Tailgates stolen off trucks at an alarming rate
If you own a truck make sure to lock your tailgate. Insurance companies say they’re getting more reports of stolen tailgates recently.
There is apparently a market for these parts selling upwards of a thousand dollars. But not all cases involve victims.
State Farm says some people are doing it to their own cars just to make a quick buck. In the meantime truck owners are advised to lock their tailgates and park in well lit areas.
