Well the Yesterday I was laying in bed before school as normal not wanting to get up. As normal I heard my uncle leave heard the truck door shut......heard it open (my window was open) followed by Son of a B****. He came back in called the cops and waited forever for them to show. When they did show they dusted for prints and found nothing. So as much as we know is sometime during the night someone pulled up and ripped the tail gate off the truck and drove off.

There's a big black market out there for tailgates. My dad had a '90 F-250 a while back (the truck wasn't quite new at the time, but close), and his tailgate was stolen. His reaction was to get a camper shell that covered the part where the tailgate would be...I think he said a new tailgate was a couple hundred $$...

I actually wouldn't mind if someone stole the tailgate off of my truck; it's in horrible shape and I've been wanting to replace it for a while anyways

I Had The Same Problem with my Shop truck And After it was Ripped Off I Did a search on Tail Gate Locks ..found a great one at the Local Dealer..it Covers the Outside Latch and is Color matched so it looks ok..has a great key lock.. It Works!
