A word of warning on rising Thefts in Tampa/St.Pete
Alright guys just wanted to post up, a freind of mine had thier mustang broken into. Another guy that I dont know of but another freind knows had his car broken into the other night, and they tried to steal the wholde car by popping the ignition, They actually couldnt get it started because the Chip key prevented the theft. However the way thier breaking into these cars is through the doors, Ford used some real crap to hold the tumblers in, and with a flat head screwdriver, the door can be assesed in under 10 seconds, and the messed up thing is that the pop on the door and the metal around look almost untouched, I have seen is first hand (the slightly bent metal that is). After talking to the Deputy, there is a huge increase in the thefts of late model mustangs and F150's, the newer versions, because of this popping the tumbler issue. If they are stealing the whole cars becareful and keep an eye out for 00-04 stang parts being sold and be weary of them. Mustangs and th F150's have increased over double the pst few months in car thefts. Good Luck
