Interesting. I guess because they are supplied by a third party that makes sense.

I thought it was hard to steal a modern vehicle with a chip key. Am I missing something? Is my alarm and chip key not enough??? Disclaimer" A true "pro" will steal anything. Nothing is safe. True "pros" though usually don't strip and dump.

Something fishy here... Left it running somewhere unlocked???

I wonder if the power steering pump or rack are still in it. Seems like I'm perpetually in need of a new PS pump and my rack has a lot of play in it now.

I'm in SD as well. PM me some time if you want to tool around the desert.

You are correct, they are hard to start without the chip key. People do all sorts of dumb stuff, like leave a spare in the center console, leave keys in their pocket at a coat check, get their purse stolen, sketchy parking attendants. If you can imagine a way someone can lose keys, I am sure it has happened.

I just bought a 2020 Raptor and took it off-roading on the second day. My friend lives in a rural area East County San Diego. It has endless off roading and is bordering Mexico.

About 10 miles in, we came across a Gen 2 SCAB that had been stolen, stripped, flipped (then stripped some more) and left for dead. The Sheriff's couldn't get to it until they brought in the helicopter.

Was this on Otay Mountain Truck Trail?
