Hey forum members, this is a FORD RAPTOR FORUM! This one is specifically on how thieves can break into your raptor and possible solutions to this problem. Please google "firearm forums" or "political debate forums" and join those if you want to discuss firearm ownership responsibility. Is there no administrators on these forum who will put an end to these run off threads!!! Maybe they are like the gods and enjoy watching the chaos!

This is the Wild West my man...



For the OP, I am just curious has this incident left you feeling the need for a console safe or some other kind of firearm securing device?

I sympathize with you for the violation of your property, your nonchalant attitude about the gun is ****** though.

I agree w matman and the intent of thughunter. It's irresponsible not securing your weapon(s).

I don't have a nonchalant attitude about it. The guns were secured in a locked vehicle. I know everyone is on their pedi stools right now and wouldn't admit it, but I'm sure some of you have done the same thing in the past.

Yes, I am going to buy a console vault.

The reason I posted here was to warn everyone about how easy it is to break into this truck, and to be careful what is stored unsecured. Yes, I screwed up, I know, hopefully this helps somebody in the future. I know the responses here will detour others from posting. Good luck with this ****** design everyone.

Finally I hear you acknowledging your mistake. The thing that pissed me off was your laptop vs. gun attitude. As far as my professionalism is concerned, that's between my citizen contacts and my chain of command. Just so you know, any vehicle is easy to break into. All you have to do is break the window.

Here's an article that shows why I have the strong feelings I do about this issue. Read the article and tell me how you'd feel if that was your gun used in that murder. San Antonio police officer shot in the head dies - CBS News

You sound like a good candidate for incarceration, and frankly, your attitude displayed here shows pretty much everyone you have no business being in law enforcement. Where exactly do you work, so we can point your leadership to this scintillating little tirade?

You don’t get to decide who gets to own guns, carry guns or whether their otherwise legal conduct, while being victimized by a crime, should land someone in jail. You have a serious temper problem on display here.

Step off (of the internet) for a while, and reevaluate your life priorities.

Yeah, we know there’s an unsecured gun on the street now, but you’re no more likely to encounter it than some elderly woman in an Austin, Tx. home.

now, let’s recap, shall we? OP had his Gl*ck in a --LOCKED-- F150. Not sitting out in the open, locked and out of view. It was stolen in a ... larceny. Forcibly.

you said you’ve never been told to look for another profession.

Based on your comments here, I shall oblige. Look for another profession.

Going to have to agree with Smurf on this one. Public perception of LE is in the *******, no thanks to the previous administration as that notion is a top down driven narrative.

You can give your advice but don't badger a man for locking a weapon in his vehicle while he was eating. That is YOUR opinion, and his right. That right is guaranteed by the constitution. I have the distinct pleasure of working with LE every single day at mostly the federal level and I have never heard once that sort of talk, and our rules are much more lax.

You can post all the cop killing articles you want but that doesn't change the fact YOU signed up for that job just like I did and putting yourself in harms way is part of it. There is enough bad perception of LE with social media to last a lifetime. No need to get worked up and add to it.

Back to the subject at hand: nearly 70 replies into it and no one has mentioned Sync3 and the Ford App will send a push notification to your phone that your alarm has been Triggered. If you are in a restaurant or at work, that lets you know someone is ******* with your truck and gives you a chance to see who it is.

Now that post was useful.

I for one never did think you had a nonchalant attitude about it so there's that. Your truck was secured. I understood that you were making a point that your laptop was much more expensive. And you were glad that it wasn't taken.

I also appreciate your post to warn others about how easy two trucks are to get into.

Thieves are scumbags, period. The police need to lock them up. Instead of following their liberal Commander's orders to let crime go unpunished (I guess nowadays it's okay to break windows and loot in front of the police as long as you're a liberal. Or destroy evidence as long as you're a liberal)

But people who complain about the Second Amendment are those from liberal states like Oregon and California who allow their elected Nutjob leaders to run their state; and if they want to complain they can start by voting the bums out.

That being said as I said earlier, my recommendation is get a "Locker down" console safe... it's awesome.

I never leave home without it if you know what I mean��

PS. I like it here in the wild west LOL

We were notified by the ford app. It came after the restaurant made an overhead page about my truck. It WILL notify you, but the thieves will probably be long gone.
