'This Is Why I Have an 04 Camry:' Man Takes Ford F-250 to San Antonio. Then He Sees What Happened to It in the Hotel Parking Lot
When the owner of a Ford F-250 walked out of his hotel one morning, the truck was exactly where he left it—except for one small detail: the tail lights were gone, cleanly removed. No glass, no wires, just two neat holes where $1,000 worth of lighting used to be. That's what happened to online creator Alex (@3.6slowvvt_) during a recent overnight stay in San Antonio. In a TikTok clip that's been viewed more than 184,000 times, viewers see that his Platinum edition F-250 has had its tail lights removed. News reports in San Antonio recounted a rash of recent tail light robberies in the area. Why are People Stealing Tail Lights? Tail lights from trucks like the Ford F-Series are surprisingly valuable. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sets can fetch several hundred to over $1,000 apiece , and in some higher trim models, replacement can cost even more. They're also relatively easy to remove : thieves only need to open the tailgate and undo a few screws, with no heavy tools or complex hacking required. Once removed, tail lights are typically not traceable, making them ideal for quick thefts. Alex's situation isn't an isolated TikTok incident. It's part of a growing wave of vehicle part stripping affecting truck owners nationwide. In the Houston area, police recently uncovered a theft ring responsible for stealing tail lights from 34 Ford trucks over four months between September 2024 and January 2025, with the stolen parts valued at more than $92,000. More on Ford's Tail Light Problem Police Are Fixing Ford's Taillight Theft Problem Thieves Have a New Target: Ford F-Series Taillights While catalytic converter thefts have dominated headlines in recent years, law enforcement agencies nationwide are increasingly reporting a shift toward more discrete, high-value parts. Tail lights, bumpers, and grilles—especially from full-size trucks—are now common targets , as Motor1 has reported before. These components are easy to remove, often untraceable, and in high demand, making them attractive to thieves seeking quick payoffs with lower risk of detection. Ford Super Duty and F-150 trucks are disproportionately affected by this type of theft, in part because of their widespread use among contractors, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts, groups that keep demand for replacement parts, especially tail lights, consistently high. The design of these trucks also makes them more vulnerable. OEM parts are modular and carry significant resale value, further incentivizing theft. Additionally, the trucks' elevated ride height provides easier access for thieves to reach and remove components like tail lights without much effort or visibility, especially in poorly lit or unsecured parking areas. What Can I Do to Protect My Car? While these kinds of activities can spread to just about any area, Texas authorities have seen enough incidents already to offer some preventative guidance : Park strategically: choose well-lit, secure locations; front-in spots near building entrances are ideal. Lock screw access points: installing tamper-proof screws or bolt kits makes removal far more difficult. Secure your tailgate: thieves often gain access through unlocked tailgates—secure yours. Install surveillance: Dashcams with motion sensors or rear-facing cameras can act as deterrents and evidence collectors. Equip vehicle alarms: systems with tilt or movement sensors increase the risk of detection during tampering. Engrave parts: Marking lights with unique identifiers can aid in recovery if stolen. Insurance Options Comprehensive auto insurance policies typically cover the cost of tail light theft and other non-collision damages, under the 'other than collision' or vandalism coverage segment. However, policyholders should be prepared to pay their deductible—from $0 to $2,000—before their insurer covers the remaining repair costs. Given the surge in demand for replacement parts like truck tail lights, owners may also experience delays in getting replacements if parts are back‑ordered, resulting in longer wait times for repairs. Law enforcement agencies frequently advise owners to engrave their VIN or photograph parts, such as tail lights or glass, before installation. This practice helps substantiate insurance claims and can improve recovery chances if stolen parts are located. VIN‑etching of windows and components has been credited with increasing the odds of recovering stolen vehicles by authorities. Motor1 reached out to Alex via direct message.
