Man that sucks... I hate theives. You cant have anything nice nowadays... Hope you find them!
That is a problem here in NM as well. Local salvage yards are paying good money for tailgates from what i have heard. Stupid theives
Makes you want to rig a grenade to parts of your truck.
Same here, but just took my nav/cd player; Im still bitter and it happened last December. Makes you feel violated, but i carry my lead now.
Ya for sure. I have thought about an alarm better than the factory one for a long time. (ironic I sell home security) however, it wouldn't have helped me. Now I am for sure getting a locking handle and maybe a bed cover of somekind with a lock as well.Quote:

flashbang would do better lol no damage to the truck and gives you enough time to squeeze a few off!!
Damn that sucks! Makes you want to put some bait out and wait in he shadows with the tactical 870 with buckshot
I know how you feel,I had stuff stolen before,it makes you sick. I have a locking bed cover and am thinking about a kill switch of some kind to slow them down a bit if they try to steal the whole truck. Good luck with craigslist.
and i thought this only happened in houston lol!
feel for ya bud!
That sucks bud, someone stole my tailgate and bed covers off the avy, covers were locked and so was the tailgate. Salvage yards don't take just the tailgate in Oklahoma anymore because of that reason, they would buy one, cops would take it because it was stolen. I know because I Called close to 25 yards when I was still there.
Called the dealership for a laugh to see how much a new tailgate was and they quoted a grand without paint. Just the tailgate.
Yeah, people are stealing the 08-10 ford F250-350 tailgates right off the dealerships here. They go for around a grand too. Kinda funny, cause i hate dealerships anyway. Karma could you say i guess.
Wonder why a tailgate on those newer trucks? I honestly don't know why tailgates get robbed so much off any type og truck. Ppl replacing messed up tailgates??
People will steal anything that isn't nailed down. Whether there's a demand for it or not.Quote:

They steal them cause it takes two seconds to, and they fit 99 and up super dutys. And when those tailgates go for a grand at the dealer, so you can get $500 for one you paid nothing for. Quick easy money, and some people have no morals and don't care. Sad.Quote:
