I still think the main reason SDs are stolen is because of those big shiny 20s they roll on.

From what I read, it's becasue the keys weren't chipped until 2008 and theft is easy.

Maybe they just keep stealing the f250's cause they wouldn't want to be caught driving a chevy or dodge.

I know of a guy who had his F-250 stolen in Houston, and another who had his broken into in Lafayette.
