A lesson in making sure your truck is safe while at home

Too funny!

 

Stop...my side hurts from laughing so much..

 

Really motivated people to rip off an APU. Wow

 

Apu for sale: some wiring frayed otherwise works great I imagine...Cheap cheap cheap

 

Maybe there should be a national database established that tracks these APU serial numbers and mates the serial number to the virgin install tractor VIN. No respectable driver/owner would buy an APU out of the trunk of a car that had a ground off S/N. Furthermore, respectable shops would refuse to work on a truck or APU where the APU S/N did not jive with the Tractor VIN. This is probably just the beginning of a huge rash of these incidents given APU costs, new engine costs, and fuel costs ... it's the perfect storm to launch a black market for "cheap" APU's. I know it won't/can't happen in the real world, I'm just thinking out loud.

 

I doubt any of it is going to be resold. Most likely already in some shady scrap yard somewhere. Thats where most stolen ac units end up.

 

If any truckers are in the Fresno area, be extra careful. Things have a tendency to grow legs and walk off around here.
