--------------------------------------------- Two charged with stealing Jeep Wrangler doors

Published on: 02/23/04

Cobb County police have arrested two people in connection with a rash of stolen Jeep Wrangler doors. Jason Snyder, 24, of Marietta, and Del Love, 22, of Kennesaw, were charged with felony theft, said Cobb police Cpl. Brody Staud. The men are accused of stealing the hard doors off the Jeeps, then selling them through various publications, Staud said. "This has been an ongoing investigation for many months, and investigators believe the thefts have cost victims in excess of $100,000," Staud said. Staud said the investigation is continuing, and more arrests are possible.

Yeep. Lesson learned is never sell doors to the police. Another lesson is be careful what you buy on Ebay. The people that bought them are most likely going to be out some doors and have to go through the court system to try and recoupe their money. Good luck to them. When you buy doors with no keys you might want to wonder if there is some kind of problem.

True true. Receivers of stolen property must part with it. I hate to mention this, but my Brother and Sister-in-laws bought a Suburban a few years back. They got it off my brother-in-laws boss. Amagine that. He worked for a car rental / Limo service here Vail. This service being a had both Suburbans, cars, etc. and Stretches.

What happened was the owner of the car rental / limo service was in corruption with a local towing company. Mederios towing. My brother-in-law to the best of my knowledge didn't know how corrupt his boss was. What the deal turned out to be was that the towing company would rip illegally parked cars and trucks. Not say a word. Then they had a accomplice in the DMV. This person would then apply for title. After the title was obtained the rental company would sell the vehicles to the public as "used rentals" at an unbelievable good price. My brother could resist and bought a 1997 Suburban. To make a long story a touch shorter my brother in law had the cops knock on his door one day (almost a year later) and confiscated the vehicle to return to the original owners. He still had to make car payments on a vehicle that he no longer possesed. He had to pay for about 6 months before his lawyer finally got it cleared. What a PITA!!!

I live west of Atlanta and my 99 TJ was broke into in August of 03. They cut the top, took my simpson 5 point belts, seat cover, shifter knob, zip out windows, and a air compressor. The Grant removeable steering wheel, and locked steering wheel hub kept them from just steeling the Jeep. The bastards had the drivers side door lifted half way off of the hinges when they left. My Lab must have scared them off before they had time to rip the doors. I installed door locks, so they will have to work harder next time.

My buddy used to live in St. Louis. Some bastards stole the top off his Isuzu Amigo (not exactly sure which rice-burner this 4x4 was but all it had was a soft top) in the middle of winter, during a snowstorm. When he came down to his truck it was filled w/a foot of snow.
