You must live in Toppenish?
Sux they keep targeting you..you might consider getting a new key fob programmed for your truck. They may have used your Vin to order replacement fob's. As for the lack of arrest. Not uncommon. Pretty easy for a property owner to claim ignorance. If it just "showed up" in the middle of the night. Unless someone saw who took it, who was driving it, or someone was in it when recovered arrests for abandoned stolens are uncommon. Something about the courts and jury's wanting proof.And just because an arrest wasn't made doesn't mean something isn't in the works. Does no good to assume Leo in the area are being lazy.

Does no good to assume Leo in the area are being lazy.Possession of stolen property is a crime. Wait a 1/2 day so they can't claim they didn't know it was there, make the arrest and then get fingerprints they could match to the interior and exterior of the truck. Even if they get off, it sends a message and gives the police their fingerprints.I know nothing about law enforcement, but it seems like they could at least have given the guy some more information about what was going on, especially if they were doing something. I know I called the cops in my town probably twice in the 12 years I have been here and both times they called back and let me know what happened and why and that was for far less than getting a truck stolen once, let alone twice.
Well not sure how they are starting it, but I would install a fuel cut off switch, or battery cut off, and place it under the dash or center console. Have it set to beep the horn when switched on.
As mentioned above install a fuel pump cutoff switch, until then just pull the fuel pump relay when parked at your house.Also get 2 of these, one obviously for the driveway and the other put in the truck when parked at your house, then you will know when they are there.https://www.harborfreight.com/wireless-driveway-alert-system-93068.html

If someone ditches a stolen car in your driveway or throws a stolen gun in your front yard should you, the property owner go to jail, or is it possible that the investigation would prove you most likey lacked the knowledge of said item therefore probable cause would not exist for your arrest...And I may know a thing or two about LE... Any..back on topic...The op could put a manikin in a sleeping bag reclined in the front seat...that would get a rise out of em if they came back .
As mentioned above install a fuel pump cutoff switch
Quote from: Buckmark on December 28, 2020, 10:33:16 AMAs mentioned above install a fuel pump cutoff switch Do not install a fuel cutoff, install a starter kill. Fuel cutoffs can leave you with a dead car while driving down the highway, resulting in loss off power, steering and braking. The worse case with a starter kill is the starter won’t crank, no potential to kill anyone.

This is hilarious as most modern (20+ years of vehicles) have 3+ fuel pump failure points already on them, you have a greater chance of catching covid 19 and dying from it then the above scenario A properly installed fuel pump disconnect is not a problem, in fact it will allow the vehicle to start briefly then shut off which may alert you or the dog and will make the thief bail There are so many other reasons your car may lose power and die while driving resulting in the above scenario, but hey do you If you are scared of your vehicle shutting off while driving and you will lose control then please stay out of vehicles and off the road
Oh I don't know only takes 1 round for the perps to crap their pants

A fuel cutoff switch would throw constant check engine lights Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Some factory alarm systems when activated or do not recognize a key kill the fuel system.So there is already potential for a fuel system to shut down due to an equipment failure already installed in vehicles.....Ever had an inertia switch in a Ford fail? I have had Fords where the switch is in the trunk and has been tripped while driving due to an item in the trunk sliding around and smacking the side, Which shuts off the fuel pump.

With all due respect Buckmark, you have been misinformed. Car Toys and other companies will never install a security system that disables a fuel system, nor does Clifford (who owns DEI, makers of Viper) recommend or condone fuel system cut offs. I happen to know his for a fact, Dan is friend and coworker from before April Fools Day 1987. Here is a Viper install manual clip, discussing the “starter kill”. You will notice it clearly shows the “starter” wire being cut and hooked up with a relay, not the “ignition” wire or “fuel pump” wire. No business owner is going to risk their company with those other type of cut offs!

Find a positive ignition wire or positive fuel pump wire.5. Connect the BLACK wire labeled Ignition Fuel Input +12V to the key side of the cut line.6.

That doesn’t mean it’s an option today. And doing a home job would make me nervous It could void a warranty.
