Shadow the Cats owner It was damaged to the point of the Insurance company of the manufactor is totalling it out.
What & How did they damage it sufficient to cause it to be totaled? I can't see the frame or the drive train being damaged by vandals.
The paint job on this truck was a special one for our #1 driver in seniority he has been with us for 40 years. He had custom designed it with multiple colors and had asked for and gotten a higher end interior. Well they destroyed the paint job by scratching the paint to where it was going to require repainting that damage alone was 20K they then cut off the fuel tanks another 15K to replace stole the custom wheels yes there are few choices they had a different hole patteren in them. That was another 12K then they had fun with the engine they found the wires cut interior had been defacated on and cut for almost another 60K in damage. Where was the transport driver during this in his Hotel room. Time to destory this truck less than 5 mins. The next one my boss and his father are going to the factory and picking it up and driving it back nonstop. For the engine they smashed in the radiator and EGR coolers. Transmission and rear ends are fine frame is good just the rest of the truck is destroyed.

You weren't dealing with everyday, run of the mill vandals. You were dealing with professional chop shop terrorist. Removing fuel tanks and wheels is far from vandalism.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

The railroads must be cracking down on vandalism and tightening up on their security.
I think things are looking better.
When I watch the live streaming video from Rochelle, Illinois, I notice more and more railroad freight cars have NOT been vandalized with graffiti.
