Those were one of the first things I removed from my MR2 when I bought it.
Why do you want them ,do you really think it would prevent someone from breaking into your truck?

A Blinking LED is better
The sticker tells the thief you only have the factory alarm, which lacks a shock sensor.
The sticker tells him "Smash the window, but don't open the door"
A blinking LED, on the other hand, lets him know you installed an aftermarket alarm.
Most aftermarket alarms don't have a motion sensor, so most of the time, when they see a blinking LED, they won't smash the window, but unmount a glass pane, which takes more time than a quick grab.
Wanna hear a funny story?
Ten years ago, I had the "Pulse" Pink Floyd CD, which came with a blinking LED, inside my car.
The thief carefully unmounted a window glass pane, lowered the window, got inside the car, stole my stereo, got out and left.
The car was just a few feet from my bedroom window, and he did all this without waking me up.
This shows you that safety systems just slow them down, and make them choose an easier target.
Considering all this, I do have an security system WITH a Blinking LED on my 4Runner.

some people care about the sticker based on two reasons,
reason one, car thieves can sue vehicle owners if the vehicle he/she is going to break in does not have a sticker or equivlent notice stating that this vehicle has alarm system. He/she may suffer heart attack when alarm sounds.
reason two, the sticker may help resale value though not too significant.

The stickers have nothing to do with resale value. If you get hurt in the process of committing a felony a lawsuit is considered frivolous and will not be heard by the Appellate courts. Another words if a thief suffers a heart attack and dies in the commission of a felony too bad. Or if they cut an artery and die of blood loss from breaking a window no legal recourse is available to the thief. That is a very good thing. Now if you shoot a thief make sure you kill him because then he can sue you. They really need to change the law.
