#10 Most Stolen Vehicle

Wow i didnt realize it but the Ford F-150 is the number 10 most stolen vehicle, that includes all the f-150's (harley, Lightning...etc). Saw this at this website: http://autos.msn.com/advice/windowsh...=2891&src=News

You got to factor in the number of F150 units in service though. The ratio of vehicles/stolen is lower than many others IMO.

Mine's sitting in the driveway now with the alarm and Club on it. I can at least hope to slow a theirf down till I can get my auto gate and park it in my secured backyard at night.

well its also one of the most sold vehicles period. i think it wasnt until last year or the year before it was the most sold vehicle period. Makes it slightly more prone to being broken into when its every other vehicle on the street. Plus its not that hard with our trucks.

I leave the keys in mine at night. I hope whoever has the privledge of stealing enjoys it as much as I do. Before you all go beheading me, I live miles out in the country and only see about 2 cars a day come down my road. The mail man, and my neighbor.

They never list the YEARS on that general list. I doubt there are tons of PATS thefts.

Look at the year list below it, even with the camrys...notice is all early 90's?

Wonder what the year breakdown is on that ranking, and if the PATSystem has lowered the incidence for the later models.

I keep mine in my garage, which is attached, hence part of my home, which ipso facto means I can legally blow away any **** who has broken in to steal it under the laws of the great state of Florida. Just have to make sure I fire across the L so I don't get any yucky stuff on the seats.
