Hey Rees, I got your message yesterday. Forgot to call ya back though. Sorry!
Anyways, here's what mine looks like. It's a bit different than your setup.
Not sure if he had an alarm. I don't think he did. They busted up the column and lock cylinder to start it. There are a few things you can do, but if they want to get get it, they're gonna get it.
Great news! The truck has been recovered and it is in good condition or as Brian put it, "not bad at all". It was found just a couple miles from his house in a nearby neighborhood.
