I am with you!! I hate them...police say there are no camera...they took a can that was touched by the thief, say they are going to try to lift prints, lol.

Luckily the truck wasnt damaged...all I had to do was pop the dash back on.

Thieves suck.

Hopefully the insurance will buy you a better radio than what you had. Ford has high prices on their equipment, while the aftermarket is more competitive.

Oh, that is so harsh. Don't you know that the poor soul who did that only resorted to theft because they didn't get enough love as a child and were never taught to value others? They probably grew up poor and neglected, searching for love and acceptance. Now they have to steal just to put food in their little tummies and you want to hurt them. Shame on you.

Jimmi Jammers (follow link)

Vehicle Security and Theft Prevention Devices

These reinforce the door handle, making it harder to slide a screwdriver underneath the handle to gain entry to the truck.

Rock salt? If you're going to shoot, make it count.

My shotgun has 00 buck shot, 9 ***** per shell, but in Wisconsin I can't shoot the thief if they are breaking into my truck, in the driveway. They have to be inside the house before their status changes from thief to target.

What is the law in Washington these days? When I lived there, I remember you could use deadly force to stop a felony. A pawn shop owner in Everett drilled a guy in the back when he picked up a TV and ran out the back door. The police charged him, the DA took him to trail, the judge found him innocent.
