Well I am sick. Last night my 2005 F250 KR was broken into for the 3rd time this year.
The first time was at hobbie lobby my wife parked went inside and was paged with the tag # to the front of the store two ladys seen the punk braking into the driverside door. Long story shot he did get a leather bag out of the console that I keep some junk in .
The second time was at Redlobster parked in front. They did not get anything just tore the driver side door handle up again . Well the first one cost me about 300.00 to get fixed just the driver side . They shove a flat head screw driver in the key hole and pry down this ripps the door handle away from the door then they open the door the factory alarm goes off so this is why they dont ever get much.
When I had the door handle fixed the second time I had the dealer change both front door handles with the rear type that have no key hole and it cost me about 460.00 . Bad idea this time with no key hole they messed up the door paint body work ext.. My truck has a stock radio what are they looking for? I am starting to believe my Kr has a target on it ..
This one will have to be clamed on my insurance.. what I would give to catch the punk in the act! I will be looking into a better alarm or at least one with a led that blinks maybe 3 or 4 leds .. Sad when you cant even go out to eat .. Last night it was in the Texas road house parking lot

Ranch - sorry to hear about the break-in.

A friend of mine has a 2008 Expedition that's been broken into twice. During the second repair the dealer recommended he look into these: http://www.jimmijammer.com/JJ%20description,%20113400%20and%20450.htm

They make one for the F250:

if it makes you feel any better(which i know it wont) i got my dream truck(05 150 KR) a few weeks ago, and that very same night it got keyed in my parking lot. I too would loved to have caught the punk in the act. You just cant have anything nice these days without someone screwing it up.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. My roommate has a codealarms system that has an led on the keychain and tells him when something goes off, also has remote start and the alarm is really LOUD

That would probably cause an underwear change!

I put the JimiJammer plates in at all points. The four doors, the hood and the tailgate. It took about an afternoon to do everything but the hood, and I did the hood just recently. I guess they help. At least they make it harder to get in.

Wish there was a way to electrify your vehicle to deliver a semi-lethal shock without any danger of getting "bit" yourself (if you forgot to disarm it).
