Stolen Tailgates

I read an article last week stating that there have been a lot of stolen 24-25 Tacoma tailgates. Isn't it locked in position when you lock the truck? Doesn't it have to be lowered to remove it?

They can still smash your window, unlock your truck, then steal it. I think I'm getting a lock. Cheaper than a new tailgate - then painted - then programed.

The lock is definitely worth the few extra dollars, just hide the key somewhere in the truck so you always have it with you. I have had tailgate locks for years on my trucks and quite frankly I have never found a need to remove my tailgate so the extra hassle of a lock vs the additional security is well worth it.
