On some cars and truck, they are bolt on. so all you need is a little bit of time and some tools.

 

That was my response, too. But here are the two I've seen:

100 bucks plus for a placebo..... the thieves will just bring bolt cutters. (I even have a set in the garage...... not a thief though.)

 

Car stereos will unbolt, too, but thieves always remove them with a pry bar leaving the dash repair more costly than the stereo replacement. Same for cats, which are removed with cordless cutting tools. Unfortunately, pickup trucks are a favored target because with more room underneath the work goes faster.

I went out one morning to find my tailgate down and the cable on the open hinge side removed from the anchor -- if it weren't for the tailgate padlock over the open hinge I'd instead have found myself without a tailgate.

Hooray for city life. I can hardly wait to get moved back out again in a few weeks.

 

Well, when the bolts are exposed, thief's tend to unbolt them in order to not draw attention to them. There was a huge rash of thief's unbolting cats from cars/trucks around here. There was actually a news report around here where shop owners were interviewed about the high amount of people that were getting those bolts welded on in order to thwart thief's.

 

Blame our justice system for being to easy on criminals.Back in the day,you stole a horse,they hung you.In some countrys you steal something,they cut your hand off.In my yard,you try to steal to something,you get 7.62 in your ***.

 

On that note, I came out to warm up my truck one morning and the rear slide was pried open on my truck. Some ******* stole my amp and sub. So for anyone with a 2nd gen rear slider I would suggest jamming it closed with some wood like I did to avoid them damn thieves easy access.

 

Yea, um, I was given $75 for my blown to hell cat out of my 1997...
