Anti Theft

Hello,

I have a 2008 Ford Super Duty and would like to know Is there any one who knows of something possibly that would fit behind the door handles to prevent (let's just say "A" Holes) from breaking and entering? I've had the truck 2 months and it has been broke into twice. At about $500 a trip to the repair shop is getting costly. I live in Houston where the trucks are highly sought after for theft. Is it just that Ford's made the truck easy to break into???

I also wired a blinking LED into my dash.

Hope it helps,

Brad

jimmy jammers wont help, they just would use a large screwdriver and force twist the lock cylinder. i suggest a layered syatem.

1. ravelco absolutely a must
2. gps tracking
3. an alarm with a very loud siren, or a keychain which pages you when the alarm goes off, and you better be packing heavy.

texas has the highest theft rate anywhere in the country for superdutys. they are used for smuggling aliens and drugs into the country through the rough terrain. you absolutely positively without a doubt must have a layered system for protection. anything less and you are just another crime statistic.
