I've had 3 cars... all of which are on that list. None of them have ever been broken into and all of them were more prone to being stolen than a stock form car/truck.... (knock on wood.)

i have the worst luck ive had 5 trucks in the past 5 years and 4/5 have been broken into

my first truck=1 break in
my second truck=5 break ins
my third truck=1 break in
my fourth truck=1 break in

ive only had this truck for 4 months and im just waiting for the day i come out to a broken window or a lock cylinder hangin out none of them have tried stealing my truck yet^^knock on wood^^

if anyone has a car stolen in houston my dad owns a business called turn key column repair. he repairs steering columns on stolen cars, or loose columns due to wear. anything to do with a steering column basically, airbags and all. he also builds custom columns for whoever needs them. his last custom column was for the texas crunch monster truck that you see on tv.

im suprised that dodge isnt on the list! they're the easiest to steal and my dad probably fixes the new dodges more than anything else. theivs seem to love those 20's because they're always layin on the ground

well....doesn't that say something about the factory security systems of those vehicles ??
cant really say that. if they want it they will get it. my dad thinks alarms are a joke. they only stop your petty theif from getting it started. i keep alarms on all of my trucks, but they dont seem to help much

Actually i think it says more about which vehicle you think you have a better chance at getting away in!!!!! A ford would never out run a chevy truck,on or off road!!
