I love the internet. I read it here a full day before the "news" ran the story. A few years ago the big thing to steal were Cat. converters. There were stories locally of thieves cutting them off new trucks with a sawzall
There's something seriously wrong when a tailgate, even with a built in camera, retails for $4,000.
Somebody's getting the dry corncob...
The thieves are still cutting the Cats off here, i guess for Crack money? Jy
If the theft of the gates off new trucks at the dealer lots is so commonplace, seems to me they would take better security measures....
