    Years ago on my previous truck I had an NRA decal in the back window and for a time a Ruger license plate in the front. But stories like this are the reason my current truck has no decals or stickers of any kind.

    I thought this part about the Ford trucks was interesting...

    Which vehicles hit were the favorite? At that gun show, twelve trucks were broken into and every one of them were Ford F-150s or 250s with pushbutton entry keypads on the doors. The thieves had knowledge of how to pop those keypads out of the door and disable them to unlock the trucks.

    Might be better off with a Clinton and maybe a rainbow sticker. They would be thinking there is no guns or hunting gear in there.

    LOL

    Seems like this subject comes up occasionally. There was a rash if RC trailer break ins a few years ago because guys had them airbrushed , decals all over, stuff like that. I have a GCGF decal and an NRA sticker on my truck but no problems so far. Construction trailers get hit because of advertising.

    I got rid of my RC trailer a while back. Thought about putting "Joe's Septic Tank Cleaning" on the side. That or "Bio-Hazard recovery team. Do not enter without proper PSDs and encapsulation suit"
