They can back up to your truck and be gone and everyone will think your truck is getting repoped.
I starving pit bull left in the cab at night.

To prevent a justified visit from the animal cruelty folks, I park twice a week on a crack street with the passenger door unlocked.

What are some options? Ford doesn't offer a keyless entry handle without the lock cylinder........
I have had the same issue - found out F150 since 2004 is most easily door theft of all vehicles. www.jimijammer.com best solution. Ford should recall the plastic locks. Toyota and others do not have this problem. Sure a theif can break a window...but to open my truck door in 3 seconds is faster than my remote works. Ford should of recalled this since 2004

Default Door break in fix

I have found a fix. Look up jimijammer online. Install the steel plates on each door. Remove the driver door lock and install the plug. Your keypad and remote will still work. I had mine vandalized as well it took the thieves less than 5 seconds - I have it on surveillance video. New 2015 F150's look like they have removed the locks altogether according to what I have seen online.
