Keeping Truck Gear Safe in Colorado

[Pikespeak]

Im unfortunately having to move back to Colorado after 6 years and one thing I remember from back when I lived there is I had to worry about people breaking into my truck at trail heads.

Is a truck cap enough to deter this or do I need something like a decked system?

It wouldn’t be very hard to punch a window out of a topper. I have one, and I lock it, but it wouldn’t be very hard to do.

I’d go decked or DIY.

With just a truck cap, all someone needs is opportunity and intent.

With a decked system/home built vault and cap, someone needs tools and time.

What state are you moving back to CO from where you don't have to worry about this?

Have you ever had your vehicle broken into at a trailhead in Colorado? If so which one? For what it's worth I've lived here my entire life and never had any problems with vehicles left at trailheads or even know anybody that has. I think the only trail parking areas I've even heard about break-ins occuring have been at the open space parks right near the city like in Jeffco and Boulder. Never the ones farther up in the mountains or accessing wilderness areas.
