Thieves Target Ford F-Series Taillights, Causing Thousands of Dollars in Damages in Texas (Instagram @ford)
Thieves in Texas, United States, are focusing their attention on the taillights of Ford F-Series pickup trucks, which are targeted due to the high value of these parts.
Webster police arrested three suspects who stole over $92,000 worth of taillights from 34 victims in the Harris County area. The thefts occurred along the I-45 corridor, from Galveston to Houston, between September 2024 and January, with Ford F-350 models being the most targeted.
Owners of the affected trucks have faced high costs to replace the stolen taillights, which can range from $4,500 to $6,500. One case in San Antonio also revealed that replacing a taillight on an F-350 costs over $6,000.
During a police stop in September, two suspects were arrested with a dozen stolen taillights in their vehicle.
The taillights of the trucks, being easily accessible and containing expensive LEDs and sensors, make the vehicles attractive targets for thieves. The popularity of Ford pickups only increases the likelihood of them becoming targets, making it crucial for owners to consider installing bed covers and lockable caps to protect their vehicles.
