    It’s not permanent like using Loctite Sleeve Retainer or welding the bolts. A dental pic or even a push pin from a bulletin board can clean the silicone out in a few minutes if you know it’s there.
    I just bank on thieves not noticing the silicone or the center pin, getting frustrated or flustered trying to use their tools, then hopefully giving up and moving on....

    I'm .... guessing that some of us don't have to?
    I leave all the keys in the ignition of all my rigs where I live and haven't locked a single door on the house in 20 years..
    I'm not even really sure where my house keys are. But I do have a Rem 870 by the bed, just in case ... :thumbsup:

    Some of us dont live in the sticks. Of course about once every 3 months the thieves go on a GTA spree and 75% of the vehicles are reported stolen when the owner left the key in the vehicle. Im absolutely amazed how many stolen key reports we get because they left the key in the cupholder, or in their purse in the passenger seat.

    One of the few times where I've been 'blessed' along with hitting a 'Life Lotto' ... My wife says I should be a lot more appreciative, but I don't always listen ... Especially when I'm out at 5 AM plowing snow, so she can get to work.
    There's a price for everything it seems.

    Not all of Cali is ghetto. I live in the city and don’t take any extra precautions. That said I do keep the doors on my house and cars locked and I don’t leave tools or gear out in my trucks. The only time I’ve sliced my tags with a Razor is when I was in College as theft was rampant there.

    When I moved into my neighborhood I made a point of getting to know all my immediate neighbors and all the dog walkers. Those people see everything and seem to know everything which goes on in the neighborhood.

    I get to leave keys in my rigs ... You get awesome Mexican food, or awesome TX. style BBQ brisket which I haven't had either in 20 years+ ... Ying & Yang I guess ... LOL!

    No shit there I was, driving East on the I-10 just West of Palm Desert. A Mitsubishi Evo, type of car, weaving in and out of traffic doing 100mph plus. I knew the car was stolen. The car had a Texas Truck license plate on it. I guess Ya don't got to be a genius to steal an automobile.

    I did this when I lived in California also, after having my stickers stolen. Also, make sure to remove the previous stickers and don’t stack them. So much easier to peel off a stack of 5 stickers than 1 cut up sticker on directly on the plate.
