There's a work around for everything. I assure you that it can be stolen, even if I don't know how.

I know how, give me 5 mins with the right tools and I'll have your truck. I think the PATS system is a good idea, it just needs a lil work.

There isn't a safe made, a security system designed, or a procedure written that can't be cracked...what one man can invent, another can circumvent if the reward justifies the effort.

Work around

OK maybe I'm not that good.....took me about 10 minutes.....my son used my truck to go to town and take his girl out, he called after the movie and said he'd lost the keys, I drove 45 minutes to town and an hour after I left the house he was on his way taking his gal home.....lesson learned, check the gals purse for keys, and it's not hard to bypass every switch on the truck. Just for the record this was a 01 S-crew...The steering lock was probably the second easiest.
