GPS tracking is probably the way to go if your really concerned- or just buy a cheap burner flip phone and have your iPhone with the find my iphone app on it to leave hidden in your truck.

I don’t think this is accurate. This might help. I frequent THE 5th gen Camaro forum and there’s been several guys who have had there cars broken into/stolen in this way.

Obviously this doesn’t apply much to our trucks but it’s kinda naive to say they are just jumping in them When running and hauling ass. I live 3 hours north of Albuquerque, they are not just jumping into running cars there, ABQ is one of the car theft capitals of the country. Nothing is off limits old or new. If someone wants it bad enough they are going to get it eventually. If they are smart enough to do this kind of stuff our old trucks are child’s play.
