Let me begin by kindly expressing, I am not looking for detailed, abc, how it's actually done answer, maybe a high level theft prevention concepts would be good enough. I suspect this could be a wonderful source for a newbie thief that just wants to hone his or her skills. I certinally hate to be encourage Ford thefts here in this forum.
I noted a few member's vehicles were stolen, one just for a fun ride. I want to thank those members for their posting and there comments. "Stolen just for a ride" I wonder why that thief, did not just drop by a dealer for a free soda and a demo ride?
No stress on anyone, except the poor salesperson that missed their intended sale.
Always leaves me wondering how come you and I have to purchase our trucks? Then there are others that can just drop by anytime, some possibly preferring nights and just pick up a truck, no credit check, no down payment, nor following monthly payments. I know they don't get to pick the options as carefully as you and I can but it still doesn't seem right. I understand extending circumstances, not many. Maybe it should be more like in the old west days of the horse stealing past, some only got caught once.
This bring me to my real question.
What's safe? In my 2018 vehicle it has, push button start, as your Raptors do, they needs the FOB near by to start. Even if the FOB battery goes dead, you still need its FOB nearby to start the truck.
How are they moving these vehicles, at least in the one case, just taking it for a ride, with out a tow truck? Remember I don't need the world to know how to steal a truck without the FOB .
Thanks
