I just love the big city

Hi every one.
Yesterday I drove into the big city [Phoenix] did some shopping and then parked my 13 dc trd or at a local restaurant for lunch. When I came back to the truck the camper shell was open and the tail gate was open and laying down on the bumper both support cables were disconnected.
I'm thinking the thieves were after my tail gate which I had secured with a 49cent hose clamp which I'm sure saved the day.
called the police but since there was no loss or damage just took a report over the phone.
Living out in the country I seldom lock anything but nothing else in the truck was bothered. It is only because I was bored and read a thread on TW that the hose clamp was installed so thank you TW and give my love to the big city.

 

to hear someone went into your truck but...
for the tailgate mod!

I'll just leave this here for reference:

I dislike cities. Especially large ones. For this reason among a long list of others.

I hope your tailgate suffered no damage.
