Truck owners, beware! The location of your vehicle's horn makes it easier to steal

[@repeatman]

Wiring a train horn to my alarm was the BEST thing ive done!

[@KadenStenka]

Yes

[@PlumbCarton5607]

Honestly that is actually a great idea. While i wouldn't wire it to be used while driving, having it only exist as an alarm probably will deter thieves. Problem is will my neighbors complain? maybe but it would go off only during theft attempts, not any other time.

Too much electronics in cars nowadays

[@lewie5913]

Too many cuhs stealing trucks

[@evanmurphey]

@@lewie5913both. People are always stealing but the easy access with all the electric access makes it way to easy for thieves to steal. And they will 100% do it

[@bobroberts2371]

Yep, we need to go back to the days where steering columns didn't have locks and all it took was a jumper wire from the ignition coil to the battery and jumpering the starter solenoid to drive away.

[@christopherkeene3647]

@@bobroberts2371 we need to hold the bad guys accountable so they don’t want to steal. Solve the problem

"THIS......." watching too much Doug DeMuro.

[@grabasandwich]

Hadn't gotten to that part yet, and just as I read your comment it happened. Good way to ruin a "news" piece.

[@SilentBob1932]

Need to use your 2nd amendment alarm, works surprisingly good

[@bobroberts2371]

So you sleep in your truck 24/7 ?

@@bobroberts2371shh. 🤫 He doesn’t know how Castle Law works. Of course, I’d argue that your only mode of transportation is your livelihood. No mode of transportation, no way to get to work, no way to earn an income, now you and your family’s lives are at risk. Not to mention if you had a life threatening emergency, and needed to drive to a hospital, you’re stuck hoping an ambulance will get there in time. Of course, there’s also the risk that stealing your vehicle would also mean stealing your firearm, as many store theirs in their vehicle, no now you’ve got an armed robber.

Please don't assume all gun owners are intelligent. Scratch that please don't assume all Americans are intelligent.

[@LygerTheCLaw]

a $3 toggle switch is better than anything. $200 to move a horn? that's thievery right there.

[@grayrabbit2211]

THIS. I don't have it in my current car, but in prior cars I'd get button for a feature the car didn't have. That interrupted the connection to the starter relay.

[@alexanderjones9766]

I doubt they would even have to disable the horn, considering that car alarms go off by themselves so often that passers-by almost always ignore them.

[@TonyMontana-cl6hz]

Yeah… Except when alarms are going off in the middle of the night. That usually gets some attention on a residential street.

[@dang5569]

The more difficult you make it for them the better for you. They don't want to give attention to themselves out in the opened

"For some reason they recently made the horn wiring right on the front of the grill..." _"People who already has vehicle wouldn't buy another vehicle,"_ the CEO thinking to himself.

[@jacquelineMeyers-is1zz]

What a hustle, I want to do that for 200 bucks for 15 minutes, and I thank you.

[@TonyMontana-cl6hz]

lololol. Stupid comment of the day… congrats!

[@truthbetold9923]

Relocation of horn doesn't prevent theft... instead install a hidden cutoff switch between the fuel pump circuit if fuel pump doesn't come on the engine will crank but will not start...no fuel no run...

[@ToeCheeseLover]

Very simple fix, have a real train horn installed under rear bumper and wire it to the original horns wiring! Tada... sure to send them running!!!

[@evanmurphey]

All the auto makers got waaay too big for their britches and started selling easy to steal cars. Really cool features though!! I bet they’d be cool to use if people weren’t constantly trying to steal them

[@ronjohnson9032]

If more get stolen and chopped, the more new vehicles are sold.🤔

[@TEC_Stuff]

What the h-ll is wrong with auto manufacturers these days. Poor quality control, poor engineering decisions, lack of theft countermeasures. One of the best solutions would be to get rid of push button starting and bring backs keys with digital chips imbedded in them.

[@Noneyourbusiness-d8ball]

The Automakers do it so they are easier to steal, often requiring the purchase of a new vehicle. It doesn’t not speak well about the education of the automakers engineers making it so easy. It has the odor of automakers involved in insurance scamming.

[@davemartinez45]

But then you shouldn't post videos where criminals are going to know what you're doing. I don't think it's any rights that you post videos shown in words. Everything is going to be hidden.

[@denniswilliamsadd900]

Better off to let them steal it so you could buy a dependable truck

Raise the minimum age for owning a smart phone to 18 years old

Not a Dodge Ram anymore. It is its own brand. RAM

If we can randomize enough number code to make digital currency a thing we should be able to make cloning keys a nearly impossible task.

[@sixpest]

Huh. So putting your keys in a RFID block bag from China curtsey of Amazon will stop theft. Worth a try 🎉

[@matthewross3998]

So let’s put it on KZbin and the news so people know how to steal it
