Break in & robbery

[Texas Land Deals]

Well my Raptor got broken into Thursday night…aside from them taking my 2 backpacks with expensive personal belongings (3 laptops & a fire arm)…wondering how they got in and why they broke this back window instead of a door window? They also had the passenger panel popped off. They left a lot of stuff in my compartments though so it wasn’t cleaned out. Assuming maybe they were perhaps trying to steal it? I don’t have a keyless start…wonder if that had an impact. This happened in a new shopping center by Shakertins in midtown area in Dallas by the parking garage. All I can say is watch out if you park in that area. Hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else, it’s a pain in the ass to deal with.

Thieves should be disemboweled and hung.

Report the stolen firearm asap.

F150s are easy to break into. Usually they go through the driver door handle lock cylinder. Don't keep anything in your truck.

Yes, it looks like they were trying to steal it. Must of got spooked and took off with what they could grab. Sorry this happened to you but you should never leave any this of value in the truck.

Another reason for C4 or a turret mounted antitheft

I hope that thief gets to watch his child die in the hands of another criminal

A target rich inviroment is what a thief looks for so leave nothing in the cab. A lot of this going on in this terrible economy right now, #FJB.

Welcome to FRF, I wish it was under better circumstances.

A point of question: Have you taken any measures to harden the door entry? Was the truck aftermarket alarmed?

You can jack an f150 driver’s door in 5 seconds with a pair of pliers. Going through the rear window is unusual.

For whatever reason, the new thing in Dallas is to break into the trucks through the rear window. Probably looks less conspicuous driving with just the rear broken out vs the driver or passengers, so they believe they're less apt to be spotted. I attribute my overlanding rack to being the reason why my truck is the only one that hasn't been stolen from the driveway on my street.

Sorry to hear this. Madness out there.

Wonder why they targeted your RAPTOR or any RAPTOR? Does RAPTOR equal rich or what nots?

No, the cartels have bounties on super crew trucks and F series are super easy to jack.
