Funny, my new neighbor has a real nice car hauler in his driveway, might be his friends. They're away someplace, so he parked his Dodge sideways to block it. I'd rather lose a Dodge than that trailer too, good decision

I think end the end, it's just better we don't leave our trucks anywhere we're not if we can't take the long-term emotional pain of losing one

Doesn't mean you can't go on vacation, just install a home security system, 4-5 deterrents on the truck. Tear it down if you want to, same with garage door operation, or chain it all up with door stops, just use bolt heads they don't have an answer for. Bars on the window and doors. Neighborhood watch, couple German Shepherds, snakes. Just cuz you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not watching.
