A woman whose Ford F-150 truck taillights were stolen took the opportunity to give advice to internet users on how to protect themselves properly.
Clauds, who lives in San Antonio, Texas (USA), said she is planning to move out of the city due to rising crime. According to her, the taillights of her Ford F-150 were recently taken.
“This morning, when I woke up to go to work, I saw that the tailgate of my F-150 was down. I had some boxes inside because I’m preparing to move, and I didn’t remember opening the tailgate to take them out,” Clauds said in the clip.
That’s when she realized her taillights had been stolen. “I’m not talking about cheap taillights. These have sensors and the module for blind spots. Anyway, I started checking how much it would cost to replace them. These taillights cost about $3,000 in total.”
“On top of that, they cut the wiring harnesses, so I have to do all the wiring. I have to reprogram them. All that work. Right when I’m moving this weekend,” she lamented.
Clauds then took the opportunity to give advice to other F-150 truck owners. “Maybe it’s a good idea to buy some special security screws, because they’re selling them now since thieves are starting to steal these things,” she suggested.
“You can buy a special lock for the tailgate. Because even if you lock the trunk, they can pry open that little cover on top of the tailgate.”
“It’s with all Ford trucks, has been happening for years,” commented one TikTok user. “I really feel for you. Unbelievable how things have gotten worse around here,” added another.
“Extremely common. It happened to my parents once when they came to visit me. A huge gang steals these taillights,” said a third user. “Someone tried to steal my license plates! So intense!” reported another.
