On Friday, November 29, at 1:15pm in the middle of the afternoon, this truck drove into our yard and over the septic tank, crushing the tank. It is going to cost us over $6000 to repair this damage. The address of this is
5105 Wallis Rd
Bryan, TX
between Coulter Field and Messina Hoff winery.

If you can help us identify this truck, we would appreciate it. We know that it is a fairly late-model "dually" full size pick-up. Solid black with a custom front grill.

A still shot of the truck (zoomed in) is

Looks like a late model Ford, all black with gold on the fender flares.

Didn't watch the movies, but if you have a license plate the outdoor board can help you

File on your home insurance and hand everything over to them. That's why you pay them.

And they are.... except for the $1000 deductible.

Still sucks that someone had huge steel balls to do this in the middle of the day (while we were home). It's probably good that I didn't have a gun next to the front door - I WOULD have emptied the magazine into that truck. #BeyondFurious

No plate. Could not get close enough.

Thanks for telling me where you live and when you aren't at home.

Handy.

I was home.

Outdoor board is what you need

I'm on the outdoor board ... but how is this "outdoor related"? Criminal activity seems more "general" to me.

The OB for sure. Did they drive straight to the location of the septic? That seems suspicious in and of itself. Anyone you know that would have a reason to target you for being a *****

This is the general board, not the outdoor board.

And this would have been dumb and most likely landed you in jail.

He's not sure what board he's on so look what you're dealing with.

Or they're in the septic repair business and were looking for more business to fund the holidays....

---

Like when funeral homes leave their sprinklers on during overnight freezes.

My first thought was they figured nobody was home and were driving around to the back of the house when they hit the septic tank. It looks like they almost got stuck. You can see the front end rise as they back up. I bet they were gonna kick in the back door.

---

As someone that's had this happen, this is what was about to happen. Even if you hadn't been home it'd have been cheaper in treasure and mind to replace the septic through your insurance.

Since you were home, thank God he fell in the septic and left. I hope you/the OB/the cops/much deeper septic system catch the guy and burn him at the stake/drown him in other people's *****

Your house probably looks like an easy target. Get a remote entry gate and otherwise harden entry to the property.

ETA: I Streetviewed your house. Very similar situation to my house that got kicked in middle of the day. Not on a common day off like Friday after Thanksgiving so we were at work. And your neighbor has a full view of your place it seems. We were out of sight of the neighbors.

I would get cameras. You can get an Arlo 3 4-camera system for around $750 or so. It will catch everything and upload it to the internet before they would ever get in your house. It definitely would have picked up a license plate. I have some of my cameras very visible just so criminals know and hopefully pick a different house.

Also, we once had a crime occur near my business and the police came to my office and asked my permission to go through our videos and I let them. They didn't find what they were looking for but ended up finding it at another businesses camera. I wonder if the police or any businesses have a better video of that truck around that same time in that area. It would probably take a police officer investigating in order for people to cooperate but I had no issue trying to help the cops catch a criminal.

This is completely outdoors. Your topic title should be something along the lines of "Trespassing Pickups are Outdoors".

Does the neighbor across the street have security cameras?

time to build a moat

And crap in it

If you were home why didn't you stop him?

Don't people locate septic well behind their improvements for reasons such as this?

Call Septic repair companies, if guy shows up in that truck to do a walk through / quote, then you've found your man.
