I was wondering has anyone ever had one of these robbed from them if so is it easy or would I hear someone trying to take it at night?? Thank you

It would take an amateur with the proper tools about an hour to get the cap off the truck after he made a lot of noise getting the tailgate open. I have one of these on my 2011 Nissan Frontier. It is not so easy to steal one without ruining it. The underside has 4 clamps on which a clever attachment tightens the cap onto 4 brackets. The brackets are fastened onto the interior of your bed by way of 4 cap screws which require a hexagon wrench. The cap is folded up to fasten the front and folded down to fasten the rear. The rear attachments are spring loaded and require a good bit of pressure to fasten or unfasten them. If your tailgate has a lock on it that you use, it really discourages anyone from stealing it. I have had my cap since May, 2012 and have shown it to several prospective owners. I really like it and recommend it wholeheartedly.

If you keep your tailgate locked there is no way of removing the cover without cutting into it, effectivly ruining it. Also, with the Nissan Frontier, extra hardware is bolted into the bed tracks and would require more time to remove.

Yes, I have tried. DO NOT do this, they are not even noticable at night time. Very dangerous.

That's a question for the Master lock, not the end user, however, no lock can keep any expert out. This device is meant as a deterrent, and that it does very well. The problem with the door, is that it takes a mere second to steal. Not the case if he has to find a key that fits the lock. The idea with thieves, is to get away fast without getting caught. The deterrent prevents a quick getaway.

We attempted to fool it as well and all failed. We never thought about someone trying to duplicate a fingerprint to fool it. We have a house alarm so it's really just a primary line of defense and more of a convenience for us not to have to worry about our teenager carrying a key.

It will not go off unless you pull the trip cord. It's like a Hand Grenade. If you had the string hanging on the outside of your bag around your wrist and someone grabbed your bag then yes, it would go off inside the bag. I think better to have the alarm cord on your arm and if someone messes with you pull it and toss the alarm. It will continue to sound for one hour so that if you were knocked down the perp couldn't just stop the noise if you threw it out of reach. Well worth the small price for this much attention. Also, it would be comforting to someone to place one by the bedside if you hear something you could pull the cord and get that screaming alarm.

Never had this happen. I suppose if thieves wanted to pry open the door it wouldn't be too hard. But that's true of many locked doors!

The lock seems good & not cheap. Watch your bills, if they spike something is going on. Also...maybe try a camera to watch if their is anything going on.

You can see a status bar of steps taken by tapping twice by the amount of lights solid or blinking. It has fallen off twice. One I had to drive after work down dark roads and a dark recycle center to fortunatly find it on the ground. Good things I was not mugged. This alone I might switch to the One. I am still within the return pirod.

Yes, I had my cover stolen. I replaced the cord supplied with SS cable. I put a loop at each end and used a padlock. It works great!!! Good luck.

Please call them, customer service is excellent. I have had items that I just didn't like the feel of or some other minor thing. I spoke to a live person,paid nothing for return shipping and my new item came quickly- go to www.LTSPECPRO.com get the ph#- let them know what happened and you will have your item immediately, and probably another free item or you will pay nothing for the original item to boot, just ask. This is all from firsthand experience on the 3 returns I have made in the past 14 years. Talk to Anthony. I ordered a Trench hawk for my child who was soon being deployed to the Middle East, we got to taking and I mentioned that my Norse Hawk had been stolen and what a great hawk it was and I hoped that I got the Trench Hawk before my child shipped out - long story short, I was charged 4.99 thereabouts for cheap shipping ( I am on a fixed income) I got BOTH hawks AND a GI Tanto with a best wishes note for my kid all in 2 days. Give 'em a call.

What you suggest then to find a lost bracelet in a home if this item is not suggested? I'm on the same situation. Thank you

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

I bought more than one in anticipation that I will try bringing it on a plane and see what happens. If they take it then I know and I'm out $11.00. I've not tried yet however. Let me know if you could. I'm curious about it too.

OMG NO!!! I haven't even heard of such a thing! I know I have only had mine about two months but, I wouldn't have gotten it if I had heard of something like that. Sorry that happened to you

they could very easily but im assuming the thief hears the alarm and assumes the cops are on the way...smashing it then wouldnt do any good....this may be a good assumption for soft criminals but for hardcore criminals maybe not. if you live in a bad area you may want a real alarm system. for the teenaged thieves inmy area I'm assuming this is enough...i have home owners insurance too so stolen goods would likely be replaced.

Irrespective of any security measures a motivated thief will find a way. Anyone who wants to use a crow bar must be desperate as the reward is not worth the trouble. I did get a response from the manufacturer on the question of security and their lock sets. They did say the lock set is the same for all units of this type but the combinations are in the thousands ,however it appears there is a probability that several customers could have the same key and combination. So the keys are not universal but not totally secure.

A thief can, if they are thinking clearly, after the alarms gives them an earful. If not, like most, they'll likely take off running. Or maybe they'll just burn the place down which no alarm can prevent. For the money this is a nice product. Though I am only using as a door chime.
