"I'm telling you this from the heart, if you've got a GMC or Chevy truck, you've got to do more. You can't just cross your fingers. We are past that," said Houston Police Department's Auto Theft Sgt. Tracy Hicks to a local news station.

According to Hicks, theft rings have devised a method to steal 2017-2021 GMC Sierras and Chevy Silverados without breaking any glass. The thieves are so well-trained they can boost a truck in just minutes. And because they’re so similar, these criminals will also go after GMC Yukons, Chevy Tahoes, Suburbans, and Cadillac Escalades from the same model year range.
