I wonder how the jack got knocked out from under the vehicle....If I came out and saw a guy under my rig with it jacked up just a sawzalling away, I can't say that I wouldn't try to "fix" the location of the jack for him.

Then say "Now where did I put that damn phone so I can call 911".

Sneaked is correct English. However, in the continuing bastardization of the English language that has been going on in the last half century as our educational standards decline, snuck has become commonly accepted usage. This has nothing to do with firearms, but strikes a chord with me because while in high school in the mid-60s I had an English teacher who would slap any student "upside the head" if he or she (they/them?) used the word "snuck" in class. Those were the days. Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane.

Maybe.......................but in 1963 English class, Mrs. Weber stated that "busted" was not a word. I looked over at Lois E. and thought differently. Of course about 90% of the time I was thinking of just that!.

The mini cut off wheel they use to zip those off would also zip through that, I get the sarcasm though.

The cordless Sawzall is their weapon of choice.
Faster than a peanut grinder with a cut-off wheel.
I use these tools in my trade.

A custom skid plate would probably be the best defense to slow them down.
Expensive, though.

I don't drive my truck much because it's a hassle on those rare occasions I need to go into Portland, but also because it's higher off the ground as a 4x4 I don't want to give thieves easy access.

Would be so much easier if we'd adopt the Texas vehicle prowl laws.
