Wheels(almost) Stolen

m4a1mustang · 08-09-2010, 12:45 PM

I was thinking some gourmet coffee grounds. A nice "thank you" and also something to help keep them awake to stand guard for future offenses.

Hi All,
After reading everyone's comments I have a question. I was offered LoJack with my car......at a price of $680. I told them no way. Looking into it further I found that the retail price was $300. They were making a big profit. At first they offered it at $925. Does anyone know what a good price is and is it worth it? I don't want my wheels stolen or any other part of my car.

Nice glad u caught them in the act. Still would piss the hell outta me though that someone targeted and attempted to rob my wheels.

What I don't understand is sure the Z wheels are nice but I don't think they would look nice on anything except a Z or a G... I guess there is enough demand. And I guess that's proof that people will steal anything.

Think of this a supplement to your auto insurance and relax.

This isn't the Wild West. You can't use lethal force to protect your property... only life. If you were to shoot someone for stealing, or attempting to steal your property, you would find yourself in a huge mess of trouble and the inconvenience and legal fees would far outweigh whatever your insurance deductible is.

I am getting an alarm with tilt sensor and proximity as soon as I can

Here's an aftermarket alarm thread...
After Market Security Alarm

I asked the question in this thread, as I could not find much information on alarms in the forum.

The Thieves strike again. This time around 3:20am my dad woke up to go pee and looked out the window and saw two fat thieves about to take my wheels. When they notice him they ran. If a minute latter my wheels would have been gone. They took of all my lug nuts off and the car was already up on the jack when the thieves ran. They left behind there jack and two rocks. We called the cops, they came and we filled out a report. The cops said they were going to be patrolling my area more often at night. So now I have no lug nuts on my wheels. Now I had to go buy some new lug nuts. I keeping getting lucky. I might start a jack collection.

Damn dood. You are now marked. They will not stop until they steal your rims, then they will be coming back for more. Get a garage/dog/camara/9mm asap! LOL

I would be sitting outside in the dark with my 9 and waiting to surprise them. I would be having some fun yo!

BRING IT ON MOFO's!!!

TROOPER · 08-10-2010, 06:33 PM

NO WAY DUDE... You need to get a video camera.

These guys have to be connected with the others right?

Yeah, and that could get you shot.

Call the cops so they can write up a report and confiscate the jack/tools. I doubt they'd go through the trouble of pulling prints, but you never know.
