Truck Broken into... Twice?

Car Jackers, How do you Choose which car to steal?

I live in a really safe neighborhood and being the idiot I am... I leave my car keys in my Suzuki Pickup truck in the cupholder on the driver door. No one knows except me and my immediate family.... Well you can guess what happened, they rolled up (saw from neighbors camera) ignored all the other cars in the roundabout and parked right in front of my home going right to my truck. Its gone now. 😭 Dumb me, learned my lesson, and deserved it. Two years later I have a Tacoma pickup. Same **** happens. I left my car unlock this one day (I remember to lock it MOST days) and they stop right in front, rummage through for 20 seconds and run away getting nothing this time.

Both happened at around 2 am 2 years apart and its creeping me out like their watching me. They seem like kids and in a hurry since they didnt take anything and were just looking for the keys... And no one in my family thats around their teens, early twenties and I’m not friends with any youngins so did they just follow me from somewhere? Why’d they just zone in on my truck? (I am the only one with a truck in the roundabout) But not even try any other car. Do they just ride around looking for trucks?

Do Car thieves go for the car parts? How do they know what to scope out? Basically what can I do to deter them lol. Any help is much appreciated!

    It's probably the younger brothers of the people who stole your last vehicle.  Or maybe they first tried every car door in the neighborhood.

    Apparently you DIDN'T learn your lesson.

    I have the same question - why would anyone want a Tacoma pickup?

    If you leave keys in you are car, you are basically BEGGING for it to be stolen.

    Even trolls are not DUMB enough to do that only 2 years after it resulted in a car being stolen.

    Note: EVERYONE knows if they look through the windows.

    You'd have to ask the "car thieves."  Can you manage locking your truck up and taking the keys with you on a consistent basis?

    Your first mistake was leaving keys on the cup holder.
