Bucket The Jeep

I have to share a little something with you all. Most of you know my storage unit was robbed recently and have been dealing with bank fruad on top of it all. Update on this is that it’s moving along but extremely slow and so incredibly disappointing. I’m hoping the criminals are caught and will be brought to justice eventually. So much was taken and it’s been a hard pill to swallow for us all. Much can be replaced over time but there are things that can’t and will be missed immensely.

Over the past weekend, Violet (my 8 year old) asked me if the “robber lady” has kids.

I told her I didn’t know if she did or not. Then Violet said, “Mommy, if she does have kids, it’s okay if she gives them all my stuffed animals.”

I sat next to her and gave her the biggest hug, many kisses and shed more than a few tears. These stuffed animals were all from her long hospital stay at Children’s Hospital in 2020. They were part of her fight for life. She held every single one of them at different times so close to her for comfort and rest. Each one of them has a memory attached. My emotions were running deep in this moment.

She smiled at me with a look in her eyes I can’t begin to describe. In that moment I realized something really powerful… this little girl sees the world with more kindness and grace than most adults ever will.

This girl is special beyond anything I know and I am so greatful for her presence and love for this world that is not so great at times. 💜

My sweet girl you are gold.

Countdown to EJS 2026! Project one is in the books. My beadlocks are mounted on my new and with some adjustments they are now on my jeep. Test drive home was great! Thank you for your help!

Got my old set of tires sold today and off to a good home. ✔️

I lost some of my season build in theft this past week. But thank God I had my tires at a different location! So thankful.

These were a raffle win during Trail Hero 2025! I’m grateful to have them on finally. Thank you again Mickey Thompson!

2-17 I got a call from a Wells Fargo Branch in Wheat Ridge, CO this evening. The teller was suspicious on a woman that came in to cash a check. My current address didnt match the address on check. I knew right then it was an old check the theives found from the robbery. I asked if the teller was speaking in private and she said yes. I told her to call the police right away that she was wanted for robbery. The teller went to check if the woman was still there. But she fled the scene. So here is what im worried about. The theive is getting rid of all stolen. If you know anyone in Wheat Ridge, CO please share this post. If anyone happens to see anything remotely similar to pics in my post in dumpsters thrown away or in pawn shops or on social media like fb marketplace or craigslist please let me know.

We are close to getting the crooks! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Please take a moment to look through some of these pics. My storage unit has been robbed. I can’t even begin to tell the loss I’ve taken. I don’t have pics of the majority taken. But here is some of the loss. I’m showing pics of some of the more identifiable items. If you are in the state of Colorado and happen to see an item listed on fb or Craigslist please let me know. If we can make just one connection to the theft especially early on it could break the case. We have their DL and last known address but can’t solidly nail them down due to the poor video footage.

There’s footage of them in the middle of the night coming and going from the entrance of Ace Storage off Santa Fe in Littleton, CO THE PAST FEW DAYS! They are seen coming and going and even letting people in in the middle of the night and a man crawling under the gate but we don’t have a license plate that’s clear and since it was dark we can’t clearly see items packed on roof rack and the tailgate carrier.
Looks like my gear but can’t say for sure.

Items taken:
Motobilt rear corner guards new in box
Motobilt tail lights
Baja Design 2 sets of lights one set new in box
Thousands of dollars in tools
4 PRP harnesses 3 silver one youth purple all new in box
Huge Crates full of new jeep parts that I was just about to install for upcoming season. Crates are black with yellow tops.
Tons of jeep related flags. Mounting hardware.
Tons of recovery gear.
Stihl chainsaw that I won from On X Offroad has an identifying sticker on it.
Long boards
Canvas camping wall tent in about 4-5 canvas cream colored bags.
Two paddle boards
All of my camping gear and chairs
Two coolers worth over $500
All my fly fishing gear
My orange Scott Mountain bike that has identifying stickers on it from The Bikery at Breck Brewery.
All of my decorations and lights for Violet’s annual Little Miss V Toy Drive and Parade. Including huge inflatables that are a polar bear and 4x4 jeep. All of our handouts and supplies for the drive.

All of these items + so much more were taken but the loss of our childhood keepsake bins were all taken. I’m sobbing at this loss. Some things can be replaced but the keepsakes can’t. Please share my post.
