I have one of these on my truck. It's a keyed lock that prevents the tailgate from being removed but still allows the tailgate to open and close. Much handier than locking and unlocking the handle every time and more secure than a hose clamp. Also no tools required to remove the tailgate. Only $20
Once you hopefully find it or worse have to buy a new one. I recommend one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-8253DAT-Stainless-Tailgate/dp/B007OSL3DY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487945198&sr=8-2&keywords=ford+f150+tailgate+lock
I have one on my 2012 F150. Sure it isn't THAT difficult to get through, but anything that makes it take longer to take a tailgate figured could only help.
This is the one I bought.
