Neighbors 2021 truck stolen

[WalleyeMikeIII]

Or,,, park the almost $100k SUV in the garage.

These things aren't cheap, I'm guessing anyone that can afford one also has a garage available to them. If not, maybe those people should re-evaluate their life choices about what they choose to spend large sums of money on.
...

Sometimes you take your 100k suv…wait for it….on a road trip??

Maybe to visit family, see a new city, etc. can’t always park in a garage.

Neighbors 2021 GMC 1500 stolen within 2 mins in the early morning hours. They cut the horn, used an Autel style keyfob programming tool and drove the truck out effortlessly

They are getting an IGLA immobilizer put in on the new vehicle sometime next week

Just wanted to post this here as it was shocking to me on how easy it was to steal the modern truck

How did you determine that was the method of theft?

Truck has been recovered (they are getting another new vehicle for the family that the IGLA immobilizer is going on), plus the entire thing is on video is my understanding. I could ask them if the video could be made available.

Here you go, one cutting the horn and breaking in, the other driving it off, all within 2 mins !!!

The simple easy way to go is just run a secondary horn tapped into the horn wire further up the wire harness and mount the horn under the hood in the engine compartment that way if they cut the horn wire at the factory horn the 2nd horn will still sound.

To be 100% protected you'd have to never go out in public (remember car jackings are a thing where they rip you right out of the driver seat at a red light).

So we play the numbers/ percentages game and protect ourself from the most common places cars are stolen from,,,,, and according to the ever helpful Google AI bot, that's our own residence.

I have a small of fleet of vehicles (side effect of being a gear head and having two driving age children still living with us). All the expensive cars (aka, not the kid's cars) are parked either in a garage or behind a locked gate.
Does that make them impervious to being stolen, no of course not, just makes it more annoying for the would be theft so that they move on to an easier target (the whole you don't have to out run the bear, you just have to outrun the slowest person in the group to not get eaten concept).

I watched a very interesting show last week car thieves where the reporter spent time with the thieves as they stole the vehicles. It took about 1 minute to steal a locked Mercedes. The thieves explained the profitability of the theft and what happens to the vehicle. The show on NatGeo was “Trafficked” with Mariana van Zeller.

Gotta ask.. On your neighbors video, how long from the wires to being cut, to them driving off, was it? My boss wants to know for his 2022 Chevy Silvy TrailBoss.

Although he parks in a garage, when he is out, its not in a garage..

As I was watching him cut the horn, I got a notification from my own security system!!
FREAKED me OUT!! Just for a sec though.

The speed is sickening.

I have a small of fleet of vehicles (side effect of being a gear head and having two driving age children still living with us). All the expensive cars (aka, not the kid's cars) are parked either in a garage or behind a locked gate.

...

the reason for those statistics when you dig a little deeper is due to people starting there cars at home and leaving them running to warm up, making them easy prey.
that alone is the most common theft.

they had to have been already prepped for that with a file & vin. the next fastest way is they break in, pop the hood, swap the ecm, learn their key and drive away. the ecm they swap in has security disabled.
your boss can install a hidden switch cutting off the fuel pump or any other critical system, it can be put literately anywhere, then if they want it they have to tow it.
a secondary measure is a gps powered with a battery backup, hide it well beyond normal. then if it gets stolen at least you have a extremely good chance of getting it back.
tons of them on amazon, ebay, etc.

The only location a vehicle may not be stolen is 50 feet , hovering in the sky.....
Gotta love " AI "

Checking the time stamp at the bottom, the entire thing happened within 2 mins

I never heard of an IGLA UNIT before... did some quick research... seems like a tidy system. Looked at an SRT 392 (used) Durango last week I understand thieves like them
Good luck to us

 

[Shunto]

No, not remotely, for PCM reprogram you have to be plugged into the OBD2 port. If it could be done remotely they wouldn't have needed to cut the "cut the horn" as the OP stated.

Key cloning (where your RFID blocking box would help) is not technically done remotely either (but is done wirelessly) as you have to be in proximately of a key fob, but a lot of people leave their keys on a hook close to the door, so a theft can get within range of the fob without ever being inside the house and clone the fob while standing on the front porch.

Sadly, here in NY the VIN is out in the open for all to see.

Long Island here.... folks here will spend $700-800k to build a mini mansion cram 3-4 vehicles driveway. (because the kids are still living at home- can't or won't move out)

And NOT a Garage in sight.

 

[Shunto]

I believe there’s a wiring mod that relocates the horn’s wiring harness somewhere less accessible from the grill.

I do like @PPV_2018 idea of blasting them with a second horn. Maybe wire up a circuit which will activate a second horn if the wiring harness is cut.

A buddies Centennial Edition got flat bedded at work while we were no more than 50 feet away inside the hangar. Security camera showed them cutting the horn then yanking it onto the flatbed.

What do the cops do these days? when shown video footage?

I was offered a job once that was in the NY city area, the pay was enough to peak my interest. Figured I could work that job for a few years, pad the ole bank account some, and move on.

Then I starting looking at the basic cost of living there,,,, and I quickly figured out why the pay of that job was so high. The apartment/condo place I was looking at (not like a fancy one or anything) wanted $800/ month just for a parking spot, and that was about a decade ago, I'd hate to know what they want per month for that parking spot now.
