It is true that if someone wants it bad enough, they will find a way to get it, but you don't have to make it easy for them. They prefer to work fast, so if they see it's a lot of work, they will move on to easier stuff. I don't know if they are stiil around but years ago I bought vent locks, and still have them on my Blazer. You have to break the glass, or use a slim jim to get in.

There are lots of cheap ways to help protect your truck.Do an ignition kill. You can use a club. Fake LED blinking lights. If you are parking for a while, replace the coil wire with a vaccum hose, and take the coil wire with you. Fuel cutoff switches. Battery kill switches.

You can make it so they pretty much have to tow it to steal it, and if you want, you can get a gps system and run it off a seperate hidden battery. You only need it to work for a day or so after they steal it anyway.

Shop around and get insurance though. Nothing is perfect.
