Exactly what I was just thinking! Is it so hard to have wheel locks put on. I'm sure you can find a place to hide the key inside the vehicle if needed.

You of all people should know how ineffective a wheel lock is. You can buy keys and tools to get them off all over the place. Hell it took me all of 5 min to get the locks off my Impala when I lost the key using an old deep socket.

I guess I am the only person that actually uses the garage to park the cars in it. Makes it more difficult to steel wheels if the car is inside the garage....

And you guys need to move out of the ghetto.

If the criminals get past the yard guards then the shotguns and carbines come into play.

Yeah, normally I would not fire a weapon in my yard/etc. However, I'm talking in a normal housing development like I live in. In a situation like yours - trespassing = getting shot at. With fence, gates and locks that equal real trouble to me if they bypass all that. In development, generally the driveways are wide open and easy targets.

and then 'Speedy the Pig' came around the house at full charge.... well, meter reader boy decided it was best to jump back over.

LOL! Speedy the Pig...

welcome to the club, here is my tahoe back in November when they hit mine.

We have a chain-link fence around our house, and the three gates into the yard are pad-locked. We also have "No Trespassing", "Beware of Dog" and "Beware of Pig" signs. We have very bright lights that shine, basically covering all vehicles and most of the yard. My wife's favorite killers are the 55 pound Japanese Akita, her 65 pound pitt, and the real star of yard security, her 250 pound pot-bellied pig.
I swear to god, the neighborhood hood-rats live in pants-shitting fear of that pig, since he has long tusks, about 6-8 inches long without trimming, and will make some scary fucking grunts at strangers when they walk buy. Even better than that, is when he hears someone close to the fence, his mowhawk will stand straight up and he'll trot towards the fence.
The funny thing is, he is a big fucking baby, and would probably run if his bluff was called, but I have seen him charge at a swepco meter reader dumbass that jumped the gate one day. Both dogs didn't let him get far past the gate, and then 'Speedy the Pig' came around the house at full charge.... well, meter reader boy decided it was best to jump back over. I had to go out and show him how to look at the meter from the outside of the fence, the meter is about 10 feet away.

Why does a $35k truck have drum brakes? OP, buy some 18" oem replacements so it doesnt happen again. The GM 07+ 20 & 22s are always getting jacked.

My 2010 Silverado 4x4 has rear disc brakes.

every vehicle I buy is worth more than I paid for it... I gladly park them outside

I'm going to steal your dog.

Insure that

That sucks man, too bad you didn't hear them so that you could of put a couple bullets in their ass.

Man that sucks, the whole "can't have nice things" pretty much applies all the time these days. That is a nice looking truck man, setup some surveillance and have your gun ready. That's awesome the cop told you to shoot them, fuck them, go earn an honest living. Though they will probably get what they deserve at some point, more and more people are getting tired of shit.

It always amazes me when something gets stolen and someone will turn around ask ignorant questions like it's your fault.

[Trip McNeely]

I don't miss being in or anywhere around a big city for this very reason.

My money's on someone at the dealer, either followed you home or had access to you address through paper work. Maybe make ready or something, IMO someone from the dealer.
I had my work trailer broke into the 3rd day I was in business at one of my past accounts. Took me a couple weeks to replace the equupment. I knew it was someone from the account, but couldn't prove it.
Went back after I replaced my equipment, some worker was just staring at my gen. and compressor.
That weekend, Sun. night they came to my house and cleaned me out again. Woke up to go to work and had nothing to go to work with. All within a month, I can't stand a thief, so now I don't carry a gen. and I box in the trailer and bought a few 9mm. plus surveilance. I wouldn't think twice if I cought a thief to shoot'em.
