Concord Police are searching for a man who attempted to steal a coin machine from the car wash on Matheson Rd. in Concord, just off Clayton Rd.
The crime occurred on Sep.24 at 7:30 a.m., according to police.
After making several attempts to steal the machine, he eventually gave up and decided to leave.
The truck used in the crime was reported stolen from a nearby neighborhood that same morning, police said.
The pickup truck is described as a black 2000 Toyota Tacoma (Plate #: 01295Z1) with oxidized paint.
The truck and suspect are still outstanding. If you happen to see the pickup truck, please contact the Concord Police Department at 925-671-3333.
If you can provide any information on this case, please contact Detective Chris Blakely at Christopher.Blakely@cityofconcord.org.
Low wages, long grueling hours, no benefits.
This was the inevitable endgame.
If he needs to start his own coin collection why doesn’t he just go TO THE MINT
what an a**
7:30 am? Good for him – early bird gets the cash machine. Or not.
That Tacoma looks like its had better days. Are we taking bets on whether he steals a better truck and comes back for that coin machine?…
If he managed to yank that thing out with a Tacoma, I wouldn’t even press charges.
Coins…really?? Thinking small!
.
People do put bills in to make the coins come out, you know.
He was counting on getting a copper 1943s wheat tail.
Now that’s a rare one, I once found a 1909 S VDB
Dang! I got excited for a minute. I’m staring at a 1944 wheat tail that I got as change recently. Looks like this one is probably worth…. 15 cents
I can see the license plate, can’t they look up the owner (unless the truck was stolen)? 😉

The truck belongs to my boyfriend. It was stolen last week. There was some personal items that are sentimental. If you see this truck, please call the cops. It is the second truck he’s had stolen in a year…
I think that maybe he had a huge pile of laundry and needed some quarters to go to the laundromat.Nobody in Concord will give you change.
Saw the video on TV last night. Hilarious!
Salty here..
Maybe the dirtbag thief should have stolen a bigger truck..
What a moron. In this case CRIME didnt PAY.. Hopefully they catch this dirtbag before that 70 yr old dirty harry finds him..😉😂
Salty OUT!!!
