F-150 and F-250 trucks are the target of a crime ring in SWLA

6 stolen so far in Beauregard Parish this week.
They hit up DeQuincy a few weeks ago as well and a few of the stolen trucks were found in staging areas waiting to be moved.
The truck in this video was locked but the thieves had the code to unlock it and push button start it. I know a few of the victims and they all said the same story. I heard about a year ago that thieves have figured out how to hijack the signal from your key fob and use it to break into your car. The victims also said the thieves are scrambling the Ford Pass app locater so they can't locate their trucks.

Guess owning a Faraday bag for key fobs will be needed now.
Just a heads up for F Series owners in SWLA to secure your ride and maybe not leave anything valuable in it.

I bet they won’t try that in a small town. For example, the mean streets of Welsh, Louisiana.

It’s the goddamn Nicholas Cage trying to save his brother again. I’m hiding my GT500.

My GMC Sierra was just stolen in Texas. Gone in 60 seconds.

Damn. Seems like a Kia situation where they have a reliable process on how to steal them.

I have been using one for 4 year. A metal tin box works too. That’s where I place my keys when I get home.

They steal the signal when you hit the remote button. They just have to be in a certain radius. At least that is how they did it about 5 years ago. They probably have even better tech now.

Or just order one of these: Trunk Monkey

Wireless push button start is the ll stupidest idea ever. Car ignitions should all use an actual key.

I invested in separate gps trackers for all my rigs…just in case. Little money but the fun of hunting it down will be worth it.

Left me out that 1990’s era work truck with manual windows, manual locks, and no fancy stuff is shining bright now.

I've seen it done... mostly it just unlocks doors ... some cars start but turn right back off... some cars prompt you to press start button with key fob... most these guys only using it to steal firearms out of trucks and SUVS in public parking lots

Baws hiding scared now

That’s why I got an EV, baws. If anyone steals it they won’t get far before they run out of range, and I’ll catch up to them during the hour long recharge! But you suckers keep driving your ICE vehicles.

Thanks, I sent my grandpa in Kinder the KPLC link

Isn't it still hunting season?? Maybe if one of those bucks got shot trying to steal the truck in the driveway it might change things up.

Welcome to the past 5 years in South Texas. They steal them and drive straight to the border. There have been 7 thefts at work in a secure parking lot the past 5 years.

I’ve used a faraday bag for my key fob since my vehicle was stolen in 2020. Pretty much the only way to stop car theft with these rings.
