Tree Huggers vs. Rednecks... Need I say more?

Problem is.. 4Runners are currently selling anywhere from 2K - 5K HIGHER than what the Canadian Black Book "book value" is. This is what I'm worried about.

haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!! Snakeman's right tho.. urban legend. http://www.snopes.com/crime/justice/grambo.asp That's too bad!

Yeesh!! Gorgeous broonies!!

Nope... just know that the Canmore RCMP dealt with it and my 4Runner is at their impound lot there..

Welcome a .. board! heh heh

I'm really not looking forward to dealing with the insurance company... This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me. Any tips on what I should do if they try and low ball me or something? Can I sue the guys that stole it for the rest of the money?

Thanks for the comments everyone.. such is life. Kind of amusing part of the story.. my wife is talking to an officer in Canmore about it.. says to him "do us a favor.. if you have to visit them in the hospital make sure you stick a finger in one of their wounds for us!" and the officer's like "yeh, no doubt". lol That'd be sweet if he does! Even funnier... she proceeds to tell him how that was our only vehicle.. that we just bought it this summer and both absolutely loved it. He's like "well, I happen to know someone who's selling one.." and she's like "yeh?", he says "yeh, ME." I guess he's got one that's pretty much identical.. same year and model, and only 130K! He says it's been serviced regularly and is in great shape! So my wife says "alright, well, we're dealing with the insurance company now but we might give you a call."

Got a call at 5:40am this morning.. "is Tarah Birch there?" "umm.. yes, who's speaking?" "This is Constable so and so from the RCMP, does Tarah own a silver 4Runner?" "We both own it, but yes it's in her name.." (as I'm wiping my eyes and looking out the window in our bedroom). "Holy crap".. "Canmore RCMP are currently in possesion of your vehicle. We just wanted to make sure that you didn't give anyone permission to take it." "No sir, we did not." "Okay, that's all we wanted to know. The Canmore officer will call you and provide you with more details." About half an hour later the officer from Canmore calls and tells me they got called to the scene of a “roll-over accident”.. and then breaks the news that the 4Runner is written off and I need to get in touch with the insurance company. Without sounding too vengeful.. the b@stards got taken to the hospital because they got banged up pretty good in the accident I guess. Oh.. and the officer told me “we’ve been looking for them”. So they had a history. Knew what they were doing too.. no glass on the road.. didn’t hear the alarm. I hate people.

Seasons half over.. I'm pretty sure that means they'll only be paying him $750,000.. I think he's worth it.

If I remember right.. they were anywhere from $1.50 - $2.50.

Coming from an Oilers fan... That's a solid pickup. Kipper shouldn't have to play as often as he does. As the article mentioned.. he's only not started one game this year. Cujo is still good enough to give him some more rest..

Yeh.. that's the common consensus. Also quite a big part of the explanation as to why there are not alot of good pictures or video. Most people are in the process of fillin their shorts and the camera is the last thing on their mind!

Icky Fly Works or Glenbow Fly Fishing.. Support the members man!

Gorgeous Crowbow!

Sound anything like this? http://bfro.net/AVEVID/MJM/ss-snobf.wav

Those pictures were nuts adc!! Especially with the description that you dropped it and reeled it back in again and it still didn't let go!! LOL

See the problem with alot of this is that there are quite a few PROVEN hoaxes... so people just assume that they're ALL hoaxes. The fact of the matter is though, that there is alot of evidence that shows that there is some sort of unidentified North American ape. A number of the videos you see on the internet are obvious hoaxes, others are debatable. The video Pacres posted above is commonly agreed upon to be a hoax, for the obvious reason rickr stated.. these are very intelligent creatures that DO NOT want to be seen.. yet this one just walks in the field while a helicopter circles around. The most famous video is the Patterson/Gimlin film, and it has never been proven to be a hoax.. (although attempts have been made to "re-create" the scenario with significant $$$ invested): Some will quickly dismiss it as a man in a suit.. however there's a whole bunch of detail that is almost impossible to replicate in that case.. ONE example:

Thank God the address in the current phone book isn't up to date AND I have Primus.. so if you call me once and I don't like you.. you can never call me again.

Man.. the one time I tried running a 3 nymph rig I got tangled up so many times I said "screw that jazz" and went back to 2.

And you guys call ME the "FFC Official Joke'ster"...

I recently read a book called Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, and it's pretty convincing! On top of that a good friend of mine had a "glimpse" sighting when hiking back in K-Country a few years back. I know him very well.. he's very intelligent and very outdoors'ey, and he's convinced it wasn't a person, or any animal known to live around here.

It's a touchy subject you heartless b@stard!!

And if so... Anyone ever think they've seen one?? With the amount of time alot of us spend in K Country.. on the FTR, etc.. Just curious..
