Attempted Theft Xmas Eve


Recommended Posts

As I was packing up to head down on Xmas morning, I get a phone call from my dad who was already at Dumont saying someone attempted to steal his quad last night and to bring him gloves and a flag. He was parked near the edge overlooking the wash near toilet 12.

About 4:00AM he heard something and looked outside and saw that his unlocked quad was missing and saw a pickup driving out the wash towards the entrance. By the time he could get his buddy awake in his hauler and get in the truck, the thieves were gone. The good news is that the thieves must've been sufficiently spooked to drive fast enough that my dads quad fell off the trailer undamaged. I thought this was strange as we always lockup all OHV's and gas before bed.

While my dad and his buddy were driving around near the wash gathering his gear and quad they saw a dude on a quad. They stopped to talk to the guy and the guy said his KTM was just stolen. His answers and demeanor were a bit off so my dad thinks he may have been a lookout.

Thanks for the heads up, that seems to be the area most thefts occur out there. Glad it all worked out for your dad.
