I was gonna comment that the mud looked like good 'ole Georgia red clay, but nevermind, cause I know that no good 'ole boy from Ga. would have messed up your truck like that and ripped you off while it was stuck...

well literally there are only 2 homes within at least 2 miles. both of which we stopped at to see if they had a tractor to pull us out. the first guy was a dick, and i really wouldnt be surprised if it was him. the 2nd guy was an old vet and i have no reason to suspect it was him. again, the rover was left over night as well, but wasnt broken into. if it wasnt the 1st guy, it had to be some freakin *** who just roams that area. they are all over out in the boondocks around here. and ya its not GA. it happened just west of town in Stillwater, Ok. i go to OSU

Wow that really sucks about the break in. People who do that are scum. It's a really crappy feeling seeing your windows busted out and wondering what you're going to find missing or destroyed when you get over to the vehicle. I had some jackass do that to me when I had my Integra, ripped my head unit out of the dash along with half my wiring harness...

With my insurance policy, if I want insurance on my non-oem audio system, GPS and etc. I have to claim them on the policy. Of course this makes the policy go up in price so I don't claim any of it.

It's sad but a lot of insurance companies are set up this way. I've always separate insurance policies for the contents of my vehicles. I currently have an "rider" policy thru Allstate that has my contents (non oem stuff) listed as being covered for $2500.

The kicker of the extra isurance is that they depreciate the value of your non oem stuff at a rate of 10% per year. So as your audio equipment and other gadgets age - they lose replacement value. If I had to replace all of my stuff and buy new it would cost over $2500 but since me depreciated value is about $2500 - that's how much insurnace I carry.

All in all is sucks your stuff got stolen. And I hope this post helps.

More than likely knocked your alignment out of place, I did last time I went out.
