Help with stolen equipment

On Monday I had my 5.6 gpm, 2500 psi pressure pro stolen from the bed of my truck while it was parked in my driveway during the daytime. Does anybody close (couple hours drive from Knoxville, TN) have a spare I could rent, borrow, etc.. for a little bit till either insurance writes me a check, or I purchase a new one. It does not have the same specs, but all I see for rent here are 2 or 3 gallon per minutes. Any help would be appreciated, and I would be glad to pay with money as well as some home brew that is itching to be consumed.
 
Sunbelt has some bigger units for rent.

That sucks Keenan!

I had a 6 month old 3K PSI 3 GPM cold water ripped out the back of my truck also a year ago at my house!

I hate fricking thieves especially they took my wand,water hose and pressure washing hose. They have everything to go be a hack and steal peoples $ with my equipment!

I hope whoever stole your rig get what they deserve for being a thief!
 
It seems like people are stealing the big ticket items these days. I live in one of the safest cities in america and I still keep my toolboxes on my truck locked even if my truck is in my driveway.

You have to do whatever it takes to protect your equipment these days. Chain, bolt, pitbull with a long leash.

It was my fault, usually I will unload the pressure washer immediately when I get home. I went inside to use the bathroom then decided to get off my feet for a few minutes. I had been home for less than an hour, but I should have taken it out immediately.

When someone steals something from you it is never your fault. You may have made a poor choice by not putting the equipment away, but you are not to blame. We should all be safe in our homes and our belongings should be safe too. Unfortunately that is not the world we live in.
 
Man I am sorry to hear that!!

I hope you can find it and everything works out for you!!

Chad, I called Sunbelt today after looking at their website and you are correct. Unfortunately many months ago I called them and the guy on the phone said they had nothing in the 5 gpm range. I figured he would know best, so I didn't do any more research. Looking at their website and talking to them today, after seeing your post and it is apparent that they do have bigger machines. Thanks

Call Kevin at 423-598-0569 tell him I ask you to call him. They show several on their website and Kevin has told me before they have them. He is out of Chattanooga but I think he can help you out.

I had previously called the Sunbelt store here in Knoxville, and the guy who answered said they did not have what I was looking for. I failed to look at their website. After Chad posted, I inquired again and they do have something that will fit my needs. I will call your guy and see what happens. I will most likely be ordering a new pressure washer today or tomorrow if I can get over the pain associated with dropping a bunch of money. Thanks again.

Chad, you ever deal with Washing Equipment of Tennessee (WETN) on Middlebrook Pike?

For rental or purchase?
If your buying locally I would call Justin from Etowah on Middlebrook Pike. I've been told by a couple other local guys that WET isn't all that great to deal with.

Those guys don't always know what they're talking about. Renting would be a better option for you. Our machines run 6-7 days a week. Plus if I let you borrow one, it might get stolen too lol.
