Pickup tailgate thefts?

[Guylee]

This was a big problem in New Mexico about a decade ago, I had no idea a tailgate could be worth so much. Seems like the kind of thing that would raise some eyebrows unless the scrapper is equally as unscrupulous.

My gate is a pain in the ass to open, the little plastic clips that connect the handle to the rods broke so I have to reach in and manually pull on each rod to let it down. Easy fix but, I may just keep it that way if these thefts are on the rise again.

They tried to steal my Excursion here at work in the parking lot just this week. Luckily they couldn't get it started. Lost a cheap GPS, and my prescription sunglasses...which I miss the most.

That's such a crappy feeling when something expensive like that gets stolen, and you know nobody can even get any use out of it because it's specific to YOU.
