and say hey your in this area stop and get me this.
Don’t know 100% haven’t had any newer truck stole yet.

Tom, it sounds like both of us do the same thing with our truck k _ _ _ s.... LOL
Any luck finding it? It sucks having to worry about parking anything outside, either overnight or in a parking lot. I still use THE CLUB on my steering wheel, even though I daily drive a cheap car, but hey, maybe if a useless thief sees that my wheel is locked, maybe they will leave my car alone.

View attachment 703608 Do you have an iPhone? If linked to your truck. Go on maps on phone. Mine tells me where my truck is parked at all times
OK....I just did that and it is showing an AZ address that I haven't been too as far as I know. Its in Peoria.
Are you saying that is where my truck might be?

Any inmates out that direction that could do a drive by?OK....It is showing AZ 101 South, Peoria not an actual address. So, I am doubting that
Looking at it again there is no movement so maybe its abandoned on the fwy? Hopefully the mofo who stole it got in a shootout with the police and they took em out on the 101....lol
I'm in a meeting but, can head over there in about an hour.
Does it give a cross street with the 101?

Well, we know where it’s not at, it’s not in your driveway...so I’d say Peoria is more probable.
I hate that feeling when you walk out and your vehicle is gone.
It sucks big time.
I hate thieves.
Fuck it, I'm off today anyway, I'm heading that way, if it moves let me know where to
What is the current location? Still southbound 101 in Peoria? I can cruise that way I'm 5 minutes from there.
Pretty ballsy to steal a truck with an nra sticker. Completely stupid to come back and try and get in the garage using the opener.
Just checked the 101 for several miles in each direction and didn't see it, checking 83rd Ave now. Do you have a screenshot of the map? Lots of frontage roads and parking lots around this area
I just checked those exact coordinates and didn't see it. If you get an updated location post it up I'll be out and about for awhile. DPS everywhere around here so if it was there long there's a decent chance they saw it and possibly ran the plate.
Live shot, just went by for a second time
Maybe a better theft deterrent would be a chunk of C-4 under the seat with a remote detonator. 20 minutes after the vehicle is stolen...light that bitch off. Once this happens 40 or 50 times and the news channels pick up on it, I bet thefts (of non-POS vehicles) will slow down considerably.
No big deal. My office is nearby.No cross street just the 101 S Loop in Peoria.....Looks like it could be South of N 83rd Ave though
Don't worry about it but if you happen to drive that way keep your eyes open.
Thanks
It's pretty easy to clear the code in the garage door receiver and reprogram whatever transmitters you still have, probably a pretty good idea.There was a garage door opener in the truck.

Send me a PM with your phone if you need help. Some of the brands are different, and of course you can probably find instructions online. On modern machines usually you will need to locate a programming button, then hold it down for a designated amount of time to clear it. Light should indicate when it's done.Yep....going to do that today

Wouldn't hurt to call the PoPo in that area.. give them a heads up regarding what your tracking is indicating....
