Do trucks have door locks?

Not from me! I hope!

 

No, but I'll bet Barney Fife is pretty keyed up for a case like this.

Stolen from Gary, IN, and they say it is worth around $12 million.

A lot of companies have you drive a minimum of 4hrs or 200mi before stopping. One company husband worked for would call if you were even stopped for a redlight to make sure nothing was wrong.

Don't know the whole facts here, but he could have been followed, thieves are crafty and I am sure they pay attention if they know a factory is in the area. Good thing the guy wasn't off at a rest area, he could have been hurt.

The truck most likely had a bolt on it that had to be cut off, no simple lock I am sure and they had to offload the merchandise, so it was easier to take the whole truck.

 

Talk about dumb article writers...
The last line in the OP's news link article says.. "LG placed the volume and power buttons on the back of the G2, which may cause the thieves some confusion when trying to power on the devices."

I don't think anyone who contemplated & succeeded in stealing $12 million worth of new LG cell phones is going to have that much of a problem with the phone's power & volume button.

 

I agree - that's a ridiculous comment and makes no sense!

There are highly intelligent people out there - some do really good things, others do really bad things; but to insinuate that a thief is automatically "stupid"....is, well, stupid....

 

yes they have locks but theyre voice activated

 

Installed fuse between key switch an starter button. Just pull fuse no one thinks to look.

 

I was under the impression that high value loads not only can't stop for a few hundred miles, but that you have to keep them in locked premises or a secured yard, when you shut down for the night. Is that right or am I thinking of some other kind of load?

 

They stole $1000,s from me & my friend last week. Locks slow them down. Guns stop them. Have a video camera system in place now. They will be back. Body bags might follow. Yea Cops. I will Kill someone on my land that steals from me. They will be dead before you get here. We don't put up with that in Houston, Texas.

 

I believe you're thinking of high risk loads, similar to certain explosives, nuclear, govt. classified, etc where they have to be in a govt approved safe haven.
Besides, I wouldn't want to be sleeping in a Petro next to a trailer with 40,000 lbs of Class 1.1 explosives.
