Is that the pickup stolen from Trinidad?
They dumped the camper shell if I recall.
Lost Coast Outpost has pictures. It is red like the truck stolen, suspiciously the tailgate is black.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same one stolen.
That was my first thought that it was the truck from Trinidad – photos on LCO appear to be a late 80’s Toyota 4WD, so potentially a match. Sad fate for that vehicle if so – that was a cool camper they dumped on my road, which they trashed removing it. Given the age of the truck, I presume it had no comprehensive insurance coverage so the owner is screwed.
Looking at the photos it’s not the same truck – the Trinidad truck was an extended cab and the burned up Fortuna truck is a single cab…
If they only waited til the auto show in July they could have won the “Burn Out Contest”.
Yet again a Toyota truck is bringing terror to communities.
ISIS and growers driving Toyota trucks have the same agenda.
