Here are some pics of my 2003 Tahoe that was stolen in Bakersfield, Ca 11/21/09 and recovered 11/23/2009. They gained entry from the driver's side keyhole and stole it in broad daylight.It started right up with a screwdriver to turn the ignition. How can I tell if the passlock system needs to be changed thats behind the ignition lock?? Now the abs and parking brake lights are on and for some reason when I turn the a/c & heater on nada works!hopefully its just a fuse. Stole the stereo/wiring, rims and battery, headlight & foglight switch, drivers side vent and pocket for some reason :think:. There are surface scratches that can be buffed out from when they drove it in the orchard and ditched it in Delano, Ca. I have new crossdrilled & slotted rotors on order with Summit as well as Hawk Pads from Jegs. I will be replacing the pieces in the interior, Escalade exterior handles (prob rear handles without the keyhole on the front doors if it will work), new mirrors since these are scratched on the plastic with LED signal OEM's and colormatch with chrome caps new 24's and a 3/5 drop with a alarm this time. :imo:rofljest: Prob paint the lower valence and bumper cap in the future too. It's @ my friends shop waitin' for parts!
On to the pics....

Got it back on the ground with the new brakes and I started wiring up the stereo. We are going to crank the keys up a lil in the front too. Got the drivers side h/l switch, pocket and vent/piece they stole all back together. Going to wirine up the foglight harness after I found one since they cut that. Locksmith came out and fixed the ignition and it fired right up with no screwdriver this time. Hawk brakes sent me the wrong pads for the rear 2x so I just went to napa and got some ultra premium ceramic pads. I was sick of dealing with waiting on brakes. Some updates:
