Lock your doors & set your alarms... your vehicle is "wanted."

Doesn't look like anyone wants to steal European vehicles so I'm safe!

Not sure if I should be happy or sad that no one wants to steal my Dodge Ram. LOL

Those stats don't mean much when your truck is gone!

So far the transmission is holding on, everything else is falling apart or breaking though. :(

That's funny!

If you want a car that's theft proof then get a Yugo. (If you can still find any) You can even leave the keys in the ignition and no one will take it.

Back about 4 or 5 years ago thieves had a fetish for F150 Ford tailgates  and I had a bunch of bass fishing buddies come in from night fishing to find their tail gates taken. Nothing else was touched. Just tailgates. Another time a large company up in east Tennessee got video of a black Chevy Suburban towing a dual axle trailer and that night when workers left work about 20 of them had F 150 gates were gone. They know the trailer was full of tail gates but no one could get and ID of the truck.

 

 

Back before that it was catalytic converters and they were not selective on those at all. That was happening state wide at every lake at every boat ramp and all that ended on night at Percy Priest lake at the launch ramp at Long Hunter State Park. Police were called to the launch ramp because there was 3 bodies there. 1 guy dead sitting behind the steering wheel  of a black van, one laying in the middle of the parking lot with two converters beside him and one guy under a pick up with a rechargeable sawsall and a converter half cut off. All 3 where shot twice.

 

 

They were found when a tournament came in at Midnight to weigh in the fish. Police said they needed a list of all the anglers in the tournament. All teams were accounted for and all still there. Many of them needed police reports for the insurance companies to get their trucks repaired. The police ask if they saw anyone else there that night when they arrived and the tournament director said their was water on the ramp that showed a boat trailer had loaded a boat sometime earlier but it was not a tournament boat because they were all there.

 

No one wanted to talk about it but no one was mad because it happened. That was almost 10 years ago now and the crime is still unsolved and the three men killed were from Russellville, KY according to the van ownership and Identifications. All I can say is the person that caught these bad guys is one hard cold person that must have freon flowing in his or her veins...................jmho

My truck is old! :D

Dang I believe my truck was virtually identical to yours. So mines old too.

Tailgates are still popular. Once when I was a kid me and dad came in off the lake and some bag of d!cks had stolen our truck battery. Fact is there's always someone that don't mind taking your stuff. Don't matter what brand it is or age or whatever. There's just a lot of thieves.

I honestly believe that some people cannot help them selves. I think they call them compulsive because stealing is like an addiction. Doesn't matter what it is they take, as long as they get their fix they are happy................. :ugh: :ugh:

I heard that Chevrolet is introducing a new heated tailgate option.


So when you are pushing it your hands don't get cold...



Sorry. I had to throw in that old one.

It helps out when your pushing it off after wearing your battery out trying unsuccessfully to help your neighbors jump off their dead ford's everyday.

I had to, you left the door open for that comeback lol.

I am sure my

2k10 Silveado will be safe....

And even if they would steal it.. more power to ya..I am wanting a different one anyway:)

[LagerHead]

Well my Toyota's safe, I guess. Apparently people only steal trucks they are going to need to fix soon. :lol:
