Default Truck broken into this weekend

So when I woke up Saturday morning at 5am to go to warm up my truck before going into work I found my truck was unlocked. Kind of strange at first...When I got into it, I noticed my center console was open and my portable navigation was gone, and some other small things....Fu#$. The *******s also stole the remote control to my pace edwards power toneu cover. When the cops came over to do the report they said that I probably left the truck unlocked because there was no sign of force entry. BUT I NEVER LEAVE MY TRUCK UNLOCKED. I am so careful with my truck, and pay such close attention to it. Plus I wake up every morning to start my truck, and I have never found it unlocked. It kind of interesting that the one time, I would leave my truck unlocked, someone comes in and steals stuff. Also this all happend in the driveway of my own house between 12am and 5am. My question is if you guys know if its easy to break into our trucks without a force entry? It seemed like these guys would need to have an extra keyless entry to do what they did, but they didnt. The same thing happened to my brother truck with his stock keyless entry, but he has an XLT without the door handle keypad. Now I have to get an aftermarket alarm which sucks. Since I have, and want to keep my remote car start, an alarm is going to run me $650 installed after all the bullcrap that they add on. Also does anyone know if we can keep our original ford remote start and an aftermarket alarm together? Thanks for any imput or advice. This incident is going to cut into my new tires budget which I was looking to do this week.

If you have the keypad on your door then it's very easy. I was driving down the road leaving the bar before i even realized anything was missing.

Yeah someone broke into my 2000 F150 when I was on a bike path for 3 hrs. Truck was in a parking lot right by the main road. I am the same way and never ever leave my truck unlocked. When we got back to the truck my gf asked for her sandals and when I went to reach in the back they were gone. Along with her purse which was on the floor. My doors were locked when I got back to the truck, which was the weird part. I noticed a couple scratch marks on my drivers side window (i had tinted windows so the scratches showed easier).

I guess they would open the doors just like AAA would if you called them to get your keys out if you locked them in there.

Yes. My dad repos from time to time. He's the guy the cops call to unlock cars when days get locked in.
