Punks Got Me Again
Well...for the thrid time in four years...three different trucks...three different locations...got broke into again. 
This time they got into the bed tool box an cleaned it out of anything of any use / value.
Funny thing is the tool box doors were still locked and there was no damage to the diamond plate or the box lids. In fact, I had to unlock the box to see what all was stolen. Cops said they either just popped the lock or could have even had a master. The dummies threw about 8 bottle of Power Service in the back of the truck. Lids were on tight though
So the good news is no physical damage to my Beast or the tool box. Just light about $ 500.00 worth of tools and such.
When I get thru with the new locks and latches that I am putting on tonight they will just have to steal the whole ding dang truck next time.
Maybe I can wire an alarm to my toolbox...hmmm cheap..alarm...acouple of door interlocks...eor even maybe my exisiting Ford alarm system.
Me thinks I'll be thinkin' this weekend.

Hjudge49: Actually I have considered a "Hot Box". Problem with that is your legal buddies consider that a BOOBY TRAP. Then I go to the hooscow and get sued by some stupid low life scum suckin' bottom feeder lice infested criminal type person. 
Hmmm...It just struck me that I think I like Booby traps...I remember when I was younger (in a galaxy far, far , away) that I really liked to go booby trapping...It was fun...back in the olden days.
That was B.C. of course (Before Cathy...my Darlin' wife)

You beat me to it Judge !!!
And besides, this is Texas - where a legal murder defense is
"Cuz they NEEDED killin!"
of course, also being a judge, you know how the attorney's would JUMP on that...
just like my Ex neighbor that was fined for cementing an angle Iron in the middle of his fourth mailbox and fifth garbage can that kept getting run over ...
Their illogical logic - "He purposly created a public hazard!!!!!"

Thanks TLW: I am in Rowlett but, the gutless slim bags 
popped the tool box in Dallas. In the parking lot of a little beer drinkng joint I have been known to frequent from time to time.
I was purposely parked as close to the main entrance as I could get. Three parking spaces from the front door.
BTW: I ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS lock my tailgate. Two of my buddies have lost theirs in the last 6 months.

Trunk Monkey was a commercial spoof e-mail, where the driver pushed the trunk open button and a monkey came out weilding a tire iron. I'll try to find the link for it.
Well, your Honour, It was not a booby trap, I had my gun placed in the lock box, cause I was going to church. It must of snagged a string on the box lid when I put it inside. How was I suppose to know it would shoot the thief in the head, when he opened it?
