Angry Truck vandalized again!!!!!

Hello Fellow Rammers,

First they took off my emblems from the doors scratching and denting using a knife or screwdriver, and i was thinking about de-badging them, haha too late.

So i installed a tailgate lock and got wheel locks for the stock 20's.

Now my spare steelie got stolen, WTF!!

So now im not getting fancy rims to go with my lift, i was thinking about those cragar soft eights in a 17x9 with 4" backspacing, 5 of them so i can have a spare, those should fit right, because the ram usually comes with 17's, i have the bighorn with 20's.

Has any one locked there spare in the back of the bed??

I wish my garage was big enough to fit my truck.

That really sucks man. Do you live in the ghetto or something? You could try putting a motion light by it if possible. Im sure you could lock the spare somehow... I just dont see why anyone would steal it except for the tire.

Its not a ghetto, but its slowly turning into one.
I have a light on all night, and its a busy street too.

It was my baby when i bought it, now its just a truck, cant have nothing nice anymore.

Get a security system on it, and maybe security cameras on the house focused on the truck. That always scares me. The worst we had one time was gangs playing around our house, and we had this old Ford that my grandpa gave us. Worn out piece of junk, speedo didn't work, and you had to let it run for several minutes before going anywhere, because there was no guarantee of it running. They were playing some sort of game though, and they hopped in the truck, didn't run off, and there was nothing in it that was worth stealing.
But I would kill someone if they ever vandalized my truck. I love it too much for that to ever happen. It's a shame when you can't buy something that you really want for fear of some wannabe thugs who don't have a job stealing it.

i to say it but it you been hit once and now again.... you ultimately will be a target again. You must take some defensive measures in order for this not happen again. Next time it could be your truck stolen or worse yet your home broken into when your truck is gone.

May I suggest a Mossberg 500 with 00 Buck shot for starter and sleeping in the cab of your truck for a week or two and the bush wack me some lil bastards. Sure its neighboorhood kids

If you are in Texas like me, you don't have to drag them into the house.
