Everything seemed to be going their way. They had the lock out and the ignition turned on. If the solenoid wouldn't have been disconnected it would have run. When it wouldn't go they bailed and left the ignition turned on so when I found it both batteries were dead.


The first thing I noticed was that the lock button was up on the passenger door. I thought, "Sh*t, I forgot to lock the doors"..... when I got towels out the day before.

So I opened the passenger door to hit the power lock and that's when I saw the ignition lock gone.

There was no sign of a break in so I was second guessing myself as to whether or not I had left the doors unlocked overnight.

Not so.......I found that the latch on the sliding rear window is broken.

WOW!!!! is that your setup? i would have lost my shiat. i would have never thaught of that, or think id need too.

I parked with those guys too, glad those dicks did not get his car.

Kudos to you for taking that extra step...!!! :headbang

Was there any other damage besides the lock cylinder...???

[Feature Pony]

man that is just sicking to see. I can't believe that some people refuse to work for a living and they work at making other peoples life a living hell by stealing. Its a good thing you took that extra step for the starter relay. It just sucks now you have to mess around with your insurance and take the time out of your life to take it in to get fixed all because some a$$hat doesn't want to work for a living.

[scaleracer]

Damn that would've sucked I'm glad they didn't get it! Good thinking!

[DRK]

I'll have to show this to my wife. Paranoia pays off!

My wife also claims I'm always too paranoid but I've always said that I'd rather be safe than sorry.....:devil

wow that is crazy someone tried to steal it. But wouldnt the "vats" system still kick in and not let it run even if you had not disconnect that wire?

[DirtyMax]

I thought about that too but my 2001 Super Duty just had plain jane normal non-chipped keys so maybe those don't have any kind of anti-theft system.

The pats system was a option that year...the truck does not have the pats option....

My 2000 Excursion has PATS on it....I heard all Excursions did.....

[Cryptic]

Nice save Tom :thumbsup

[BAD LS1]

Would it even let the glow plug timer kick the way they were trying to do it?? Or is it a 5.4 or V10? Nice save though, +1 for ford using them 1960's style solenoids yet on newer stuff that allows an easy protection method.

if it aint broke why change it.....glad that nothing was taken and that the truck can be repaired

[Sprayaway Fox]

I would'nt have thought of that. Good pic. Congrats on the save. Thats what makes me not want to go to big events like that. Like a chicken coop with a pack a wolves waiting for someone slip. Seriously Awesome thinking!:thumbsup

You just gotta do certain things in the auto theft capital of the world A.K.A. Detroit.
For 65% of Detroiters poping that chinsy lock cylinder out is probably a 2 minute walk in the park.

Great save and that Galaxy looks awesome.

[BigSnailBuick]

Good call sir!!! Glad to see its all safe and sound :)
