How to secure
Just had my small toolbox and everything in the door pouches stolen from my truck. I always keep it locked and there is no sign of breaking in. Any ideas how they got in? More importantly, how do I make my truck more secure? 99 supercab.

Do you have a sliding rear window? Sometimes those get left unlocked. Could be possible you left it unlocked and they locked it after taking your tools. It is also very easy to pick the locks on these clamshell doors with nothing more than a coat hanger.

How easy is it to use a slim Jim on these tucks? Apparently there have been quite a few break ins lately where the guy used one.
We had the rear window open last night for the dog, but I know it clicked closed. This kind of stuff just infuriates me. Who has so little respect for someone?
Until I find a better way to secure stuff in the truck, it's empty of anything of value. Funny, they left my Garth Brooks cassette tapes...

I got hit once and there was no damage just one unlocked door.
This is one way they can do it. I even got in once when keys got
locked in while running and no one around to help.
If I can do it in under 2 minutes. Just think what someone
that has been doing it can do.
