First Edition 2 Door Bronco Stolen From Garage! [Video Footage]

[CheekyOldMan]

If you are ever concerned about FordPass being disabled (or if you’ve pulled the telematics module fuse like I have), they have locking AirTag enclosures you can hide in the vehicle. Not only will it help locate the vehicle, but if the thief gets an alert that an unknown AirTag is tracking them, they’re more likely to abandon the vehicle. Better than a LoJack IMO, and you can install a few if you really want to go crazy.

Which is the telematics fuse?

20 in the BCM “Telematics Modem”

Surprised they have not been caught. My neighbor has a shot of van and plate. The police were actually pretty mad at me for recovering vehicle myself. Guess I ruined possible prints. But in my experience with that they don’t do much with that stuff. I live in the Denver Metro area and they have had a huge increase in Auto Theft.

My little city actually has a pretty good pd. My car was broken into and they took a report and were about to leave when I noticed a drop of blood on some paperwork. They called the investigator that printed the car and took the blood. About a year later they called me and said they caught the guy in another crime, matched his DNA to the drop of blood in my car, and asked me to come in and give a statement cause they were tacking on the charges. I felt pretty good about that though I hadn't heard anything after that so I don't know the outcome.

I'm glad you got it back. Police have been useless every time something was stolen from me so it was best to take matters into your own hands.

Is there a comparable product you recommend from another company? I don't support Apple.

Which In N Out did you go to? I live in Denver Metro as well, but in a small town (about 7K people) a little north. That's crazy and sorry it happened to you. We've lived in CO almost a year and I was surprised how much worse it is than when I lived here last in 2012.

cops not going finger print a stolen vehicle .cops are mad because they could have watched the vehicle and see if the thief would come back for it thats why they parked it there so in case the tracker still worked so you blow the cops chance of catching them .

Sorry to hear of this and know that you recovered your vehicle with no one harmed. They were inside your house to get the key fob so it could have been worse.

Once you get it fixed up and address security issues (side door access in the garage). Then install Ravelco and keep the male plug away from your fob.

That Ravelco looks pretty great, just wish it wasn't bright white. A dark gray would blend in better for hiding it better and aesthetics

your little town cops must not have much going on because I never heard cops taking finger prints or DNA from just a car brake in or even in a house brake in cost to much money and time .

This was done by a Ravelco dealer here in Florida. Still would prefer a dark gray to blend in better, but it isn't bright white either.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible!

Glad you got it back and nobody was hurt, but it's still a violation of your personal property and that would drive me nuts. Hopefully they fix it up and it's good as new in no time!

I keep a steering wheel club in my truck, but I haven't used it in years. Situations like this make me reconsider that...

We're a small town (about 50k people) with big city problems. It surprised the heck out of me too. When the detective was explaining it over the phone I felt like I was in a movie.

sounds a little a little funny to me that they send out CSI to get sample of blood from a car brake in and send it in sense its not cheap to do DNA testing and how back loved places that do it are .

Glad everyone was okay! Did they force themselves into the house or was there something unlocked?
