Just had my third row stolen in dallas

[Warriorpluto]

He probably didn't enter the vehicle or notice any of your other items inside. He just reached in through the back glass and pulled the lever to flip it down then grabbed the handle to pull it out. Is yours a SWB or LWB?

The nbs (99-06) third row seats are a bit harder to get out by just reaching in through the window. They have to be tumbled forward before being released.

Why do people even still steal this shit when they cant get full price? Now my glass wont close. They came in through the glass and my alarm didnt go off. How can i protect against this?

They used a screwdriver and pried up the latch.

Man if i knew the alarm didn't sound when entering the vehicle then i would've been taken care of that a long time ago. That's my main concern for now is how easily accessible the vehicle is at the glass hatch. I may have to figure out and wire a separate alarm for the hatch. I could've had something important in the vehicle. I'm glad i didn't. I may sell this vehicle off and get an 2015. This really opened my eyes today on this defect

If you have an aftermarket alarm, you can add an IR sensor. It will detect movement in your vehicle after the alarm has been set. You can adjust the sensitivity—it will work if you were to leave your windows down as well, or a sunroof open.

What year is your Esky? I think the glass and interior motion sensor and tow sensors were added in sometime in 2010-2012 along with different glass and a locking steering column.

Sure hope the police bring them to justice.

Did I read right that you attempted to meet with the thief? He probably spotted you first doing counter-surveillance and took off.
