I don't think a Dak is any easier to steal than any other vehicle and
Daks don't generally show up on the "most frequently stolen" lists.
There is no such thing as "dealer keys". The reality is that there are
a limited number of key combinations that are used, far fewer than the
number of vehicles on the road. The keys to your truck probably fit
hundreds if not thousands of other Daks all across the country. If you
had the nerve to walk around trying your key in other Daks you would
probably open one before long. Sounds like that's what somebody did
with yours.
