    Too many to list now.
    Check into the viper smart start. Lojack and autostart in one. Think it can act as a killswitch as well

    My question is, how did he get it started and drive it away? Aren't these trucks equipped with a factory immobilizer that requires a key with a specific resitance to allow it to start? Let alone turn the tumbler to unlock the steering???? I wonder if the person you purchased it fron was in on it.....

    Yes that's what I am thinking. Sorry someone to take your title means they were in process of a vehicle transfers and you may have left keys in truck or you bought truck without a spare key and someone waited for to take your truck

    Gotta wonder why they took paperwork out of all the stuff to take? I would be
    checking my credit report regularly.

    Also get an alarm now that you got it back, they have em with bps's too. I know where mines at 24/7.

    Glad to hear your good news. Prosecute to the full extent. Those sob's walk away from shit like that with a slap on the wrist sometimes. Here in the commonwealth of Va. some people don't want hassle of prosecuting and fuckers walk unless commonwealth attorney thinks it's worth picking up. Also you might want to play the lottery!!
