Can't answer your question, but lots of guys tow with the same truck so let
me toss this out there.
The truck in question was a 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty, essentially the
same as my 2000 F-350 Super Duty. While doing research on the Internet I
found a couple message boards. The topic of these trucks getting stolen
came up often because a couple participants trucks got taken. What I
learned was the tool needed to break into the cab is a flat tip
screwdriver. The plastic housing around the door latch pops out with little
sound or effort, and the rotten bastard is in your truck. Then the
ignition/steering lock gets popped out, and your truck is gone. I am not
sure about current models, but as of a few years ago Ford had not applied
any security measures like the chip in the key, etc. to their pickup line.
