[UPDATE Saturday: Vehicle Found] Grandfather’s 1997 Ford Ranger Stolen When He Was Picking up Great-Grandson From School in Eureka
Not the actual stolen vehicle but one like it.
Yesterday, David Schmidt, a Vietnam Vet, was at Alice Birney Elementary School picking up his great-grandson when his 1997 white Ford Ranger was stolen.
“[T]his is his main transportation,” his grandaughter, Alysha Thomas told us. The pickup has a “Vietnam sticker” in the back window and it’s license plate number is 8N08573.
If you have any information, please contact the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4060.
UPDATE Saturday: A reader located the vehicle and it’s location was reported to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle has been returned to the owner!

Used to be a hanging offense to steal someone’s mode of transportation.
~’civil asset forfeiture’ comes to mind. The alleged Lieutenants in a Sheriff’s Dept., just get a phony bulloney warrant for a vehicle! —minus anything that resembles due process on the land in a republic.
No consequences as Renaissance1 says in below comment.
right … Hang em… Hang em high! same with these pot theives… that there’s a hangin offense!
🕯🌳We will keep our eyes open for it brother. 🇺🇸
No consequences anymore for anything anymore, use to go to prison for stealing a car, now it happens every day, ugh!!
If you want to see more of this vote democrat. Yeeaahhh a blue tidal wave of protected thieves and addicts. A blue wave of millions on welfare, disability, SSI and unemployment. But hey, at least you get free government cheese …..
Go to a psychotherapist, you need help.
THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE LABORATORY TESTS FOR ANY SO-CALLED MENTAL DISORDER.
~let’s screen everybody to find out if they have mental disorders. Let’s diagnose as many people as possible with mental disorders and give them toxic drugs—
Today on The Point, the devildoers are suggesting that 6 and 8 y.o.
be screened.
Between that advert and the pushers pushing their toxic injections
advert, and the “green” zombie business advertising, i have to turn the radio off.
Who gives a s*** if he did leave the keys in the car men back in the day used to leave their horse right by the hitching rail with just a leather strap holding it what the f*** does that mean [edit]
There is no help for the truth guest, only those In Denialism need help. You must really like the cheese….
Some “people” I’m not sure if Tweakers count as “People” but for the sake of convenience… will steal anything that isn’t nailed down or if they can get a pry bar under it…!!!
David, this is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. Just guessing that this Vietnam Veteran left the keys n the car.
No, not so. They find ways to enter older cars. Proven fact in Humboldt now. Even locked cars they are gaining entrance to. They stole my dad’s 26 year old locked Honda by using 1 of the 4 keys used back then. Yes, it was locked. Yes they abandoned it later with “their” key jammed into the ignition.
I will be praying for recovery of your vehicle and returned in same condition.
I remember a time when we never had to worry about stuff like this in Eureka.
Sad! Sad! Sad! when you cant even leave your vehicle to pick up children from school….😫
Dave Sorry to hear about your truck.l believe you will be getting it back. As for the Vietnam sticker the schools hardly teach that subject Stay strong…

Had to of been meth involved 🤔
Sorry to hear. But I bet it’s not Mandel transmission.
Humboldt county sheriff recovered it today around 145pm. Pacific towing picked it up and towed it back to the owners house. Pacific towing didnt charge him anything.
~good to hear. However, i doubt that Honsal The County’ Sheriff, with 200+ under his command, left his desk.
That’s why he has 200+ under his command. Duh!
🕯🌳Alright community that’s the way to pull it together. 👍🏾👍🏾👏👏👑👑
Kudos to Pacific Towing. Thank you folks.
