Apparently Tailgates are very popular with the scumbag crowd and very easy to steal. Lots of trucks around here driving around sans-tailgate. Pretty d*mn sad if you ask me. but luckily, most of those losers are STUPID and LAZY, so hopefully this will make it a bit difficult for them. Cost... almost free.
I took a panel clip and mounted it to the Tailgate hinge, making it impossible to just pop right off as they normally would. Once I get a chance to go to the auto parts store I will replace the phillips head screw with a small torx screw, which should really befuddle them.
Personally, I'd rather just mount a rusty razorblade to it and watch the fun, but I might be breaking some liberal feelgood law by doing that, so for now, I give you my solution:

Not gonna lie, never thought of it, but it's a great idea.

It is very illegal, I spent a lot of money and time in court over it. Only I used syringes and mercury and a trigger to actuate a spring... It worked though, I never lost another tailgate. I lost 3 in a month before.

My friends used to solder fishhooks to the backs of their stereos back in the day. For one guy in particular it worked... JUSTICE!

I use the G-Lock for my anti-theft device ;)
