I had one of my trucks with the tailgate down one morning. I'm pretty sure the hose clamp saved that expense.
Yes, thank you! I like that McGard lock.

No problem. Small cost instead of paying a deductible.
Somebody stole my silverado tailgate back in 2010. They were kind enough to give me a replacement... same year, same color, same trim. I have no idea when it happened, but when I got home from work, I noticed a basketball-sized dent in my tailgate and a bunch of scratches and wear/tear, inside and out. It was very strange. I was very confused, but upon closer inspection, I could see that it was clearly not mine, and somebody had swapped them out. I'm pretty sure CSPD thought I was trying to scam my insurance or something when they wrote the report.

Could also be scrappers looking for easy scrap metal. Jeep doors are often stolen and I've seen them go for scrap or end up out of state being sold off.
A better idea is to have a messed up tailgate that is hard to open and looks like hell but still works. I think that is what has kept mine safe. Better options out there for a mid 90's Chevy.

Thanks for the links. I'm buying a couple today (one to give to a buddy).

Anytime. I have a locking tailgate (mechanical/electrical) and still have a theft device on mine.
Sucks we live in a world we worry about this. With the recent wind storms, I was awarded a small dent in my trailgate due to a falling tree branches. The tailgate skin was 530.00. All said and done with paint, bedliner, camera, mechanicals was over 3000.00. Lucky for me, the dent was so small that the repair bill was only 360.00.

Use an open ended wrench and face the clamp with the screw facing the truck bed and angle it down a little. Makes it a little more work for the thief if they have the time.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
