Everybody with Fords should consider an alarm system... I went into the store (about 5 minutes max) Came out, got in my Excursion, noticed all the stuff in my center console was sitting in the passenger seat, and my glove box was open.. I immediately looked around to see if any of my windows were smashed, they were all intact. The only thing missing was my handgun. When I called the police, the first thing they asked was "is it a Ford?" The officer showed me how easy it was...they just jammed a screwdriver into the drivers side keyhole, wiggled it around and it unlocked the door in less than two seconds! There was a dent under the door handle where they pryed on it. Luckily they didn't make off with any stereo or video stuff. Next paycheck will pay for a high end alarm system for sure!

doesnt Fords come with a stock alarm. I work for a tow company and have done many of lockouts on fords (which are by far one of the easiest trucks to open with a slim jim, it literally only takes seconds to get into one) so even with a high end alarm, they still would have broken into your truck, and still would have stolen your gun. to me buying a Tuffy center console LOCKABLE box would be a much better investment.
and it sucks to hear about your vehicle being broken into. and even far worse another gun being stolen. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
Update: A state trooper recovered my handgun last week, found it 200 miles away from my city.. It was not even fired(thank goodness). I ordered me a 2 way pager alarm with remote start. Also, when I had my body shop fix my door handle, I took the advice of another forum friend and had the mechanic install rear door handles on my front doors. Looks cool with no keyholes. Be safe everybody! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
