chawkins6789 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I know a few of you live over here not too far from me. Just had a theft last night. It wasnt the truck though. Good thing because I have a ton of cash wrapped up in it. What was taken was my brother's 98 4Runner. Our neighbor had his 98 Silverado stolen last week.

1BAD2K Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Be careful. I bet they've got their eye on your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I park under a motion light. You can't access my cab without turning it on Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I hope the damage from the accident Saturday night makes them want it less Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Maybe the accident was a little blessing in disguise. Nobody wants their truck dinged up but timing on it may help you. Hopefully those kleptos get cuffed and stuffed or leave the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I park under a motion light.

That's too nice a truck to lose. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 A motion light wont stop someone, as everyone knows nobody gets up when they go off, Unless your paranoid. Its just like car alarms, nobody even cares anymore. Like said above, it doesnt take long to grab a vehicle when you know hat your doing.

Muggs Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Dang bro that's not good at all, you may need to sit back in the dark with a shotgun in hand and surprise them punks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Like others have stated. Lights won't do much. I have all sorts of light in my driveway even a motion light. That didn't stop somebody from breaking into our DD's. It only takes a few minutes and they are gone. If I had to leave my truck outside at night. I'd install a switch that had to be turned on for the vehicle to run. Or even a two way alarm system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalltownguy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Deer cameras boys! Put you a Deer/animal camera that snaps their dang picture to just in case they do make off with it! Maybe put it in a hard to reach place and leave the flash on to spook them or turn the flash off so they dont see it and try to bust it to! This, of course, in addition to other security elements.

rickyrick562 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Kill switches do wonders that and maybe a GPS tracker. Mine stays in the driveway at night with 2-3 cars behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovanny Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I need to get a kill switch, and invest in a garage ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I am going to look into a kill switch. And the light wakes my mother up Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
