It was about an undercover car theft fencing sting. Something very disturbing was the huge number of late model RAM pickups that came in!!!! I went on the dateline.msnbc.com website and saw the list of most commonly stolen vehicles. You guessed it. 04 Dodge RAM was number 10. They even made a comment to the thieves in an attempt to lower the offer price (words to the effect), " ... but it's a Dodge. We have so many already." Pretty scary.

I have the Laramie with the mfr anti-theft device that, I'm sure, is all but useless against a pro. What, if anything, are owners of these pickups doing to protect against theft? Kill switches? Lojack?

 

I have a security surveilance camera aimed on the driveway And when I go somewhere most of the time I have a dog in the truck and he doesnt let anybody else get within about 8 feet of the truck before he goes nuts

 

I don't know what to do? I guess you could go with the low jack! I have been broken into 3 times so I know I am pushing my luck. So far they haven't tried to start it but the last time they took my owner book and all my important paperwork!

Just need an alarm system that shocks the crap out of them!!

 

Man I am glad I live in a place where I can just leave the keys in the truck.

 

Yeah it is very nice and safe in your part of the world!!

It was fine around here till we got packed with all the lovely people from Katrina!! Since those guys moved to town crime and all kinds of bad stuff is way way up!

Makes me want to move back to the sticks!!

 

bad babd bad

 

Not much if any theft around my neck of the woods either, but I hear ya! Nothing I hate worse than having someone steal from me. Especially my truck. Wonder why Dodge trucks are stolen so much? Ease of theft? High market value for the used parts? Desire for them in other countries? HHHMMM!

 

I don't know why either? They are super easy to break into!!! first time I got smashed with a tire iron they hit it so hard they bent the door frame now it leaks when it rains hard! the second time was with a rock and the third another tire iron!!

I need my truck to start shooting back!!

 

How do you know they used a tire iron did they leave it in the truck?
Hope you carry a firearm there....maybe change the paint color to flat black- so it isn't so pretty.

 

Somebody needs to build a truck monkey!

 

my 99 they broke into by punching a screwdriver into the doorlocks. i say that plural b/c the 1st one they just shredded the lock so they did the 2nd one and got in. thus, ruining both locks ands denting both doors.

my 05 they just smashed out the driverside rear window......

theres no lower life form than a thief

 

same thing happened to my Jeep. some one busted out a hard top window stole other stuff but they took the owners manual, registration, insurance, and maintenance recipts.

my dad new a guy back in high school that wired a battery of some sort to his door handles. that way some on tried to open the door they get shocked.

 

I have a 75 chevy 4x4 I leave the keys in! No one seems to steal it! hmmmm!

Sandy, OR is the home of the Trunk Monkey!

Lots of CTD's around here, haven't heard of any break ins, although most folks carry guns. Must have something to do with it.

 

A little tasteless........and gone, do not post kinks containing profanity.

 

Me too, my oldest dog does not bark, he waits for you to get close enough to bite if he is in the back of my truck. Otherwise, he is laid back. Kinda like he knows he is suppose to be protecting it. My buddy last week bet me he could get a beer out of my cooler in the truck with Hoss in the back. He learned otherwise quickly.....
