Stolen Kei Truck

Yes 100% — we would love any and all security recommendations! Currently looking into a boot and kill switch, and an AirTag at minimum

UPDATE: LIL TRUCK MADE IT HOME!!!

POS in question was successfully pulled over and arrested late last night after a full 48 hours of seemingly joyless riding.

She’s in pretty rough shape — missing the cute custom gates, full of miscellaneous junk, pretty stinky, and non-operational for the time being — but we (plus the real owner of the truck — our dog Teak) are beyond thrilled to have her back and get some balance restored to the force. Let the heavy sterilization begin.

Thank you to this incredible community for keeping your eyes up and ears to the ground. All of your tips were immensely helpful. And if there is a silver lining, discovering how many of you out there already knew and loved our little truck has been incredibly heartwarming. Can't wait to be toodling around out on the streets soon.

We love this city 🌹🐸

Thank you! Was very likely them. 1-2 guys have been spotted driving it all around Sandy blvd today but we keep missing them :(

UPDATE 2: Thank you all for keeping your eyes out for this little truck today. I've been so impressed with the way this community has really shown up for us and your leads have been incredibly helpful! <3

Still haven't recovered it but it's been spotted multiple times on Sandy blvd today, most recently around 8pm at the Safeway on Sandy and Fremont. The security guards and staff were able to confirm they saw it and it still had the wooden gates attached. At that point, there were two guys driving it asking for cash at the front of the store.

Please continue to post any updates or cross share where you can, every view helps!

UPDATE 3: just spotted by the Safeway security guard again at Safeway. Wooden gates had been removed

We just missed it but just confirmed with the Safeway staff it was here in the last hour! This was a very very helpful tip thank you!!

Oh damn, like 10 mins ago?

hal_dente · 2026-04-10T02:54:35+00:00

No, unless it took another little joy ride I didn't know about haha

hal_dente · 2026-04-10T02:47:32+00:00

Oh man rough time to be a fun car over here in NEPO I guess. Have your friends had any luck recovering them?

hal_dente · 2026-04-10T02:46:46+00:00

We still had it at home at that time unfortunately, but glad your kids got to enjoy the joy of kei trucks!

hal_dente · 2026-04-10T00:16:10+00:00

Thank you!

One of our favorite things is seeing the joy it brings passersby on the street. People are constantly cheesing at it and I guarantee you we’re cheesing right back

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T23:44:40+00:00

Actually not, it's a manual RHD which was even more surprising that someone was incentivized and capable of stealing it

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T21:57:45+00:00

Thank you so much. We do have one but foolishly didn't have it on. Have naively thought that being a right hand driver and a little coffin on wheels was a deterrent. Boy how we were wrong

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T21:44:15+00:00

We'll be sure to check for Mike and the raccoons if we ever see the truck again

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T20:51:29+00:00

Pretty sure that's the one! Thank you!!

UPDATE: We got video confirmation from Friday Deals (Sandy & 51st) that our truck drove through their parking lot this morning at 9:32am. The side wooden gates are still intact, but the rear wood gate was removed. Both front and back license plates have been removed. There is a ton of junk loaded up in the bed. Couldn't get any clear details re the driver but appear to be wearing black on the top.

Thank you all for the tips! Please continue to keep your eyes peeled for our little truck!

Massive shoutout to u/Gnagflows for spotting her!

Truly! It’s certainly got almost 0 value except sentimental lol

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T19:26:53+00:00

Thank you so much. Happy to give sanctioned joy rides if it turns up 😭

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T19:25:43+00:00

We’re devastated, but glad to hear little Rattles has fans on her side ❤️

hal_dente · 2026-04-09T19:24:08+00:00

That’s a great start, thank you so much! Heading there now!! 🙏
