DIY vs OFT (Open For Theft)

[solartogo]

Seeing some of the latest pictures, with the exposed bolt heads holding things together, made me wonder how secure the Slate will be?

Might you come out of a store, and discover that a body panel or three are missing? Might panels be loosened, such that thieves could use a long reach tool to grab stuff out of the cab? Or are their sufficient bolts that require access to lockable compartments such that things will be secure? But could they still steal some of the bolts, possibly resulting in body panels flapping in the breeze as you cruise down the highway?

(OFT - open for thieves)

That topic is discussed in the Rich Rebuilds video

I'd say this is true of ever car on the road. Look under a car or in the fender well.
Could it happen? Sure, people vandalize cars all the time.

But could they still steal some of the bolts, possibly resulting in body panels flapping in the breeze as you cruise down the highway?

Legitimate concern. Maybe Slate should do proprietary bolts and include like 10 bits with every truck they sell.
