    Brother's neighbor had their tailgate lifted. I hate that I have to keep my tailgate locked because of guys like this. I know most of us have the hose clamp hack but for this type of thief it probably wouldn't be sufficient.

    Dam that sucks. Look like a white ridgline or white avalanche on 22” 5 spoke chrome wheels. That should stick out

    Hopefully LE would be interested in investigating even though these tailgates are not going to fall into the grand theft category. Yeah, vehicle and wheels definitely stick out.

    I like how culprit has vehicle door open incase s/he needs to get back in for a quick getaway. I wouldnt have thought that far ahead.

    That’s because you haven’t done a lot of stuff like this before.
