    First things first. Fake news in the thread title. Your stuff was not stolen. You left it behind.

    Most likely the same reason you came and laid a big deuce of a thread and wandered away.

    What if this tractor turned up in a drop yard and a new driver was assigned to it? This happened to me once. In my case the truck was already cleaned out with a new mattress. What are you going to do with that stuff? There are limits on returning things. Trust me. If that tractor I was assigned was full of another things I would have no other choice but to throw them away. I would hate doing it, but sometimes things happen. This subject is something I have had loud arguments about. Same crappy mentality that leaves a trailer with several things wrong with it and won't turn in a report. Welcome to the hindend of trucking!

    No dealer. Company shop. OP took another truck and left some of his belongings in there. Shop boy cleaned out the truck, took what he wanted and put the rest in the dumpster, and sprayed the inside of the truck with Frebreeze and put new plastic on the driver's floor.

    The fact you left it there means the next driver, or even the shop guys who clean out the trucks for a new driver, thought you quit and abandoned the stuff. They are only wrong about the quitting part.

    You did abandoned the stuff when you got a new tractor and didn't move it over.. If you are very, very lucky the company has a policy to keep items from a cleaned out truck for x number of days. Mostly though, all the stuff that was left in the old tractor is seen as abandoned.

    I mean. I'm not even going to lie on this one. When I take a vehicle to my lot and they never come get it, when I clean out the vehicle before auction/junk yard, I keep whatever I want out of it. Sell what I can, junk the rest.

    OP: sorry this happened, I am. Take it as a lesson and roll on.
