Forgot to lock truck last night apparently. Just happened to be the night 2 guys in hoodies came through street checking handles.
Unfortunately they have probably checked your truck before. Random chance does not favor this being an unlucky coincidence.
What are the board's experience with products like Console Vault?
My truck was broken into when I was working in SA several years back - the chollo m'fers got my favorite 1911 that go around.
I bought a Console Vault shortly after and installed it. About 6 weeks after my first break in, some other chollos (maybe the same ones, who knows) broke into my truck while I was eating lunch at a restaurant. You could tell they tried to get into the vault, but it did exactly what it was supposed to do in that it prevented the quick snatch and grab from getting in, and they didn't get my XD. So it paid for itself in that singular event because it did what it was supposed to do.
I don't hold the notion that it is a bank vault - because somebody with a little bit of time and some common tools could get into it, but that's not what it is designed for IMO. It is designed to keep snatch and grab opportunistic POS's from getting in because it ups the difficulty factor enough.
First thing I bought when I finally got a new truck - console vault (different brand, but same concept). Well worth the investment to me.
