Sucks to hear...no wheel locks? I know they aren't fool proof, but at least a small deterrent.
What wheel locks if any do you have on yours??? and they got me in the Bronx.
the cop said its been going on for a while now. When the weather heats up in Nyc the rats come out their holes..U already know that I'm sure!

To bad i cant afford garage parking right now. Its funny because the only thing i was worried about with this vehicle was tire related , Snow (it snowed here 2 days ago and i found out that day that summer tires and winter snow don't mix i had zero traction! ), i could care less about road noise i invite it!, and the eye catching sport rims. Every walk out to my car my heart skips two beats hoping my rims are still on my vehicle every time!!!

It looks like the towing company may have really screwed up the bottom of your car by dragging it up with no wheels on it. Make sure you have the dealer thouroughly inspect the bottom of the car for damage , floor, frame , brakes , suspension and have it added to the theft and damage claim.

Yea i was watching them like a hawk! the car is new so the dealer will be going over every thing. hearing that scraping sound as he was towing was worst then having wisdom tooth pulled with out meds.

I would have just left the car their and found 3 more donuts to put on her instead of letting it drag on the ground. Also looks like your front driver side bumper is coming off?

Yea man that's what i was thinking but my money is short and the car is new so i don't think i should have any problems with them fixing it brand new. Yea i need a whole new bumper any way because the milk bandits didn't balance the car properly so the whole left side bumper and wheel well is bent.

I got a viper alarm system w/ a tilt sensor for this very reason. When you arm the car it calibrates itself to set the alarm off if it detects any change in the level/tilt of the vehicle.

What do you do when it goes off??? is what I'm worried about! that's the one i was looking at also. I cant go to prison for a couple of low lifes!!! You call the cops at the time it goes off 15-20minute response time if your lucky! Either way its a efedup situation. I might have to pay for parking in my neighborhood..Cant pay for garage parking every where you go tho, it only takes 5 min for a crew to take your wheels. I seen a cop car on bricks before. Its a dam shame we work they steel and their good at it!

At least down south (where you and i have cousin who lives in NC) you can apply and receive a gun permit here in NYC you go any where near a gun you get 4 years in jail! I was thinking about getting a tilt sensor alarm 2 days before this happened but something told me not to because i know if that thing goes off i go off and that equals jail time for me which is sad when your just trying to protect something that costs $31,864.14. Got to formulate a plan to protect my property with out having to ruin someone.

Arrrg, heartbreaking stuff man. So sorry to see that happen but its nice to see you're in good spirits.

Like many of you, it wouldn't be a pretty sight if I was able to catch 1 or 2 guys in the act. I know many feel its just metal etc etc but its the principle, the violation and the fact that I work hard for my stuff.

Sounds like your insurance will be taking care of you properly

Sorry to hear.

I really like how you are handling this, you don't seem to upset.

Anyways why did the tow company take the car away in that matter? Couldn't something else have been done? Put on spares then move the car or something?

Whatever the case the people will get what they deserve. Damn scums
