Jason and I both use the covercraft soft tonneau on both trucks and have
never had anything stolen. (knock on wood). I try not to keep anything in
there that could hurt to lose though. I find if it's not in plain site the
temptation isn't there, but a lock may be an invitation. Funny, when the
creeps tried to break into Jason's truck, they wrecked the door, but the
tonneau and goodies inside were intact. Maybe just luck.
