Stolen tail light thread

[DHMag]

Finally got the truck back BUT...they never did the bodywork. Currently waiting for my insurance to call me back regarding it. My insurance paid for body work and the dealer had the truck for nearly 3 weeks. The dealer will be hearing from me on Monday. Needless to say, I am pissed.

Also, it was the BLIS modules, brackets, and screws that were not included in the tail lamp assembly.

I hate a thief!

Cannot possibly agree more. I've always said, stealing cannot be justified. Murder, however, can. And the way to justify murder is to kill a thief.

If anyone sees someone selling both tail lights out of Texas (Arlington) from a Lariat with a chipped top corner on the passenger side light, please message me. Both my tail lights were stolen Friday morning while I was in class. Thanks yall.

I'm genuinely curious how tail lights get stolen

 

[navyguy7224]

Well someone shoved a flathead screw driver along the side of my tailgate handle, popped the latch mechanism, dropped the tailgate and unbolted my tail lights. Left the wires hanging

This is what it looks like

If you've got BLIS, this is probably going to cost you more than if they had stolen your cat converter. I hate thieves BTW.

Damn.

At over $2K you can see why those lights are such a target.

Same happened to my son. Those lights with BLIS are 1500 each from dealer. Then the BLIS are over $600 each, Plus programming. We bought screws that took security bits to remove. Makes it harder to steal anyway. Sorry this happened to you.

So sorry to hear Hope it's fixed soon!

Which screws did you end up getting? Do you have a link?

 

[navyguy7224]

Yea I'm looking into those as well.... itll slow them down but inevitably they will steal them again if they want to.

I have an Undercover Ultra hardbed cover that locks. No opening the tailgate without raising the bed cover. I'm sure that it will only slow them down. But it may be just enough (dis)incentive to steer them to easier pickings.

Lawlessness is becoming a serious problem.

 

[navyguy7224]

I have an RSI Smartcap which does nothing but enclose the bed as I'm sure you know.... drives me nuts to think that they could do it again just as easily. Makes me wanna iron clad my truck lol

I know a guy who owned a caddy, he lived in an apartment complex.
Someone took a liking to his hood emblem x 2 stolen. On the 3rd emblem he ever so cleverly attached a razor blade to the emblem, one morning he noticed a great deal of blood on the hood, emblem was intact.
The emblem was never touched again.
He was watchful for anyone with a bandaged hand, no luck
