This photo is it exactly minus the bug shield

[idiosyncratic]

thanks for the update! i'll be sure to look out for this!
.
the plate number helps! (even though theives are notorious in switching plates)
the roof racks will help in narrowing it down a little bit
How about VIN#? that would help a lot!

is that a gold plated Toyota symbol in the grill?
if it is that will help a lot too... if not, sorry, it just kind of looks like it in the photo.

manana elementary school is in pearl city. 1147 Kumano St, Honolulu, HI

[Act162this]

pearl city? i'm immediately thinking of the guys that swiped the Navi - they were hitting up homes in the Pearl City area, and there were keys, etc... found in recovered vehicles. they could have procured themselves another heist/getaway vehicle.

seems like alot of stolen cars get dumped on the wesside.. i'll keep a look out

[Koaheart]

Sorry for so many updates, it's a mess running around looking for another car and replacing items. The Truck is a 4X4 LMT, V-6 4A according to the bill of sale. So yes the detailing is GOLD and has GOLD in rear also. Car was kinda dirty on the outside. I know it's a popular vehicle, but I don't know why anyone would steal a family wagon.

[Act162this]

ah, okay, so it is a ltd... it'll have the two-tone flares and the semi-nerf bar, then. the gold emblems will stand out some, but there are so many of them out there it'll be hard to spot, esp. w/ stolen plates.

we'll keep our eyes out town side, though.

[idiosyncratic]

yup. i'll be another pair of eyes scrutinizing every similar looking forerunner!

people will steal just about anything nowadays given a chance... it's unfortunate that innocent people have to suffer for their stupidity.

hope that someone will spot it soon.

[Udrivecrap]

^^ yeah...

[Koaheart]

Here's the vin number as requested" VIN# JT3HN87R919057712

Here's a valid question. What or who is stopping a business from forming in Hawaii relating to the satellite tracking system of hi cost items? This is working all over the mainland! Is auto theft so important here that someone is creating problems for this type of business from starting here? I've noticed so many ridicules occurrences here in the past 15 yrs I've lived on O`ahu. Brinks just came here last year. LOL, look how old there company is! I love the peoples and admire the cultures that thrive here, but some things are just wrong! Take for example The dish Network! It's offered here, but has anyone found an installer? I appreciate any and all help finding the Forerunner, but it just stinks that our elected officals can't help protect us better, even tho we try ourselves with alarms, anti-theft devices etc! I'd pay for a global tracking if it were offered here! Insurance would be cheaper to offset the cost also or should be! Maybe out gov't is working problems in order, pot-holes 1st, and then economics, obviously the Homeless are last or so it seems! Karma will have her day with us all eventually!

will look out for it man, its kind of hard since theres lots of white forrunners.

i just hate the bastids who do that.. x_x

Police located the vehicle approx 200-300 yards from former parking place. The door locks and ignition switch are not even scratched. I'm thinking someone likes to play games. Who can recommend a decent car alarm system and installer. I also believe the locks need to be changed as well. Feel free to add your thoughts!

Thanks for everyones help.

Im glad you found it. You may want to invest in a GPS tracking system. I feel its worth the manini monthly fee AND it may be a benefit to your insurance.

[ArchangelX]

Good to hear that you found it...maybe someone took it for a joyride?

[beefy242]

great that you got it back in ur hands, man.

how long has it been sitting there?

[xurusaibobx]

theres one GPS tracking alarm in hawaii forgot what it was called

but one thing i heard that there isnt a satalite over hawaii all the time so GPS wont always be working

Hmmm. My old phone had GPS that worked all over. I know they sell D.I.Y. GPS kits but a professional installation WITH a guarantee of coverage would work out best.

Come to think of it, now I want GPS for my car!

[Act162this]

dunno about the GPS, but didn't the old Alpine car phones interface with their alarms so you could call your car phone and listen in to see if there was somebody in your car, let you yell at them, and even turn your car off/disable the ignition remotely?

at least if your car got stolen, you could call it and shut it down. most of the ignition kill devices that were popular some years ago were smart enough to wait until the car came to a complete stop, or was traveling less than 5 mph so it didn't shut it down on the freeway and cause an accident.
