    I once had my truck parked at a shop in Elizabethtown,NJ. I left the truck
    and stayed at a hotel over the weekend. Got a call that my driver side window
    was busted out and I should come check it out. At first I freaked out I had $500
    worth of cb stuff, playstation 3, 19 inch flat screen tv, a bunch of nice stuff. So
    I made my way to the shop and found out he stole the change in my ashtray
    and that's it. Got lucky I suppose.

    I used to park my truck at the location that I'm dedicated out of and have had all my securement stolen twice. Had the chrome lug nut and hub caps stolen once. This is a secured lot. Have to go thru a gate to get in so I know it was another company driver that did it or one of the other carriers. I now park in front of my house.

    My Christmas gift in 2008 was the removal of my tailgate on my Toyota in Mira Loma. I was on a Swift trainer truck at the time. This happened in a supposedly guarded lot. Still haven't replaced it..

    Had a baby seat stolen out of trailer at redlight in Atlanta. It was a regular run, and they wouldn't ever attempt it again....not sure why? Can't say I had treble hooks boobytrapped to the latches or anything--that would be cruel.

    When we worked at Werner we had 150 gallons of fuel stolen over 5 weeks during the highest prices. At the same truck stop over and over, but I cannot remember where it was. I think Kansas City.

    Aside from that have had nothing stolen yet, but I am paranoid. And if a lizard ever got in my truck I'd call the police and report her as trying to steal my truck.
