I also live in a small town where it is still safe to run into the grocery store and leave your car running.

Several years ago (circa intro of the '97 F150), I read a review that stated that the F150 tailgate was the single most stolen vehicular item in Texas. Still true? Don't know, but I keep mine locked.

Always leave mine locked, for some reason people love our tailgates.

Since this is my first truck, I had no idea this was even an issue. Looks like it will start getting locked on a regular basis. Thanks for the heads up.

Would one of the MODS Please Lock this Thread!
(or better yet, Delete it)

I'm building a vacation home out of tailgates and it's not even half finished yet.

(at least until I get a roof on the dang thing)
