WOODBRIDGE — A Navy veteran needs the Woodbridge community’s help locating his missing truck he inherited from his late brother.
Sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. on March 12, a black 2006 Chevrolet Silverado Intimidator SS was stolen from the 2900 block of Wren Court in Woodbridge. The truck disappeared from the home of Derek Toland, a Navy veteran, and his wife Jamie Randall.
This truck means more to Toland than just a means of transportation. It is the last physical tie he had to his brother, R.J. Toland. R.J. Toland was serving his seventh year in the Navy as an aviation technician in 2013 when he passed in a motorcycle crash.
“…ever since it was given to me I’ve taken the best care of it I can, I cherish it being in my possession now knowing that he loved the vehicle. One thing I loved to do was play the song ‘I Drive Your Truck,’ by Lee Brice and just drive for a bit. We played that song at my brothers funeral and it hits the heart in a special way every time,” Toland states in an email.
The limited edition truck has very distinctive features, according to Toland.
“The truck stands out more than your ordinary Silverado. It has lower suspension, a black Chevy bow tie symbol on the front grill, a black grill, black front end intake exhausts below the bumper, original stock clear headlights and taillights, a splotch of off black paint on the driver door that is noticeably different, rain guards on the driver and passenger windows with one partially falling off, and stock chrome rims on it when it was stolen,” Tolan’s email states. .
Having this truck back will make Toland feel, “…whole again, it’s all I want right now. I’m grateful for whoever knows about it in the community and area to be looking for it.”
“I wouldn’t have this truck had my brother not passed away six years ago. Not having it in my possession is one thing, but the thought of it not ever being found is heartbreaking,” Toland said.
The couple reported the truck stolen to Prince William p
Anyone with information about this incident they can report it to the Prince William County Police Department at 703-792-6500 or on its website.
