GMC Sierra Owners Beware – Your Truck Will Probably Be Stolen
According to authorities out of El Paso, Texas the GMC Sierra pickup truck has made its first appearance on a list of five most stolen vehicle in that region. A bad sign for owners of the Sierra, yet it also shows car thieves in the south and western states have really good taste in trucks! El Paso County Auto Burglary and Theft Prevention Task Force officials say that 50 GMC Sierra’s have been stolen from the region since January 2008 – this knocks Ford’s F-350 to sixth place.
What’s on top as far as other stolen trucks in the region? 114 Chevrolet Silverados, 109 Ford F-150s, Ford F-250s and 54 Chevrolet Tahoe. At least the Sierra is in good company.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;
How can it be that the GMC Sierra can make the top of the list for stolen trucks when it is equipped with the “theft proof” OEM Transponder?!
You seriously think that will stop your truck from being stolen?? A little naive if you don’t mind me saying.
My 2006 Sierra was stolen 2 days ago. The surveilance camera in the parking garage showed it driving away. Obviously the passive ignition system did not work. Not even any broken glass by the truck (or where it was parked). It was stolen in Dallas. I will not be replacing it with a new GMC, even though I really liked the truck. My next vehicle will be a non-descript beater that nobody will want to steal.
