Anti-Theft methods for truck and trailer (or both)

truth is.... if someone wants your truck/trailer bad enough ? its going to happen no matter what you install. *** knock on wood*** I have never had a theft of any kind and ive been in all 48 states and canada

 

i saw a guy use a heavy garbage bag on his air filter as a anti theft

 

The cheap and easy way is to keep cell phone ore two cell phones in truck in silent mode. Many companies proved cell phone tracking (aka track your kid) and it is not all, cops may ask cell phone company help to find its location by number ore IMEI. Really cheap way

Well at least they won't tote your truck off but it'll be stripped ...I hate thieves,geez they work harder trying NOT to work...ugh

 

he wouldnt bother that truck if he seen some snakes inside ,I guarantee it!

 

Well that's just icky!! Lol think I'd rather have my flat screen jacked! Lol

 

IMO, GPS tracking is the best thing. I use GPS tracker with FMS, and I know where is my truck, what is fuel milage and I can read J1708 messages (including fault messages). The only problem I have to use Baltic countries roaming SIM card becouse my truck works in different countries. If you use truck in USA any national operator is good for you.

 

Consider these...they are the best in their category...
Sadly, no insurance discounts (I have found yet) for any of these....

...According to reviews and the manufacturers, no one has defeated either 4 of these,
but they are the spendiest, that's for sure.
The truck stop kin pin locks can be beat with a hammer.....

True that, that if someone wants your rig bad enough - they will likely get it.
But slow them down or make them think twice...All we can do with these products is buy time.
Thieves hate time.
