Angry My L was broken into

I am reluctant to post the method but the L and I assume any other similar F150 is easy to break into. The locals demonstrated how to do it. 10 sec max. Don't leave expensive things in view or leave it unlocked. At least they don't damage the paint.

My method only takes a fraction of the 10 sec. Just smash in the window. That too doesn't damage the paint.

Mine was broken into at my dealer and they didnt scratch the paint either,No glass,nothing

They did make my steering column look like a jackhammer went out of control.

Didnt get the truck though thanks to pats system.

There are so many ways to get in any car....my friend locked his keys in his car last week at the mall, we had them out in a matter of seconds, it's really not hard. I could get in my old Bronco easy as sin, not to mention any older ford can be started with a screwdriver....(had about 5 bad neutral safety switches)

i wish I had a toggle switch connected to some kinda sleeping gas for whoever touches my door handle. That way when I got there I can take a freaking sledge hammer to the a$$hole...Makes me mad hearing stories about people messing with cars

Sorry about your truck man..

I thought about removing the rods to the lock but they would still destroy the door skin figuing out the lock was not connected then get mad and still break the glass.

Sorry to hear of the crap happening to you awhittle. But feel lucky that there was no damage to the door/paint.

The car below is going in the shop because some ****head decided to peel the friggin door edges back to break-in instead of just breaking the glass. Its going in the shop in a couple weeks for a brand new door, not a skin, because the door frame was so mangled

My truck was broken into at the dealership. They went in through the door handle. I sued the dealer and the dealer had to pay damages.
