Would Whoever Took Jody Dean’s Pickup Please Return It?
KLUV morning DJ Jody Dean got a shock yesterday afternoon following a three-hour shopping spree at NorthPark Center: The only thing in the parking-lot spot where he’d left his two-year-old Dodge Ram pickup was a pile of broken glass. The white truck (with a Hemi) was his pride and joy, Dean said, and contained a bunch of valuable stuff. When we left him he was fuming about the apparent lack of security cameras in the NorthPark lot–and threatening to rant about it Monday morning. A spokeswoman for the shopping center declined to comment.

Does being on the radio in Dallas help get your vehicle recovered?
Does it help if you lambasted the opponent of the current mayor.
Certainly that fantastic Jody Dean can call his buddy the Mayor and get his pick up truck back…on the fast track. Here are some of his comments he made about Ed Oakley during the campaign for which he seemed to blame
for the high crime rate in Dallas.

Re: Oakley
The guy is widely regarded as a sleazeball.
Using that thinking, one could easily say that because Oakley was present downtown when Dallas blew its chance to land the Cowboys, he shares blame for the team’s flight to Arlington.
And for the city’s explosive crime rate.
It seems that NorthPark should be closed down immediately if they are unable to protect American royalty like Jody Dean.
It is rare that someone in America gets an automobile ripped off and we know that Jody KLUVed his truck. He demands and deserves as much special treatment as the Queen of Whales & Dolpins
At least Jody Dean’s pickup truck will meet a fate better than the $100,000 stolen Range Rover that the Dallas Police have been trying to fish out of White Rock Creek at LBJ/Park Central for the last 4 days.
Unconfirmed secondhand rumor is that it belongs to a member of America’s Team.
I know it’s Christmas and these things happen, but I wonder if car thefts and burglaries on the rise this year. I was at Target on Haskell at about 6 pm this evening. There was a pile of broken glass in an empty parking space about 100 feet from the front door. That shopping center used to have one of those DPD cherry-picker surveillance things but not today. I guess North Park didn’t have them on Friday.
I am sorry for Jody Dean. He may be a local celebrity to some degree, but like anyone else he will have to deal with his insurance company and all the attendant hassles. That said, his little rant on Monday won’t solve anything if he gets all ******* and makes it about himself a la Mike Gallagher on 660 AM. Instead, he should remind his audience that if the Nashers can’t provide rudimentary parking lot security at the height of the Christmas shopping season, how could they possibly deal with, God forbid, a situation like the one that happened in Omaha the other day where customers were in very real danger?
Who the hell is Jody Dean? No really. Who the hell is Jody Dean?
Not really sure either. Must be local celeb.
Mom,
Jody Dean is the daughter and heir apparant to her Dad Jimmy’s sausage factory. She had a hit a one time called “Did I Shave My Legs For This”….a rhetorical song I guess as we never heard the answer.
Who the hell is Jack E. Jett? No really. Who the hell is Jack E. Jett?
From what I hear Jack E. Jett was voted one of People Magazine’s most sexy men over 70 in the year 1998.
He has a very large family, a beautiful wife, and three incredible children.
He gives to charity and vice versa. He currently is working on the Mike Huckabee campaign.
Oh, thank goodness he is a Republican. I was worried about him since he whines like a Democrat.
brian…
There is not a democratic bone in Jack Jett’s body. He use to host a show that promoted family values and no child left behind. He is a solid man
Didn’t say he was a dem, said he whined like one.
I really dig bald guys…is he single?
Ooops… I forgot the religion angle…

