Just happened to catch some people casing my truck this morning when I let the dog out.
I think they come with a factory setup or something don't they?
They were in a new challenger with no tags, probably stolen.

Dam you guys got that horrible white crap ready. I believe they are very easy to steal. The thiefs have gizmos now that they plug into the obd2 and reprogram the truck to a different key. Takes a few seconds and the truck is gone. Best deterrent to a thief is a nice 12 gauge.
Seriously that sucks hope, some does catch them in the act. And hopefully that someone is Samuel colt or one of his buddies.

I don't know how hard it is for them to steal it. The factory alarm is a joke. All I know is they can steal mine as long as it doesn't come back.

Damn, I played my video back and I can see them go by then turn around and creep back up the street then they park in front of my yard and turn their lights off.
When I walked toward them they drove off, I would bet the car they was in was stolen as well.
I will go back to earlier in the night and see if I can get them in the daylight.
Probably the same a-holes that did this, both of those cars were stolen

If a competent thief wants your truck its his unless you do something he's not expecting like a tire boot or having motion lights and siren go off if he walks on your property. Or you sitting in the back seat with a big gun when he opens the door. You could also have a hidden power switch that separates the main battery cable, but then you would have to reset the clock and radio after each switching. The most effective alarm and not sure they even sell them anymore is a motion switch set to the horn, when powered it had a weight that was very sensitive to movement and just opening a door or bumping the car would set the horn off till the weight stopped moving.

I have the Mopar version of Lojack on my truck. Basically makes it impossible to get away with my truck. If they don't find it within a couple of hours I actually get a couple thousand dollars.

Not sure about there. Here in my town if i call the cops and let them know someone was casing my truck or house and had video like that they would patrol the area more often. You can get picked up by the cops for casing.
