New F350, Dually, Black and Gold stolen last night !

[Learjet]

My friend had his brand new, less than one month, Black with gold bottom F350, 6.7, Dually, Lariat stolen around Jackson, MS last night.

F#$%&*#& criminals!

Please if anyone has info ??

Part of the issue is that Ford never really remedied their locking mechanism. There are aftermarket solutions to make it tougher to steal (jimmy jammers and such), however if nothing is done they are relatively easy to break into. Because of modern computer controlled ignition systems, the thief would either have to know how to program a new key and have the equipment for it, or they had a tow truck setup to just jack it without driving it.

They all are if you are a pro. Could have drove off or towed it.

That's unfortunate. This is why you have insurance though. Now they can change anything they didn't like about the "old" F350 and get it right this time. Live and learn.

I don't think it is a funny story. We had lo-jack installed on our 05 soon after we bought it. I have worried about this happening to us in Az. Same story for a couple we met a few years ago. all of the bells and whistles for the first time for them on a new f-350. Stopped at a 7-eleven and it was gone.

Texas near Brownsville.

The crooks obviously did not see who won the shootout.

My friend has a new Ram and he can shut it down from anywhere. Does Ford not have that feature??

Joy ride and ditched...
Chop-shop and parted out...
Already in Mexico...

Unfortunately the later two are more likely
