... of four wheels/tires. In the middle of the night someone felt the need to steal all 4 wheels and tires off her 2008 honda accord ex-l.
The assholes left her car standing on 4 milk crates. Insurance covered the theft but she still has to pay $500. This is some fucked up shit. If I catch these bastards I'm going to chop their nuts off.

they were alloys, whatever the car came with. It's a lease so IDK if it had wheel locks...

People over here started stealing the wheels off luxury cars. It's easier than breaking into the whole car and you can sell a set of wheels from a bentley or something for around £2K. Easy money.

I would feel extremely fortunate that that's all they stole and that the losses were only $500.

Maybe in money that's all they lost, but what about the feeling of security? The shit got robbed outside their house while they were sleeping. How fucked up is that? We live in a pretty quiet neighborhood too (I live down the street from them)

Even still, the worst that happened was their tires got stolen. The car wasn't broken into, no damage to the house was done, etc.

lock lugs are easily bypassed still a good idea as they will stop the casual thief, but will not stop a determined one.

Casual theives are by and large the only kind you need to stop.

There's not that many determined, intelligent criminals out there. Those sorts of people generally end up with a profession.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

There's this area in L.A. that is predominantly a middle class black neighborhood. Basically kids in stable families. Yet, you leave your car outside the garage, you get your wheels jacked. Likewise with a certain middle-upper class neighborhood in San Diego with rich spoiled asian streets racers.

Doesn't sound very stable middle class if you get your tires jacked.

Yeah, the irony. Financially stable, but morally unstable.

My first thought would be they have a good chance of not even knowing about them and most people don't think about using them unless they have aftermarket wheels or a highend car, not an Accord.
