Just out of curiosity but what makes these F350s so popular for thieves?

I believe its because they don't have a chip in the keys or a
Passive anti Theft system. Jam a screw driver in the ignition
and go. Door locks are pretty easy to jimmy too.
I used to be a Ford lot guy.

Also lots of cargo space and hauling capacity. Steal a thing, to use it to steal other things. The perfect crime

Kind of curious to know if you could call TREO to find out if and when it crossed Port Mann. The address you gave is pretty close to the bridge.

So many F350 owners work the oil patch and as a result many do steroids, have tons of tattoos, own pit bulls, hot yet classless and skanky girlfriends, live in places like Coquitlam, are huge sports fans(hockey or football), listen to a ton of Jay-Z and drink whatever the most gaudy bottle of whiskey is while wearing Crooks and Castles clothing

My buddy who owns an f350 (not your stereotypical bro, that being said we just spend the weekend ripping around in it in FSJ) mentioned to me that the digital code lock on the drivers door handle can very easily be removed to show locking mechanism allowing easy entry into the vehicle. So thats already one easy way into the truck.

GF's dad's F350 got stolen in Fraser Heights about 2 weeks ago.

I heard of 3 other similar trucks being stolen since in North Surrey?/Langley.
