If they hear it.......you missed. At least they put your's on blocks, I seen one on here that they sit the car on the ground. Good luck on finding them, and getting your new wheels.

Yeah I was at least slightly glad that they left in on blocks and not on the ground. I am sure I will never find the guys and I am sure they are not dumb enough to come back again knowing I am more prepared.

And if it was Santa I'm taking out his raindeer one by one.

Wheel locks are a waste. If someone wants your rims they'll get them

I understand what you are saying if they can steal $100k plus cars they can take rims off my car if they really want them. But the idea is to make it more difficult to take. I unfortunatly know the other side of the law, in my younger years, so I know a easy mark is better than one that may take more time.

Wow. What kind of damage did they do that it was that expensive to fix?

A friend of mine is the general manager of a Chevy dealer and was driving a 2010 2ss they had in on a trade. Apparently the previous owner modded the car so this thing was quicker than stock. So everyone at the dealer knew this car was pretty hot. While he has it in for service for an oil change someone just hopped in it and drove away. They get a call a week later, the cops found the car sitting on blocks. they figure it was an inside job but can't prove anything. He ate the cost of new tires and wheels so his dealership insurance rates wouldn't get bumped.
