Wait, is under age a thing on the O-T?
I swear he had said she was over 16.
Personally, I don't like any gray area with the laws. I go 21+ just to be safe
Not sure about the rest of these folks..

Dallas PD in the last 5 yrs has been terrible to work with.

You always have a say. It is a travel tournament and parents always have a say in which ones they go to or where they are at.
It sucks it happens and that is why I am using it as a PSA for anyone else with a team wanting to come to Dallas. There are safer parts though, downtown is just a shithole.

The more electronic vehicles get, the easier they are to steal. They have been picking off late model F150's left, and right, in Houston. No breaking in. They just walk up with the master code and drive away. One thief was caught 2 weeks ago, in my neighborhood, because the owner had an Apple Airtag on his truck that alerted him at 3:30 in the morning. Police were waiting at the neighborhood exit.

You should start a separate thread for this

They like the F250's for backing through store fronts.

I can speak to these devices (I’ve built a few for work and for fun)
Basically there are two types, depending on how your car’s ignition works.
If you have a keyless fob that starts your car (e.g., you just walk up and hit the ‘start’ button), attackers can wait for you to park your car and go into the restaurant, shop, whatever. Then they setup relay radios between your car and your location so the car gets your legitimate key fob wireless signal. (Suspect this is what happened to you btw)
The other type executes what’s called a rolljam attack - basically, every key press of your fob has a unique, sequenced randomized code. These codes are synced between your car and your fob when its first synced (and occasionally over time). Since it’s random, attackers can’t just build a radio to guess because of 1) time to guess correct code is statistically unrealistic; and 2) your vehicle is smart enough to basically recognize an attack and reset/ignore all previously issued codes.
So, your car will only answer to one code at a time that is theoretically never used again. However, in case you hit a button while it’s in your pocket or whatever, the car actually recognizes like the next 20 codes that have been programmed.
The rolljam attack works by setting up a listener and a jammer. He jams your car’s receiver for the first button while listening for that code. Your button press won’t work (it was jammed), so you use your fob again and it will work after the jam stops. BUT, that original code WILL still work (almost like backwards compatibility).
There are other problems out there mostly around bad implementation of the crypto (Teslas, Ford Raptors, Jeeps come to mind). It might be possible the OP falls into this category.
Either way, hope insurance comes through for OP - sucks all around.
OP - might be worth a call to Chevy (not your dealership) and see if they’ve had similar reports.

No way there’s a master code on F150’s that works for every single truck. I guess you read that on Facebook.

I don't know if it helps but this is why I always lock the car with the button on the door.

Better solution:
Doesn't even matter if I leave the steering wheel in it. Just lock and remove the key.
