Not just the F150, but why would you steal ANY of those vehicles?

I don't think they have the PATS system. Or at least the two 1997 XLT F-150's here at work don't.

They are stolen for parts folks, not for their looks or awesome road manners.

All of those cars/trucks are some of the best selling of all time. That means people need cheap parts. Stolen parts are nice and cheap.

No... That's if you'd like to get mugged.

On our way to buy crack I can take you by a restaurant called "Wings Beans and Collared Greens".

Like PATS is some great system.

Ford got it right with the alarm system in the GT500 ... I'm sure the Ford GT has the same alarm system though but I don't know for sure.

Apparently not, at least that's what the bums that stole our Stratus thought. Thank God that ugly gold colored POS was totaled when they found it.

*I shouldn't call it a POS, it really was a great reliable car.
