DynoLock Products wants to remind pickup owners, contractors and mobile construction crews that tailgate theft is an avoidable nuisance when working onsite during the warm weather months when outdoor jobs are more prevalent. Working onsite often means traveling to new places where security and surveillance aren’t guaranteed. During the summer months many construction and contracting jobs are done outdoors while the long days permit tasks that can’t be done in the winter months. This means that contractors and crews who travel with their tools in tow expose themselves to tailgate and truck bed theft when those expensive, critical tools and implements are left outdoors for long shifts, or even overnight. Many workers will secure their tools in a bed-mounted safe or tool box, but opportunistic thieves will remove these boxes altogether or cause severe damage to the truck body in the process of trying to extract the valuables.
