First to have...Ranger Stolen

He said "the extra key was in the truck"
I am not sure about his state but in some states when a vehicle gets Stolen they issue a salvage title after

I know of a few devices like the FlipperZero and HackRF that can read and transmit those codes

Man you must be bored at work Robert. You just dug up a 7 year old thread and both those guys haven't been on here in a couple years. lol

Paul @OrangeStreak was famous for digging up old threads. One year he responded to a Christmas thread from 4 years back.

So woke up this morning and walked out to my truck and it was nowhere to be found. Luckily the ranger comes with Ford Pass and I knew exactly where the vehicle was last parked. Called 911 and they were able to recover it within the hour. I'm religious about locking my vehicle and can remember hitting the lock button yesterday but it's possible they used some other device to get into the vehicle or it was just unlocked I'm not positive. But the extra key was in the center council and that how they drove away with it.

So my question to everyone is has anyone had something similar happen before? I called my insurance company and they said they will pay for a new key but not to rekey the truck (XLT) Any advice on if rekeying is needed. Or just reprogram the vehicle so they can't drive away but they still could get into the vehicle. I'm assuming the dealer will charge an arm and a leg. Is re-keying the manual locks something lock smiths do as well? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Shoulda put the spare key above the sunvisor...they'd never find it there...

So, I'm not an expert by any means, but this is what I bought after watching all the YouTube videos regarding vehicle theft...

The small fits my 2021 Lariat intelligent access key with room to spare. It’s tiny bit large in my pocket, but I don’t mind.
