According to the Highway Loss Data Institute, the Ford F-250 truck has surpassed the Cadillac Escalade as the most stolen truck in Jacksonville, FL.
The parts fetch a high price on black markets in the States as well as Mexico, says crime analysts. Thieves strip down the vehicle and sell it off piece-by-piece, not as a whole.
To better secure vehicles, wheel locks security alarms are an option, but they can only go so far as thieves get progressively more sophisticated.
Trucks are disappearing not just from parking lots, but from right outside of people’s homes. At Curtis Protective Services, we think the best way to secure a community is to have an alert, highly-trained security guard at the gate. Curtis Security Officers patrol gated communities, condos, and apartment properties to detect and diffuse any potential criminal activity, including car theft.
At around $30,000 / vehicle, the F-250 is an investment that will be missed. Keep your family and property safe by investing in a safety and security officer who will guard your property like it was his own.
