Preventing your Ranger from being Stolen

[Scooter]

I saw this Ford F150 theft. Right out his front door.

They cut the horn wire. I guess when you mount the horns on the Rad support you can access the horn wiring.

They reprogramed the truck to start. What I have heard you do is put a cover lock on the communication repair port. Does this stop them.

I see Ford has an enhanced Security system. Is this worth purchasing.

What are the best way off stopping your truck from being stolen.

Ok seriously if you’re really concerned you could get a Revelco Anti-Theft Device. I’ve never had one but hear they’re one of the best out there and impossible to circumvent. There’s never been a vehicle stolen using this system in over 40 years. They’re not cheap but neither are our vehicles today.

I got TAG for the truck.

Not so interested in the screaming alarm. More interested in immobilizing the truck.

Not gonna lie, I too would track down my truck after cops told me not too. Gotta take matters into your own hands lol. A few suggestions to help with anti-theft... parking in a garage, a dog (they might bark and alert you to intruders), motion lights around your truck, an apple tag in your vehicle, and finally... get some seriously loud speakers with lots of bass, crank the volume all the way when you get out and turn the radio on. If someone hotwires your truck to turn it on, the volume will play and the entire neighborhood will notice. Only you would know to turn the volume down before starting.

Maybe a wheel lock?

Ravelco looks like the way to go.

Maybe a simple psych out. Put a sticker of Ravelco, TAG systems are implemented on vehicle, then the thieves go to the next car.
