screwdriver under the key pad. apparently it takes about 3 seconds to get in that way. my truck is about to be outfitted with a steel plate behind that key pad to stop that from happening again.

Very common in fords. I see it dang near every day. I wont park my truck in "ninja thick areas" without it being in plane sight. People think I am paranoid, but I am in the insurance business. 12 noon at Jacos Tacos had a friend walking out to his truck and his buddy proceeds to tell him "there goes your truck".

Can you get some type of plate "Alex"? If so, link please. My old beater may be old, by its mine and not a ninjas...

Jackson Mississippi may be one of only a few places where you have to carry a firearm to defend yourself while playing Tennis. It is amazing how that place has deteriorated. When I was in School in Jackson that was considered a nice safe area. Now, when I am visiting Jackson I have to keep my head on a swivel until I pass north of County Line Road.

Ford owners look up Jimmy Jammers.


The Ford trucks are the easiest trucks to break in. Had a co-worker in Houston with a 6.0 F250 that got stolen. Truck was in a parking lot with a security guard. The people literally entered the truck so quickly, the security guard thought is was the owner.

Ford knows this and doesn't change it. Easy to steal trucks is good for new truck sales.

I can't count the number of times I have left my hunting stuff etc in my truck at that dump!!!! Like rj I try and park on the grass but I see that won't help now. I was wondering if it was a ford so I'm a little thankful I have a tundra now.

I always cringe every time a tourney is there and there is no parking and you have to park by the track etc.

Had a buddy get a brand new customized f250 stolen from capital grill. When will ford fix the break in problems???? They are way to easy to get into. The reason nobody notices is due to the ease of unlocking with a screwdriver. The people around think its theirs and they got a key.

Can't wait for rankin county to build something like bridges. Don't even get me started on having to go to battlefield park!!!!!!,

Hey it's not only Fords.
My Chevrolet 2500HD had the screwdriver trick done to it. Stolen out of my office parking lot at 2:00pm in Jafrica!
Just another reason my office is now in Ridgeland!

That is a big reason why, when my office was moved, I wrote the specs so that we would NOT be in Jackson.
