Truck got broken into.....
My brother and my truck got broken in to today... What is it about these F250's??? Is it just that easy to break in?
They took my Navi DVD, and a handgun. They broke my dash bezel and door handle on the way in.... Freaking pi$$ed!!!
Entered my brothers truck the same way, took his stereo and STC tuner among a few other things...

Yeah, what sux is our insurance co doesn't cover aftermarket stereos, and the handgun is covered under homeowners insurance which has a $1000 ded... 
Everything else is less than auto ded.

I'll go ahead and say it before others do. Why'd you leave your carry piece in your truck? Also the stereo sucks brother, that is one thing thats so annoying. There is only so much you can do to protect your truck short of putting in bulletproof glass and upgraded doors, the thief will get in.
So I will provide you with some ways forward so maybe you can prevent this next time. Look at jimmi jammers, basically just taking the rod out of your doors, so the only way to get in is with your remote. It's dumb man, I just don't leave stuff out in my truck, obviously you couldn't have prevented it with your stereo. Sorry for the loss, let us know what you do and how you come out.

Thanks guys! The fact is my employer will not allow us to carry in the building so it has to stay in the vehicle. My bad for leaving it where it was handy to get to... 
Below are some pics. We have video surveillance of the Astro Van, but the license plate is unclear. Hopefully the police has some technology to help with that....

Wow! Atleast report the weapon stolen to the police and start checking craigslist and all the pawnshops. Man does that **** me off. I would take it up with your employer to try and allow concealed carry and ask him to look at what happened and how are you supposed to feel safe when your own vehicle gets broken into. I also would ask the employer to cover some of it because it happened on their property. My thoughts. Bit of a stretch, but worth a try.

They left the screw driver in my brothers truck... I was thinking he at least got something out of the deal, but the officer took it for evidence..

I know this doesn't matter, but what kind of gun was it? Glock? So on my truck the only handle that has a lock cylinder is the drivers and I am looking at replacing that with a door handle like the rear door. Is your INS gonna cover the damage to the truck? Looks like he was trying to steal the truck. Might I suggest Ravelco? 4 million sold and not one truck stolen.

No at the end of the day the Insurance Co doesn't cover aftermarket stereos and the gun would be covered under home owners insurance which has a $1000 ded. So I get to eat it all.....
But my contact at Ford is able to score me a bezel from a dealer in Fl for half price because its been on the shelf for a long time. That's about the extent of the upside....

Invest in a good alarm system, jimmi jammers and possibly a safe for your future weapon. Good luck on your hunt for that evil perp...
