An interesting article on Yahoo concerning tailgate theft. Pickup truck tailgates: easy to steal, thefts on the rise - Yahoo! Autos

 

Learned that the hard way on my last truck. Thieves sold the gate on my 2000 Super Duty back in 03 sometime. It's vastly under reported. I filed a police report but not an insurance claim, a like new used gate was found for less than my deductible.
