If you’re staying overnight in Scio Township in Michigan any time soon, be extra careful to lock your vehicle and stow away any valuables. According to the local sheriff’s department, a woman has been breaking in to truck cabs while drivers are resting in their sleepers.
This tactic is so unexpected and brazen that it’s been surprisingly successful. So far the thief has stolen from at least 12 different drivers at the Pilot and TCA in the town, taking cash, credit cards, and other small valuables.
Every trucker that the local authorities have talked to have said that they always lock their cabs at night, so it is unsure how the thief is gaining access – especially with the drivers asleep inside their vehicles. Security camera footage from one of the truck stops shows a middle-aged black female, but she has yet to be identified.
Authorities are asking truckers to keep their eyes peeled and to report any suspicious behavior.
“’If you see something, say something’ is what we say,” said Derrick Jackson, spokesperson for the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department. “If it’s suspicious, then call the local police and have someone check it out.”

How is she getting in, really! A lot of fleet trucks are keyed alike. You don’t have to work for the same company to have a key that will work on many different trucks from many different companies. I’ve had guys ask me for my key because they lock themselves out of their truck. We used my key to open their truck. So obviously she has a key.

Seat belt thru the arm rest is good. I bought a load strap and put it through the arm rest.

Use your seat belts to loop through the door handle on each side. That will keep anyone from opening your cab doors.

Maybe she’s not breaking in. Maybe she’s a lizard and being let in, and then when they notice she took their stuff they don’t want to admit to the cops that they hired a prostitute, so they say she must’ve broken in.
