Thanks again for all of the kind words everyone.
Not to sound dumb or anything but I guess its so ******* us because Iwaslowrs Kon is right at the top of the website page banner on the right, gonna be hard to forget while seeing that there everyday!
I'm going to do my best to enjoy it being there as long as it is there... Good times and ENDLESS APPRECIATION!!!!! Kinda sentimental now.
We did have Onstar service, but for phone services only... and they could not assist with locating or disabling it. To be honest, if it had been disabled at any point(anti carjack feature or otherwise) the suspects could have returned and proceeded to do a drive by shooting and/or kidnapped any of my in-laws NEITHER OF WHICH IS WORTH IT.
Chad..
Just curious, the news reports said another Kon was also car jacked off Lamar. Did you happen to hear any other details on that one. Was it also hooked up or maybe a stock one? Wonder if that one was found yet and in what kind of condition.
I heard that we were the first victims but don't have any other details besides both of them were White Yukons. The Detective mentioned that one had been recovered but was burnt extremely bad. Being such we requested to see the one that had been recovered and as we approached the area where "it" had been parked in the impound yard... it became apparent that the blackened charred lifeless skeleton that appeared to once be an SUV was the one that had been slightly spoiled by me for it's short lived life. There was no question, it was obvious that the wheels are all that the suspect(s) were after.
To answer some more questions, I was not there. My wife and I had been hosting for some family members and they needed a ride back across town. To prevent any unsafe conditions (more than one person per seatbelt) I decided to stay home. Our other vehicle can only seat five, uncomfortably at that. As usual my eyes gleamed as she rode away, in disbelief that I have been blessed with such beauty surrounding my life both in family and materialisticly. It was not uncommon for me to not drive the Yukon, in fact I would not even have the Yukon without my wife's help and everlasting support. Though sometimes reluctant with my dreams she has always proudly applauded the outcome. She would even beg me to take the Yukon because she claimed to be spoiled by the XM radio, and I would never not let her drive it- IT WAS OUR YUKON.
We often frequented the part of town and surrounding area's where this incident occurred. Contrary to some belief, this was only blocks from the famous 6th Street (three blocks west of it). Every since, as well as before, the wheels were installed I had been through this area and even worse areas in the city. Perhaps all the broken necks as we passed had less than positive intentions. Who will ever know....
To those who ask "Was everything insured?" Yes. Well the truck and the wheel/tire package at least.
And "What are the new plans?"
still unknown...
Thanks again for all the support through these hard times everyone.
I hope none of you ever have to go through this. Things could have been much worse! I still have my wife (cough best friend ever) and all of my in-laws not only alive but, UNINJURED!
If I had been present when the carjacking occurred who knows how bad things could have turned out.
