[QUOTE="JohnnyB, post: 1000326, member: 52774"] I always make sure to lock my tailgate. I live in NYC and anything that is not nailed down can be stolen. I also keep my tonneau cover locked at all times. It makes for a pain in the a$$ when you have to put something in or take something out, but can't beat simply locking it for what the replacements would cost. I have had a locking tailgate for all my ST's ('01, '07 & '10) I didn't know some didn't come with a lock. I also installed the power tailgate lock on my '07 and bought one for the '10 but haven't had time to install it yet. The big thing in NYC is stealing the side mirrors. On the '01 ST they were the same as the towncar which is used for many of the cab and livery cars. I had one of mine stole on my '01 right in my driveway. Just grab the mirror part and pull it out. Of course they don't sell only the mirror, you have to buy the entire assembly. I guess $25 isn't that bad if you live in an area where stealing tailgates is big. [/QUOTE]
