Anyone in or near Sparks , NV. ?
« on: Dec 28, 2009, 01:47:03 PM »
I know BD is in Reno , not sure how close that is to Sparks . I need a small favor . Quick rundown : Someone was asking about a 4Runner on Pirate , said he'd spotted it in a store parking lot and it'd been sitting for about a month and it was covered in dust and bird s  :lipsrsealed: t and was wondering if anyone knew the owner. I happened to know the owner so I tried calling him because it didn't sound right that it'd be abbandoned after he spent so much money building it . It's now been over a week of trying to get a hold of him with no luck , no ring , just straight to voicemail . I've left a couple of mesages but have not heard back . Now all of a sudden the 4 Runner is gone (according to the person who posted it) . . . Something sounds strange about the whole situation and I just want to make sure everything is okay . I'd like to see if someone who is local to him can cruise by his place and see if everything is okay . I have his address but didn't wanna post it on Pirate or any public forum . I would go myself but I am in Southern California and am a bit far . If someone is willing to , it'd be really cool and i can PM his address . Here is the link on Pirate :  http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=847316

Very strange... hope you find out what's been going on, and that Keith is okay. That pic (on Pirate) is supposed to be a store parking lot? With that lineup of trucks, it looks more like a used-car lot. Wonder if he sold it, or if it was stolen?  :dunno:
My goal in life is to be as a good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

No , I guess I should've gave a little more info . That picture was taken at my friend's old shop about a year and a half ago . He's the one that did all the work on it and I'm the one that got Keith all the parts . Like I mentioned , Keith lives in Sparks , NV. and I live in So Cal and the 4 Runner was spotted in Northern California in a grocery store parking lot covered in dust .

 Jason went by the address I had and it was a UPS store . He shipped something to me a couple years back and I guess that's the address I had . I can't seem to find his home address . His cell phone is still turned off but Jason did a little research and found another possible phone number which I called but the recording says he's not accepting calls at this time . Jason said he'd check out the other address when he got back in town .

From pirate, I guess the vehicle is no longer registered in his name, but a woman's name, with his last name.
A couple guys from the area have said that they've seen it around, seems to be her driving it.  Infernal was calling it case closed on Pirate.  :thumbs:
