    Go pick up a Bully Tailgate lock (model LH-090). It works perfect, locks and doesn't get in the way. Works way better than my rusted out hose clamp. You can find it HERE. (No, the yellow truck is not mine, but an example of how it goes on).

    About two months ago someone stole my tailgate, and since they are quite expensive i delayed on replacing it... till one day i spotted this Tacoma with mine on there's! (he was too lazy to remove the terrorist hunters licenses sticker i had on mine) I ended up following him for about 5 miles hanging back a ways and noted where he lived. I debated for the next couple of days weather to call the cops or take matters in to my own hands... well i drove past one night and it was parked out side and decided to take it back, sure enough my vin on it! I did the smart thing and removed the sticker and de-badge it so that this guy would not figure it out. Then about 4 days later drove past again and there was his truck with another tailgate on it and it was not a brand new one so i figured that he had stolen that one also. So what did i do??? i took that one also, serves him right! I ended up using that one for target practice in the desert because i did not want to get in trouble for stolen property. Now i know that maybe his original one got taken from him in the first place and i felt sorry for taking that second one, but i felt like i was doing Karma's job plus payback is a bitch!

    Should have called the cops from the begining. That would have served him right. That way the second tailgate would have never been stolen from another person (at least not by that guy). Now might as well just let sleeping dogs lie and hope "actual" karma catches this douche bag.

    I thought long and hard about doing that! also if i knew he would have gone out and stolen another one, i would have called the cops in the first place... and by the time he did have the second one, what could i do? " ummm officer... he stole that" "How do you know that?" "because he stole mine and then i stole it back" ohh well it is all in the past.

    So instead of calling the cops, proving he stole it (would be easy with the VIN) you took it back just so he could steal another one, and to top it all off you shoot the tailgate that was stolen from some poor sap's truck? You really showed him....:rolleyes:
