A real kick in the stones - truck stolen.
Took my wife out for our anniversary last night and some douche bag stole my truck. Talk about putting a damper on the evening, walked outside and BOOM! - Gone! They stole it out of Mr Mikes parking lot in Camrose between 6:15 and 7:00 pm last night. On the slim chance anyone sees it feel free to PM me at any time or call the police. The truck now has chrome rocker panel covers on it. Licence plate EFD-830. Many thanks.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Hope it is found soon with no damage. I'd hazard a guess as to where it will be found, but it would not be PC. What a bummer.Looks like a nice truck.

Ah that sucks. Damn Ford and no chipped ignition. My 2000 dually was stolen in Revelstoke with 4 sleds in an enclosed trailer. We put a command start in that would not let the truck start without unlocking with the remote first, every time. Only had a 15 second window. I really hope you have good insurance. It took 3 months to get mine back in satisfactory conditiom.

That sucks! I think a thief can start a Ford truck without the keys faster then the owner can with the keys!

In revy couple years ago a guy had his ford stolen from the parking lot. Watched the security footage, took them 45 seconds. Have no idea how they did it but he had pulled the fuel pump fuse after he parked. He even showed it to us. My best guess is they had some device they plugged into the obd port to power it up.

Will keep my eye open for it in case it heads west. I know of 3 trucks stolen from town here recently that were found. Two were found on roads near Wainwright out of gas, and the other was found in a chop shop in Edmonton.

I'm apart of a Alberta stolen vehicles FB group, and every once in awhile someone posts the video of their truck (90% of the time it's an early 2000's F-Series) stolen, and you're right, takes the thief maybe at most two minutes from the time they walk up to the vehicle, to the time they take off. It's insane.

Totally sucks. Hope it's found and was only used to go from A to B kinda thing. Cops need to do bait cars loaded with trackers. See where these vehicle go.

Hope so too. Most of the time, the heavy-duty trucks are used either to pinch trailers, or to do smash-and-grab looting. Minivans get their seats tossed and become short-term muliewagons.

Mini vans
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. As a once upon a time car audio guy, we used to use the cigerette lighter as a starter interlock. Plug it in car starts, leave it out no start.
As for the mini vans. Guys would cut the rear floor out. Then cut and weld the axles solid and install a lifting device, Now all they needed to do was back over most motorcycles with the rear door up, close door, lift and go. It was and still is a pretty slick setup. If you were into that sorta thing.

And usually with no theft deterrent whatsoever, mind boggling.
A simple alarm with starter kill can be installed for around $500, less than some deductibles. Sure they will get it if they really want it but a simple alarm will stop most crackheads and meth heads from joy riding it, anything you do helps.
Protect your stuff people, nobody else is going to do it for you.
OP, hope you get your rig back in one piece

I use all 3 of these on both my trucks:
- Jimmi' Jammer™ In-door lock protection.
- brake lock.
- compustar alarm system

Oh crap, I just bought a 2001 F-350 Super Duty diesel three weeks ago. I had heard something about them being stolen fairly often, but had no idea they were that easy. I took it on vacation to Lake of the Woods in Ontario the day after I bought it, pulling my 20' Ranger boat. Now I'm feeling lucky someone didn't steal them both.

My cousins kid just had his truck stolen off the farm this morning, Wetaskiwin area. He was home too. He in the house, truck in the shop. Brutal brazen scum.

Need to resort to old aboriginal tactics. The Australian aboriginals, when they found goldminers in there territory. They would break there legs/arms so they could not escape. Then kept them alive until they were hungry. True story.
Cannibals and Gold
July 19, 2017
The Merkin killed an untold number of prospectors, eating many of them.
Their favorite fare however was Chinese flesh which they described as ‘long pig’. They found it far more palatable than European flesh and this may have had something to do with the fact that the Chinese lived mainly on a vegetable diet supplemented with fish, whereas the Europeans subsisted on mostly bully beef and damper.
No one will ever know how many prospectors were killed by the Merkin but some of the tales that came out of the wilderness at that time were enough to chill the blood of the bravest men.
Meat quickly spoiled in the tropics but the Merkin had an ingenious way of combating that problem. Capturing their prey alive, they would break the arms and legs of their hapless victims rendering them incapable of escape and thus keeping them as a living larder.
This practice was not known about until two brothers were captured and one was forced to watch as the other was killed and thrown upon the fire before being devoured.
