Geez. Everyone around here is carrying. Walmart doesn't even throw a fit with open carry. I prefer concealed. I don't even have open carry holsters sans a leg one. I won't slip my shirt behind it unless some shady characters are where I need to be and that's to simplify my access.
ALL the guns you say? This is a post ban meaning you need FFL and SOT to buy it, the pre-bans go for $250k last I saw (any non-felon can buy them). She'll eat $500 of ammo in 5 seconds on high speed (selectable rate of fire).
True, but it would be a FUN 5 seconds !!!!!!
F'n right it would be.
I was looking into a stolen car tracking system before buying my new F-150.. I live in Canada. I compared the TAG system to the Domino system. In my research I looked into TAG's and Domino's technologies. It seems that TAG uses RFID. So it looks like to track a TAG protected car a TAG employee has to drive on roads with a RFID scanner to locate the car. To mee, this seems to be arbitrary. The tracking vehicule must me into RFID reading range to pin point the stolen car. In my research, I found out the Domino uses Cell phone triangulation to pin point the stolen car. To mee, this seems to be a better method of tracking. With TAG, what happens if there is not tracking vehicule in the area where the car was stolen???Keep in mind that's not universal across all makes. It's not uncommon for thieves to be arrested with key programmers and a plethora of blank keys awaiting programming.
As well, if they're not programming new keys, they may be attacking the CANBUS system. See the article below:

And if you want a video of the CANBUS attack:
You build a better car, the universe builds a better thief. Pursuing stolen vehicles up here is generally prohibited and if caught the justice system is fairly lenient. It's a low risk / high reward venture. With increased security measures, you're now seeing thieves getting bolder and committing break and enters while owners are at home sleeping to get at keys, or straight up carjacking owners of valuable vehicles.
You are correct that the Fords without a motion sensitive fob are still susceptible to relay attacks. In Canada, you can use Carfax to find the VIN associated with the plate as well. The obscured VIN is more for keeping the dumb ones / ones looking for a quick score away. You'll find quite a few publicly available videos of thieves walking up to a car, taking a photo of the VIN, then returning some time later that day to steal the vehicle. Anything little bit helps in my view.
The OBD lock is a two piece lock with recessed security screws keyed to that particular lock holding it all together. You have to destroy the OBD port to get if off.
Here's a Reddit post from an F150 owner whose vehicle was broken into but the thieves abandoned it after failing to get the lock off.
What insurance companies are mandating for some frequently stolen models is the installation of the Tag tracking system. It's a series of RFID tracking fobs epoxied to the vehicle in several hidden locations. Think Lojack on steroids. It's something on my list to research.
I guess the point to all the steps I've taken is to make my truck enough of a pain in the ass to take that the Ram 1500 next door and the Lariat down the street start looking like a better idea. But if they take it, they take it. Can always get a new truck. Can't get a new life.
I didn't know you could kill the truck with either. What happens if you do that while they're driving away? Coast to a stop, or slam the trans into Park and lock the steering.
I mean right away..as your laying on ground bleeding. Hold the fob and kill the truck
