You could upgrade your alarm and get a tilt sensor. Like this:
Digital Tilt Motion Sensor

^^^Thats what I have. Along with the 3303 model system.

damn sorry to hear, can only imagine what it would be like to come out and see that!! as someone else said, it sucks but you will get a payout from insurance and can buy aftermarkets if you wanted a different look

(I know, try to turn a positive out of anything!) Hopefully nothing else is damaged by the way they dropped it.

i also recommend you folks parking out doors get a tilt sensor. wheel locks slow theives down, but they are pretty easy to remove.

Sorry about your wheels... this has been an ongoing problem in our area... All higher end cars have been targeted. We even had the police come around in our neighborhood and warn us because we had the vehicles being targeted. Defiantly looking to get the tilt sensor in next week. Luckily there are a lot of places in south Florida. Good luck.

So my insurance company approved and cut the check with my name and the dealers in the pay to section. my question is the following, if in the estimate the dealer put Yokohamas but I prefer the bf goodrich is that going to be a problem?

Sucks man... They probably dented your rocker panels too with the bricks. I've had to get mine fixed because the dealership's techs don't watch their liftpoints.

I effing hate thieves...and jealous fools. I hope they're caught man.

wheee! · 11-28-2013, 09:58 AM

Proper locks ordered in December 2009 for my 2010 Z...

May the thieves slide under a gas truck and taste their own blood.

It was about 2 weeks ago, I witnessed a wheel theft in person.
I was at a mall around 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and there was a guy standing next to a brand new escalade sitting on a hydraulic jack. I just thought he had a flat so I just parked my car in front of him and walked into the mall (Brea Mall in Socal).
When I came out 2 hours later the escalade was sitting on bricks with all 4 wheels gone. I couldn't believe it. The thieves stole the wheels during broad day light on a Sunday at a busy mall parking lot.

I was just glad that they didn't decide to take my wheels too. If any local member decides to go to this mall, should be really careful as the mall security guard said this happens quite often at this mall.

One word - Garage. Your car is more important than your professional Beer Pong table. When i lived in an apartment in my 350Z days i required them to have garage units before i would move in. If you must park outside tilt sensor is a good idea or park on an incline of more than 20%

/Angelo350Z/ · 12-05-2013, 06:12 PM

Hope you get your wheels soon and your Z back to 100% OP. I can imagine how upsetting this whole thing is.

Boomer370 · 12-06-2013, 08:12 AM

That is SHITTY man!

I hope the guy that took them get run over by a truck!

One question, how did you get the car home?

Did you just get another set of wheels to put on?

The tow truck guy had to get approval from the dealership manager to unmount the wheels and tires from a floor model nismo and that was after he came to the scene with 4 regular donut replacements that did not fit because of the brake caliper.

So I decided to get the '13 gunmetal version...same price and they weight the same.
