Of course there is the Ford door handle design that allows a thief to break into your truck with nothing more than a pair of pliers and about 10 seconds. A good thief will leave no marks to indicate the truck has been entered.

When you sell the truck, you dont always give up pass codes. So ford can now reset back to factory for the new owner. IMO, its no different than your key code, A key can be cut with the code as well. Windows can be broken to access the vehicle. tow truck can hook up and take your truck. If there is a will there is a way...
Dont sweat or over think it. I doubt you will find a case that some out outside your circle has entered your vehicle with the factory door code...other wise it would be all over the net

was going to say the exact same thing.. with a little practice a bad guy can be in faster with a pair of channel locks then you can type in the code..
