Has anybody ever had issues with the bed storage cubby geting stolen?

[MikeS1942]

So weird question here but bear with me for a second. The Maverick is my first truck and I'm not used to an open bed. I'm used to a car or SUV where it can be locked up tight. Have you ever had your bed storage cubby cover/plate stolen?

I live in a rural area and don't have to worry about that but sometimes I head into the city for a costco run or a doctors appointment and there are people who will take anything thats not tied down, and that cubby doesn't lock so it can be a target for the right person. What they'd do with it, I don't know.

Again, stupid concern, I know. I'm just looking at the possibilities.

OK you confused me---you said the cubby got stolen. I'm thinking someone took the whole works out of the bed/fender. It's the door you're talking about. Oh yea--if it ain't nailed down it will make it to marketplace. Side bar hold-downs as well. If it's a Lariat, better invest in a hard tonneau or you may find a slashed tonneau in the morning with things missing. Ya gotta love this world we're living in, but it's all we got.

I agree with this, got one for my truck immediately after purchasing it. Don't have anything super duper important in the cubby as the combination can be a chore to deal with since it's small. I just have it for peace of mind!

I actually had worried about that so I purchased one of the steel locking replacements. Not that I keep anything in there that’s worth anything, but I just didn’t want the cover stolen.

So just out of curiosity myself. For anyone that doesn't carry anything it that cubby, or anything that important, why not buy a replacement if/when it gets stolen? Rather than buying one ahead of time and having a random extra one you probably won't be using again not trying to be mean or anything just curious. As a guy realizing that I've kept/collected too much crap in my small garage why have extra stuff taking up space?

Add a lock to your existing cubby door for around $10

If you have the desire and a little bit of DIY skill. You can replace the lock with a keyed lock for around $10

I wonder how many owners don't realize that the cubby has a false bottom?

Mabett doesn't make this locking cubby door and yopu can find the identical unit on either Temu or AliExpress for a lot cheaper.
