One way in and the only way to leave is either on a truck or train. Why stick with a system that costs millions in shrinkage? That's stupid, no other industry would ever settle for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally unacceptable and should NOT be happening. Ford needs to tighten up the security! Bottom line! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could add a tire shredding mechanism to the entry and exit gates also. It won't stop them but it would make it really hard to steal multiple vehicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 5 - 7 Broncos were stolen on Sunday. Still better than the HUNDREDS if not Thousand of Kia's that are getting stolen daily right now with TikTok showing everyone how easy it is with a USB Cable.

rperez817 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Speaking of stolen pickup trucks, NICB reported a few days ago that Chevy full size pickups were more popular among thieves than Ford full size pickups in 2021.

Full size pickups are by far the largest segment on the road so of course they'll be the biggest target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Looks like about 25 more Mustangs have been stolen from the shipping lots over the past few days. Wonder if some people just needed one for the Stampede tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 There is some film on social media showing a bunch of raptors south of the border being used as gun trucks or just hauling around heavily armed men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised that they don’t put a big ditch inside the fence line so it’s impossible to just drive through fences. High security gates could also incorporate devices like anti vehicle posts that prevent access to the gates. Ford has lots of dollars, they just need to understand by doing what I suggested, their theft insurance premiums becomes way less, maybe unnecessary…….

I can do without the last line of this press release, which makes it feel like he was a victim. These are typically organized theft rings that utilize minors because the limited criminal penalties for minors. He’s no victim. Ford needs to get there shit together on securing these lots. This is ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, don’t want a dime of my tax dollars (in this case, literally my tax dollars. I live in Brownstown) going to this dude in any fashion or form. please note I’m heavily censoring myself here, I’m not happy about this at all.

jasonj80 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 First step would be to make the truck gate lower so you can't just drive vehicles under it or put one way tire spikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 How the heck do you just lose track of a vehicle like that? I guess record keeping isn’t that great-which is a bit shocking considering the amount of Raptors made have to be less then 10k a year.

But maybe they had fake documents or some other plausible story. Or maybe the dealerf is just an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
