INDIANAPOLIS — A rise in car thefts in Indianapolis has a north side resident now looking for answers after his beloved family truck was stolen in the middle of the night right out of his own driveway.
“I was a little sad when I found out it was gone,” Bill Siderys said.
When Siderys looks out his window to his driveway, a little piece of him is now missing.
“We’ve had the truck in the family for about 24 years. I got it passed down from my dad maybe five years ago when he passed away,” Siderys said.
Bill SiderysOn Wednesday, Siderys’ beloved 2000 Red Chevy Tahoe, kept in pristine condition, was stolen by a tow truck out of his own driveway at around 3:30 a.m.
To Siderys and his family, the truck is much more than just an everyday vehicle to get around in.
Nicknamed “Big Red,” it holds more than two decades of family memories.
“It’s been around a long time. I think everybody had been in a trip somewhere with it, either driving it themselves up to Chicago or down to college, or all together going back and forth to college,” Siderys said.
