Toyota Tacoma Thefts are Getting Worse… Why?! (and Preventative Action YOU Can Take)

Unfortunately, Toyota Tacomas and their parts are STILL high targets for thieves. I have heard first-hand accounts of this and also continue to read/watch stories about these horrible acts online. In today's video, I explain why I believe stolen Tacomas are still a rampant issue in 2025, and also ways you can prevent and mitigate theft of your own truck.
