RAM BOX Broken Into!!!

twolabsdad · Mar 9, 2017

My 2016 RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn with Rambox was broken into. They prybar'ed it open no problem. Interestingly, the alarm didn't go off!!!

This is a factory installed feature, intended to store items securely, yet it is easy to break into and steal without the alarm going off.

Grrrrrrrrrr

that was the first thing i thought of the first time i looked at the ram box at the dealer. easy break in.

Sorry dude. But time and time again it's proven locks keep honest people honest. They could have easily smashed your windows too (of course then the alarm would have gone off but still)...

First if this is the factory alarm in your truck then it would not go off on impact or in this case a pry bar. The factory alarm only goes off when the door or hood/trunk is open when the alarm is set. This is why I added an alarm that has impact and glass sensors

Such a shame that people suck. At least you can replace ALL your tools that were stolen, your camera, your fishing gear etc, etc, etc. (wink wink)

That's too bad!!!!! Normal people see the ram box as convenient, but knuckleheads see them as opportunity

That sucks man. Hope you didn't lose anything you can't replace on insurance.

For the future, like the guys above said, locks are just an illusion.

Take it from a guy who gets paid to break into vehicles and homes, they are all very easy to enter no matter how many locks you have, we always get in.

You can cut an entire truck open like a tuna can with a sawzall and a couple cordless batteries and barely make a sound...

on my soft top wrangler, i never lock the doors and never leave anything of value inside.

I agree with you 100%, right up until the "barely make a sound..."

I would get an aftermarket alarm and have magentic reeds installed on the RamBox doors.

Magnetic Reed switch - basically triggers an alarm when something is opened.

A good set of irons is invaluable.

Oh, they did that too!!! Then climbed in and two-handed yank on the center console lid breaking it. All told, around $7k in damage.

I learned that it is your homeowners policy that provides insurance on the contents of your vehicle. "Comprehensive" needs to be renamed. I get what you're thinking, but the question becomes would the contents stolen be worth filing a claim on your homeowners? Plus, if I had rifles in there, omg!

jljbtm · Mar 11, 2017

Wow, and is your center console lockable? Mine is not.

Get it fixed, then get a little 40 pound MEAN ASS Pit Bull and put it in the Ram Box and park it in the same spot.

Don't lock it this time.......

A Bobcat would also work.