An update - the truck was recovered Saturday about 2:30 by DPD. It was - as they call it - a Carmax Shopping Trip. The ignition was punched and all four tires and (factory) rims were stolen. The recovery sheet doesn’t mention whether the briefcase, wine, etc were inside.
What I failed to mention and didn’t realize until this morning is that my Bible was in that truck. I bought it thirty years ago as a college freshman, and over the last five years or so have filled it with notes, highlights, thoughts, and observations. As close as anything I have to a diary or journal, that’s the one thing I wanted to make sure I passed on to my kids - since it reflects who I am and what I think. When it hit me where I’d put it, I said out loud that “they” could keep everything else as long as I got that back. Maybe, I hope, Christmas came early.
Oh, and there’s a punchline. Turns out that even if your vehicle has been stolen, the pound charges $110 to get it back.
No, being a celebrity doesn’t count for much. Next time I meet one I’ll ask and make sure.
“Royalty”? Now THAT’S funny. When I get my truck back, I’ll give you a ride. The seats are real vinyl. Ooo!
Tom Leppert “my buddy”? Never met the man. Not even once.
Fact is, all I am is a shopper who got his truck stolen and was (am) mad about it. Less at Northpark (because this happens everywhere to everyone). More at the idea that at the one time of year you can visit the mall and know most people are thinking of someone else, there are people scouting the lot outside who aren’t thinking of anyone but themselves. I have the resources to deal with a stolen truck. Alot of people don’t. Could have been the lady with two toddlers in the stroller who asked if I needed to use her phone, or the old man who asked me if I wanted to let my 2-year-old sit in his car. The bozos who took it didn’t care, and that does hack me off. And I’ll say something about it on the off-hand chance that it might keep it from happening to them - or you.
And the idea that Ed Oakley is widely regarded as a sleazeball didn’t originate with me - although I can understand that impression.
Incidentally, I learned a great deal over the last 48 hours. For one, Northpark security are among the best trained anywhere, and respected by DPD and local law enforcement. They are also licensed to carry firearms (a rarity) although they usually do not.
Some of y’all on here act like the guy shouldn’t care because he’s well known. And the election has nothing to do with whether or not somebody’s car got stolen. Bitter much? But whatever advances the agenda I guess.
“Carmax shopping trip” ??? Does this mean that these cars end up at Carmax or something? And less than a day later? That’s scary.
I’ve never heard of Jody what’s his face. But I will attest that Jack Jett is most certainly not a Democrat, sir. He is chairman of the North Texas Family Values Commission, where during his tenure he has tirelessly excoriated the homosexual agenda. Jack Jett is a fine, upstanding man who commands respect from everyone who meets him — quite simply, the man leads through example, quiet competence and a deeply felt servant-leader ethos, not at all unlike a certain Hero in the White House.
For these reasons and many more, I nominate Jack Jett.
Paging Jack Jett: when you were here after church yesterday you left your child behind. He will be waiting for you by the homosexual agenda, next to the underwear aisle in Nordstom.
One thing I know for sure about Jack E. Jett is that he KLUV’s his evangelicals, George Bush, the numbers 9 11, Dick Armey, Dick Cheney, Dick Smothers, Dick Martin, Dick Nixon and many other Dick’s that tend to lean towards the right.
He shared the CPAC Award for promoting the right wing agenda with Matt Sanchez in 2006.
One thing I know for a fact is that Jack E. Jett would NEVER leave his bible in his pick up truck.
I don’t care who you are or what your job is. Number one rule of holiday shopping: Don’t leave anything valuable in your car.
Actually — and maybe I shouldn’t “tell a story” on him — oh heck, here goes — one time Jack Jett DID leave his Bible (his well-thumbed and much-beloved volume is in one of those translations for 11-year-olds and hillbillies)in his pickup truck — wedged between the gun-rack and the I [Heart] Heinie sticker on the rear windshield!
You see, he had been catching up on his Leviticus during an especially intractible traffic snarl and would conveniently stick it there every three minutes to crawl forward 20 feet. By the time he got to the Pat Boone concert at Six Flags, he was so excited about the show he forgot his beloved Bible!
There is nothing in This World that Jack Jett reveres more than his Bible, his pickup truck and, as Mr. Slater reminds us, a variety of Dicks.
I can’t stand by silently and let them slander Jack Jett! I don’t care what they do to me, I won’t stand for it! Democrat — pfft!
Oh, yes, and him many, many chidren, as well. So,
1) his many, many children
2) Jesuschristhislordandsavior
3) his Bible
4) his pickup truck
5) a dizzying array of Dicks.
If that ain’t family values, then I was descended from primates.
My wife and I just returned from the Jody Dean Pick up Truck Prayer-athon. Special thanks to Daniel’s wife for bringing the meat loaf. We KLUVed it.
I think the lesson we all learned is that God wants us to carry our Bibles with us and to love thy neigbor but bomb the crap out of those that live far away from us.
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn’t said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin’ drunk.
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song.
I personally hate the guy. I think of all people he deserves it. He uses his power on air to screw around anyway he wants and always get his way. One of the most arrogant guys I have ever seen. To sum it up a real arrogant gossip queen. He’s only nice to the people on the air who kiss his ass endlessly or someone with authority or power that he kisses up to. This guy should have stayed in high school.
