There's no question that Texans love trucks. Turns out thieves do too.
"They're easy to steal. They're highly popular," said Officer Jim Woods with the HPD Auto Theft Unit.
Woods said Ford trucks have taken over as the most stolen vehicle in Houston -- the F-150s for parts and the bigger F-250s and 350s for other crimes.
"From what we're seeing from the recovery reports they're taking the rear seat out of the pickup trucks and we're being told you can put anywhere from 12 to 15 illegal aliens inside that truck," explained Woods.
