Sleep with the shot gun loaded and the lights on.

Replace the alarm horn with some train horns!

I like the idea of removing the fuel relay, or even the ASD relay. Cheap enough, easy enough, and I highly doubt the losers have a bag full of relays with them.

lol, I would be willing to bet that they wouldn't think to bring relays with them, but here is my thinking on how to get around it: Since most of the relays are the same, you can sacrifice another relay for the missing fuel or ASD. Say Horn, parking lamps, trailer lights.. They all interchange. The bad thing is getting into these trucks are super easy. I can pop a lock on one in about 5 seconds. If the truck doesn't have power locks, it will take me about a minute.

I can break into my truck with just a flat screwdriver (Sliding rear window).

Now we are talking about some high end car thieves, and I don't think they will be after a 2 gen. Ram.

Hmm probably not anymore, unless it's an uber nice one.
I was looking at some of the newer trucks, and I am glad I don't have to try to pop locks on them. I know my Mother called me the other day, and asked if I could pop her avie, she had pulled the keys, but left them laying on the console, and locked the doors. There was no way I can get into them, with out taking the glass off of the tracks, and even then you run a major risk of shattering the glass.

Or unless they think it has some seriously nice tools in it, like some one I won't mention the name of. But, Homes' problem sounds like it is losers that want electronics, and most of those vehicles are ricers, and they know how to steal them, because that's what they own.
