Maybe. Maybe not. I didn't know you knew car thieves minds so well. Maybe you need to use your psychic thief powers to prevent possible future F150 thefts.

Not psychic just common sense. I don't buy this stuff about beefed up locks and door handles being a deterrent.

Common sense should tell you that you never know when you'll be a break-in victim.

Never! The key cylinders on the F-150 are no weaker than any other vehicle. Plus, if they were harder to bypass then people will just break the window.

Couple disturbing and interesting things about that youtube vid.

Disturbing:
1)He only struck vehicles parked on the parameter. So I guess those who parked closest to the theater were the safest. Something to remember when we find those far off parking spaces to save ourselves a few door-dings.
2)He smashed the glass on every auto without even inspecting the contents first to see if anything was even worth his effort. He never even looked in the back seat.
3)He never even glanced at the stereo equipment once he was in the cars.

Interesting:
1)Not one of the vehicles that he targeted had an activated alarm. I imagine that a small blinking light or chirping when he approached would have deterred him.

All those cars and not one alarm Not that an alarm will stop him but multipile alarms going off might get someones attention. That guy needs to be shot. He has no intensions on ever getting a job in his life time. They are probably video taping that with a stolen camera.

Cant believe more people didnt say this. Buy a nice alarm! A truck that will soon have everyones attention is a poor target. Remeber thieves want easy money, quick money not jail time. They go after the easy victims, the ones that have done little to nothing to prevent what he/she is about to do
