My tailgate was stolen!

[LEGORAPTOR]

SO I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, GET INTO MY TRUCK AND HEAD TO THE GYM. I ALWAYS PARK MY TRUCK FACING FORWARD SO WHEN I SHIFTED TO REVERSE I NOTICED MY SCREEN WAS ALL BLACK, I THOUGHT "WTF, THE TAILGATE MUST BE DOWN OR THERE SOMETHING ******** WITH THE CAMERA. SO I FINISH PARKING, GET OFF AND AS I WALK BEHING MY TRUCK I SEE THAT THE TAILGATE WAS REMOVED. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ***********!!!" AFTER THAT I PARKED BACK INFRONT OF MY HOUSE, CALLED THE COPS, THEY DID THE REPORT, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICKO), I WILL PAY A $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR IT. I JUST GOT BACK FROM FORD TO HAVE AN INVOICE MADE TO SHOW THE ADJUSTER HOW MUCH $$$ I SHOULD GET FOR THE TAILGATE. TURNS OUT IT COSTS $4,400.94. DAMN, NO WONDER THAT ************ TOOK MY SHIT. OH WELL, I WILL BE DRIVING AROUND FOR ATLEAST A WEEK WITHOUT A TAILGATE. ******* HATERZ

ya that little lock goes a long way, but damn thats f-cked up, I would be looking everywhere for it, we had a guy around here stealin tailgates and when they busted him he had like 40+ of them, it was insane seeing them all lined up.

def keep an eye out on craigslist and the such for it, im scanning it now for most of southern texas

Wow! I had someone warn me about that happening but I just thought they were being paranoid.

Wow. I've got the bakflip on mine and it's usually locked. But, if they are willing to steal the gate, then they will have no problem popping the bakflip and probably taking it too. MFers.

Yea guys, make sure you all lock them tailgates. Thiefs are after them.

$4.4K for the tailgate! Damn! Screw replacing it, just get WSI's chase rack or rear bumper/tire carrier setup then get a factory reverse camera to mount somewhere and use the other $$ on other mods. it's a win-win that way.
