Don't fall for it like I did!

Get one of these. Park your truck close enough for it to work. Tape up the LED light so it can't be seen. Wait for the fun to begin.

I wonder why they targeted your truck? Any gun stickers on it? Anything visible to someone peering into it? Too bad you couldn't have just followed the track to your iPad. I'm sure it was in a really nice neighborhood.
No stickers necessary... If it's a truck, it's a target. They know that most people with pickups probably have guns, and at least half will have them in the truck.

And those console safes are useless. As you found out they can be popped in seconds. Same for the 'safes' you tie to your seat with a cable. Cutting the cable takes them a few seconds and they can open the safe at their leisure.

The short answer is that if you have a truck or SUV you will be a target. Don't leave anything in there that you want to keep when parked in a public lot. They'll still break a window or get in some other way (a friend had his door lock drilled at a Bass Pro) but that'll be about it.

As for the iPad, the cops don't bother with that even if you show them exactly where it is.

At least that's what my sister found when a thief stole hers after breaking into her house. The cop said they would have to get a warrant to search the location it was pinpointed to, and that was too much effort for a 'minor' theft.
 
It was an off-brand off of Amazon, I ordered a new one from CONSOLE VAULT that looks much more secure...but I am NOT putting any faith in it! Kinda like car door locks, my dad used to say that locked cars only keep honest people honest, criminals don't care - I believe he was spot on!
That's pretty much it
 
Not unless you can articulate that you were in immediate threat of death or serious physical injury. Word of caution whenever attorneys get involved things can get convoluted. Best to avoid that whole deadly force situation.
Pretty much. I've said for a long time that criminals have more rights than we do
 
The “citizen” has got to where he/she aren’t but a PITA to the police when it comes to theft or anything like that.
The police don’t do enough to lock the criminal up because they would actually have to do some work ! It is better or easier for the criminal to do enough or threaten enough for the citizen to be able to bust that ass or just kill them one !!
My opinion is they just need to be done with instead of having to support their butts in the jails.
We aren’t allowed to actually work them for profit , which is what should happen IMO.
The criminal should be worked and the pay go to the person they screwed over or stole from or whatever.
I say make them support themselves in jail and pay the citizens back for the cost of having to deal with their butts ! Unfortunately it will never happen.
 
Agree 100% If you steal and get caught you should repay the person you stole from with interest.

If you can't afford that you go to a work-program of some sort and pay them out of your wages until the debt is cleared. Don't want to work? Fine, you go to jail and work the prison laundry.

The Constitution specify exempts forced servitude when incarcerated as 'slavery' for a reason.
 
You would think the Hilton was patrolled by security, even when it is I never leave anything in my car/truck. We stay pretty much at Hilton brand hotels. I also don't advertise that I am an armed citizen.
A Hilton! Not exactly the Motel 6. You would think they would have some kind of security. It's just as much their fault as the thieves.
