Tacoma Front Grille Theft

There have been a lot of cases where the front grilles have been stolen from our vehicles. Even a video has gone viral of a guy pulling it out of a truck. My question: has anybody come up with an idea to secure the front grilles? Maybe securing them with some bars attached to the metal frame behind them or something like that. I'd love to see some ingenuity.

 

Seems like the Asshats doing that would be breaking the clips off the Grilles while stealing them.

 

They are greatly interested in the grille itself, don't care about the frame.

 

Probably the same d-bags who steal tailgates

 

Risk going to jail for a $500 part you can buy for $140 online? Some people...

 

That was what I was talking about, the clips or tabs on the Grille are quite fragile.

 

I was thinking of getting one of those screen grills anyway.

 

Run electrified bare solid core wire at the grab points..

 

Ya right on or some razor wire that'll teach em.

 

That's crazy! But doesn't surprise me

 

Maybe hidden barbwire

 

That's wild. I don't see how you can pull the grille off without breaking the clips, so what would be the point?

 

What was the point of "planking" years ago, or "putt'em in a coffin" there after, how about the "Tide Pod challenge"?

We weren't all created equally. Some people lack mental aptitude and capacity.

 

People don't still plank?

 

I highly doubt this. Where's the viral video? Google search shows nothing.

 

I would think the thefts would stop after they stole the first couple grilles and realized they are totally worthless with broken clips.

 

Never heard of this at all, but wouldnt you need to pop open the hood to remove it? If its removed forcefully itll just crack or break the clips in the back making it useless. Link to video or this is bs

 

Must be fake news

 

For every one of these grilles that are stolen, there has to be another smuck who just ordered a low cost one from someone online. Where’s the market for used non-pro grilles?
