Default THANK YOU JIMMI JAMMER!

Last night I awoke to my psuedo-train horn blaring @ 130am. I sleep upstairs about 30 feet from my truck. About 5 seconds after the alarms/horns went off, the f'ing coward/worthless pieces of s*&t drove away fast. Within 10 seconds I was in the front yard, but two of my neighbors were out there first. The front driver door was cracked open, but still locked. Wow, it was hard to go back to sleep with my heart racing and that violated feeling inside. I know unloading 20 rounds of hollow tips from my Glock 9mm with would feel good getting rid of those waste of humanities - so that it wouldn't happen again. Then again, we are in CA, so that is not an option.

Back to reality; Earlier this year I replaced my plastic door handles for the chromed aluminum billet style handles all the way around the truck. They aren't cheap. But.....that's not what saved the truck.

Before replacing the handles, I read about others whose SD's were violated and had items stolen out of their truck. Luckily, I take EVERYTHING from the truck into the house EVERY night, except for the $1k double din Pioneer GPS Nav unit. I READ ABOUT JIMMI JAMMER, (Jimmi Jammer Passive Truck, Car and SUV Security) and had to have those puppies installed with the new handles. I'm not a salesman, just a lucky person.

Well, the JIMMI JAMMER is not made to fit around the thickness of the billet handle, but I bent it and got it on there. But instead of aligning it nicely with the key cylinder, I cocked it sideways so that it would not let the key cylinder slide out of the handle when hammered. And then I had Rattle Trap tar paper 5 layers thick on everything inside the door.

So when the loser/druggy used a large screwdriver and hammered in the key cylinder, it wouldn't move out of the handle, because it has the JIMMI JAMMER wedged behind it. They finally got the door to open part-way, but it was still locked, so the door would not open, and the Ford alarm went off.

This morning, I quickly pulled the door apart, put a small piece of aluminum in front of the damaged key cylinder, then bolted the cylinder back in and tar papered it to the handle. Then I placed a large washer over the back of the key cylinder and tar papered it down. I had to remove the actual unlock arm on the back of the key cylinder, since it is of no use anymore. Then I reinstalled the door handle with the JIMMI JAMMER smashed against the washer, holding the aluminum plate and key cylinder in place, then tar papered it. SO if there is a next time (hopefully not) the alarm will sound before they get in.

I am very lucky having not lost anything, and I only lost the use of the driver side keyhole, which I have NEVER used once. I advise everyone to install the JIMMI JAMMER on all four doors. The best $50 I have ever spent to date. AZ Truck Accessories | Redline Technical Group Jimmi Jammer

I just want everyone to have the same results with those waste-of-humanity theives. Nothing really broken and nothing stolen. Just the feeling of anger and violation; which is already going away..................

Tie a Rotweiler to the bumper, use a rope and not a chain so the POS dosn't hear him coming.
