Reverse Cameras Getting Stolen

My dad and I were at home depot yesterday getting some stuff and an interesting story came out of it. My dad left the store before I did ( I was checking out) and when I walked outside I see my dad standing over 2 messicans that are passed out and he is pointing his XDM40 at them. I was like WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING. Appearantly when he walked outside he saw the two mexican guys behind his truck. He didnt know what they were doing so he walked around the backside and saw that they were trying to steal his reverse camera in the ford logo on his tailgate (he has an 09 platinum). So he walked up behind them and grabbed them both by the necks and put them to sleep by squeezing the pressure points in their necks. As they were passed out he grabbed his pistol and waited for them to wake up while the cops came. Lol. The two guys didnt know what the heck was going on, lol.

Appearantly the reverse cameras are really getting stolen around here, cops said they have had 15 reports in the past week. you just have to brake the logo off, and then can unscrew it from the bed. After that we just went to the dealership and had to buy a new emblem for it ($18).

Had mine stolen a couple of weeks ago. But by a couple of white teenagers at a Wal-Mart parking lot. Mine was installed in the bumper, right next to the plate. All they had to do, was unscrew and disconnect. No damage to truck. It was caught on survalance. Have not found them yet.

Lol he was special forces. I was like WTF did you do to them. I thought he had shot them already. They had to call an ambulance for one. He took longer to wake up than normal.

Yeah. Ive been giving my dad a hard time because he just got a viper alarm installed 2 days before. I asked him if it prevented it? He threatened to put me on the ground too so I decided to let it go, haha.
