Pody,
Welcome to the FTE, You sure didn't sugar coat your first post
. I agree, that's why my truck is protected by Smith & Wesson.
That is one thing I believe that the middle eastern country's do correctly, cut off the thieve's hands. Sure sends a statement!

title of thread- Anti theft device- I guess that means gun, or big *** gun. Seriously, if some idiot is jackin your truck, who has the bigger gun? I spent 6 week's in Texas on a training course , My instructors 1st words. "this is Texas, a concealed state. That means his gun is bigger than yours." holy crap, being from Canada, that meant something. Anyhow, my truck is insured, I will trust the factory system, & if its defeated, I'll bitch alot, & get on with it. .

Thanks, I use to be a Chevy fan, but since they went out of business, I converted to a Ford. I will NEVER purchase a Govermental Motors (GM) vehicle. I now drive a 2011 Lariot FX4 6.7 Diesel with 6" Pro Comp Supension lift with 37" Nitto Tires and it is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Found a lot of useful information on this site and look forward putting my 2 cents in where I can. Thanks again for the friendly welcome.

BTW, I was actually reading this trend to find what Anti-Theft system others were using and what they thought about them. I am is the process of purchasing one myself. One that actually works and still have the auto start capability. Preventing thefts will also prevent insurance hikes. But I seriously want GPS trackability from my phone in real time.

You would think someone would have a system out there that works off a shock sensor that would send you a text message/call to your cell phone (who nowdays don't carry a cell) notifying you that your vehicle is being violated. Then you could hurry out to your truck and shoot the punks, since everyone should have a CHL and this would prevent it from happening to someone else. If they did get away, this same system allowed you to track you vehicle through a GPS signal, (again from your smart phone) so you could follow them and then shoot them. I HATE THIEVES!!!!!!

Check out what the high-end car owners employ in Johannesburg South Africa for anti-theft....50k volts to the door handle, on board propane for a flame thrower from beneath. These cats don't mess around.

The tracking piece can't be far off, if someone nabs my iPhone I can track it to within 3' using the built-in GPS chip in reverse...pretty slick, these rigs are a lot logger than 3' ha!

The service is through Apple and their "enterprise"/cloud service, MobileMe. You can enable the feature in the settings menu on your device, then download the free app to another iPhone and track on the go, or search from your computer via the MobileMe web portal. It works exceptionally well. I've used it a few times to find my wifes phone sitting on a server station at the capital grille after she left it on the table when we left ha ha!

Ravelco Anti Theft System
I just had my 4th Ravelco installed. This is my 2nd 2015 F-250. The first one I purchased, I was told by the dealer that I no longer needed a Ravelco or any other protection. Bull S***! They stole my first truck in 3 weeks. Last night they tried to steal my new one but like before the Ravelco saved it. Make sure you have them put the windows stickers on. I had my new truck's windows tinted and the Ravelco stickers were removed. I was told by a police officer that the thieves know Ravelco and will not bother a vehicle with the stickers on. I wonder if next time I can just purchase the stickers! Ha Ha
