The guys with the powerstrokes would probably laugh at all the trouble we have to go through for something like this. All they'd have to do is hide all the extension cords.

...Now that is a friggin hilarious statement...only 'cause it's true....I just did this little anti theft project tonight. Found on my donor 93 that I had to use a 4" nail, and the bends had to be 2 1/2" apart.

There has been a lot of theft going on in my area. Unfortunately it was never like that, a lot of people from the city have been moving up here. I lock my truck every night but leave the keys in it until I make my rounds and lock everything up, I was watching TV when I heard a diesel cranking over. When I went to the side window I realized someone was stealing my truck. I snuck up to the truck and slammed the door on him. He panic'd and tried to get out the passenger door but it doesn't work (truck was a work in progress at the time ) I called the cops with him sitting in my truck, city cops arrived in less than three minutes.
He was arrested, cops told me it wasn't a wise move because he could have had a gun. I wasn't thinking at the time. My truck didn't start because he didn't know you have to unlock the pull **** by the radio and push it in. I made about $500 from him on his good gracious.
So this is what I learned;
1.) Call the cops before your pursue and know that you're risking your life for a material.
2.) Pull ***** are a good security device and a battery that dies after you get about five good cranks out of it.
3.) Never leave the keys in your vehicle and always lock it.
4.) Put pants on before you pursue a criminal.

Most important!
Back in 81 we had a chimney fire, I had just got home from working the overnight, mom and dad were gone ( dad was fire chief of our volunteer force ), and my sister came screaming into my bedroom saying the house was on fire. Sure enough, I jumped out of bed, told here to call the FD, and grabbed an extinguisher..... Don't really remember how I got on the roof, but I was just finishing evacuating the 10 Lb ABC extinguisher when the first trucks rolled up.
You would think Firemen wouldn't laugh at someone who didn't even realize they only had underwear on and had done their job for them..........

A few years ago, they tried to take both my trucks, punched out two ignitions
but failed to get them started.
They almost had them, little did they realize that the locks were so worn that
any key inserted would have turned the ignition and they could have been on their way without smashing the columns!
