    My aunt and uncle had their current house built in 2015-2016, and moved into the house in the spring of 2016; I believe went to visit for the first time for Thanksgiving that year. 3rd Gen Tacos weren't as common back then as they are now, because they were still new, and I still to this day do not see a whole hell of a lot of them with the Limited trim. My aunt and uncle's neighbor had a 2016 DCSB Limited, and on this trip I started taking pictures of it with my Nikon SLR, without a second thought. The net thing I knew, their neighbor is opening his window and demanding to know what I'm doing; I forget exactly what I said, but it was something along the lines of "My aunt and uncle live right over there, I drive a Tacoma myself, and I just really like Toyota trucks." He shut the window and left me alone...

    After telling my parents and relatives about this, I got the usual lecture, and was told by my aunt and uncle that there had been a number of car burglaries in the neighborhood... o_O

    Okay, I am not a criminal. If I was interested in breaking into vehicles, I would NOT be taking pictures of the vehicle in broad daylight; I'm pretty sure professional car theft rings would not send a scout into a neighborhood with a conspicuous pro-style camera. Car thieves would probably take pictures, then come back at night. Again... o_O

    This 2025 DCSB Limited appears to be the replacement for the 3rd Gen that led to a confrontation almost a decade ago; I took the picture from a public street, like I always do. There is no law against taking pictures of vehicles, and I will continue to do so. I got stopped by the police for taking pictures in Doylestown more than a decade ago after some old bitch called 911, and I just don't take kindly to being confronted or otherwise harassed for a quite innocent hobby! This picture was taken with my SLR, from my aunt and uncle's driveway. If police and the occasional angry prick of a vehicle owner can't stop me, what will?!?!
