A Houston man discovered his GMC truck missing from his River Oaks driveway Friday morning, despite parking it in a well-lit area with surveillance cameras. The theft occurred around 3:30 a.m., with the owner realizing the vehicle was gone when he checked his driveway at 8 a.m.

The victim described the truck as his first major purchase that he had fully paid off. Security footage showed thieves targeting specifically his vehicle among more than 100 cars on the street, appearing unfazed by the illuminated driveway and camera spotlight.

Houston police are investigating the incident, which highlights a growing trend of professional theft crews targeting high-demand vehicles. The case serves as a warning to truck owners that even standard security measures may not prevent sophisticated theft operations, particularly for in-demand models.
