    Really? It had the stereo when I looked inside. I just hope the owner gets it back safe and sound. Is the owner on here?

    unless he left it unlocked... a neighbor on my block had his Tacoma jacked from his driveway when he forgot to arm the alarm one night... admittedly, i once forgot to lock up my truck at home one night...

    I keep my truck configured as such that if someone were to try to steal it, they'ed end up with the drive train mangled and ripped off the truck 10 feet from my drive way.

    If any thief can get through my Viper, I'd be impressed. If any thief can beat my truck's LoJack, then I'd be more impressed. If any thief can then bust open the locked gas cap and pour more gas in after they run out, then they deserve the truck.

    Anything is easy to get thru...an alarm is just to hold them off a bit not 100% full proof stop.
    Like the immobilizer...

    I agree, but when there's so many defenses to get through the chances of being stolen and parted out are very slim. I immediately get notified if even the warning on my truck goes off. If they get through that, they have to be able to drive it where they need to go, hence one of the reasons for the gas cap. By then, the cops should already be on their tail! I'd hope.... Who am I kidding? Murphy's Law over-rules all. lol
