So I'm at 1 1/2 months of ownership and someone has tried to get into my ride already. They used an older ranger key that was all cracked and beat up (I want to say it was a late 90s type of key). A customer found it outside work and said it was on the ground near my truck. I tried to use the key to open my door, but it wouldn't turn, but it did slide all the way in! I think I need to get a couple NRA and 'Protected by S&W' stickers for my truck . So how many times have people tried to jack your rides FRF?

Mine was broken into once and someone stole my ipod...someone tried stealing my first car though...some stupid HS freshman football player

Yeah but if you truck is all alone all those stickers will do is let people know you might have guns in the truck. Believe me most people know that your gun is worth more than your Stereo.

if they really wanted it.....they wouldn't have used a key

i've locked my keys in mine while at work once....
there is a trick to getting in these trucks that causes no damage to the vehicle

I advise you to not tell other members how to brake in another Ranger or vehicle for that matter. I dont knwo if Tom will allow it on here or not. Someone on RPS, got banned for telling someone how to brake in his truck. I can't remember the exact person it was, or who he was telling this too. Just some advice, take it or leave it. I know, I have been there and done that.

come on that trick is 3 days older than dirt. i'm glad i don't have to worry about that any more.

i have insurance, take it! it is worth more than i paid for it

I've been fortunate enough to never have any break-ins. I'm mindful of where I park though, I usually park somewhere that is somewhat isolated and at the sametime very visible (such as under a parking light).

They tried? As in, they failed? And you found out who they were? How did that unfold?
