Yesterday morning at my work parking lot around 9:45 am two Hispanic's in a 03'-07' Black Chevy single cab short bed with SS badges and paper plates almost got my baby. I heard my alarm in my office, didn't take it as a big deal. Started walking to where the truck was parked and heard the motor fire up. I was like wtf in my head. Started running over to were I can see the hood open. Guy in the truck spots me running over and gets in there getaway truck wile I am literary trying to kick the getaway truck. If I was seconds later my truck would have been gone. They broke in with a screwdriver. Looks like the hit the key cylinder out, broke my ignition, got past my viper alarm and had some sort of relay under the hood. I would take a pic but the cops took it with them after I filed a report. These guys were good. Alarm was not activated longer then a minute. Anyone got any tips on helping stop this? I was thinking a hood lock would be a good start. Our handles where the lock cylinder is is made of plastic, weak! This is the third attempt in the last three years on my truck. All three times I was lucky enough to hear my alarm and scare them off.

you need a shotgun loaded with buckshot..... just saying. Louisana has some good laws i think..


Only way around it that i see is putting a cutoff switch on your fuel pump..
gotta be back there in the rear on top of the tank or right under the cab where the wire loom goes in the frame.

I have Jimmi Jammers on my front door handles, but I know that doesn't prevent them from busting the window. Might consider doing a fuel pump cut-off switch, that's a great idea (to be added to my ever growing truck to do list)

dont do it under the hood tho.. the grey wire goes in the loom in the frame rail. its easy to find.. i believe its the only grey in there.

Bastards . Hope they die. Sorry bout your luck .

Damn in broad daylight ????

Maybe get a car cover that looks like a ford or a dodge so no one will steal it ? Lol

I think a fuel pump cutoff is def the way to go .

I've got a good idea for mine that will be installed before she leaves the garage .

I was furious when mine was broken into. I can only imagine 3 times.

All the alarms and fuel pump stuff is good, but around here they just use a tow truck and then gut the thing until it looks like a carcass.

That is the worst feeling in the world some one stole my sound system once they tryed starting it but a kill switch stopped that...... that feeling sucks they broke my ignition and everything

kill switch on the ignition switch and a very well hidden toggle. i would unplug the main harness from the coil packs anytime i had my truck in an uncomfortable place. not very convenient but would keep them from getting it without a wrecker.
