The dealership also didn't have a key to the toolbox on my truck. How did you replace the lock? And this is pretty much how I secure my toolbox right now... It's not very safe. And the other picture is the original toolbox lock. I don't understand how you could replace it.

Thankfully I caught her in the act. But there was no doubt in my mind that she would have found a way to pull it all out and into her jeep. Chain attached! I actually thought about scaring her with my pipe reamer, but I chose a hammer to hold instead. My truck bed basically looked like a thief's Christmas that day...

Lol! No, it was in my bed when I got robbed. Not the box. I had it chained up to my oiler bucket, cutter and ratchet, the dies were under the truck box in fresh step cat littler buckets full of fittings.

Had a ****ty day at work today (was really busy), and while I was on break somebody robbed me. They broke into my bed toolbox by unlocking it somehow and stole my range bag with half a dozen mags, ~200 rounds of 9mm and all my cleaning supplies in it (no guns were in it, thank god), my 2-ton small floor jack, my 4-way tire iron (that's like 45 years old and belonged to my dad) and my toolbox with like 8 screw drivers in it. Oh and my roadside assistance kit and jumper cables.
FML and F thieving *******s.
Edit: They left my scissor jack, 55" LCD TV mount, tarp and blanket though.
I just had my own bad luck today as well. Might have to send the truck to the dealer to get the driver-side cylinder head off since the spark plug is rounded.

Sorry to hear that man. I recently got my windows tinted with 5% to help prevent thievery and I was looking at getting a tool box or bed cover to keep people out of my stuff. (I once had a drop hitch stolen)

Edit: I found out how they "unlocked" it. The lock had some slight back and forward wiggle that I never noticed after I installed it. If you shove it backwards, you can rotate it away from the handle's tab. They must've pushed and twisted it with a screw driver.
