Appreciate the inputs. Getting a LoJack installed would probably cost more than the truck is worth.

Put a man in a chair with a case of beer and a box of shotgun shells in the parking lot while you work, if he sees the screwballs tell him he has permission to fill them with as much lead as he can. That will for sure keep from coming back to that parking lot to steal again and maybe even stop them from hitting other places and stealing their cars/trucks/ride home for good. I'd be up managements butt to get a guy out there to at least watch and call them in while people work to put an end to it if it really is a recurring event.

Out there over the mountain is a greenhouse farm with a fence surrounding it 8ft tall razor wire at the top. You have to pass by security on the way out. They grow tomatoes. Judging by the security it would seem like they're doing something else but they won't let me in to see

Get yourself a job there if you don't want your truck stolen

I suspect what they're growing may have medicinal purposes....

But then again the sign says tomatoes

You should know that Brad is just one of those guys who don't care what others think of him for the most part, so it means nothing to keep calling him out and derailing this thread. Honestly even if he can be a downer sometimes he gives it to you straight and won't feed you a line of crap, that much alone makes me wish i could get him a beer or two and chill out with the guy.

A stolen vehicle will happen anywhere, you can break into these trucks in twenty seconds through the no- draft window. If someone wants it, they will get it.

Sounds like a sophisticated operation and they are probably only targeting the expensive cars. I agree with Brad's statement! When I look around parking lots, mine is the beater there... No worries about it being stolen!!
