Thieves got me

[PMattras]

I would be pissed off if this happen to me. Sorry about your loss.

Craigslist has become a source for selling hot stuff, might be worth your while to scan the adds.

Sadly, wheel locks are a waste of time. Any good thief will have them off as fast as a regular lug. And so will the bad ones. On one of my previous trucks, I misplaced the wheel lock key, and I managed to get them locks off as quickly as the regular nuts

A friend who was a mechanic said the same thing, he said a pair of pliers and you can snap it right off.

Any thief can get a wheel lock remover kit on eBay for $25. I have similar stripped bolt removers that I have used on electric impacts to remove rusted or stripped bolts and nuts. Work just fine on locking wheel nuts as well.

 

It's horrible. I hate thrives. It only costs the hard working guy more money to have nice things. Had a truck stolen, had sleds stolen, had atv's stolen. Truck broken into a handful of times likely for spare change.

 

Canada is horrible for theft. They know they will got off with a slap on the wrist if even caught. Cops don't even follow up with b&e's on vehicles around here. They can't even be bothered to take a report. They just have a handy online form you fill out so you get a report # for insurance.

 

People say vigilante justice doesn't result in anything but bigger issues but sometimes some punks just need their legs broken.

I'd be out for blood.

 

Thieves are one of the lowest forms of life (only bested by wife beaters and pedophiles). They take from those who work because they're too lazy to do the same. Hopefully one day they'll steal from the wrong guy and get ventilated.

Sorry to hear man. The coming back the second time kills me. What pieces of shit, you know it's the same losers too.

I wonder if those wheel lock removal kits work on the gorilla mcgard style lug nuts. I have those on my wheels and I also have a motion detection camera and light over my drive way that send me pics when activated. The camera is a Foscam they work great.

Sounds like you need to borrow my 40 cal.

[SnakeEyeSS]

Holy smokes, SORRY to hear that. Get a night vision motion sensor pointed camera on your truck, preferable a WiFi one that can text your phone when it captures an image.

 

What's next is up to you.

Yeah, discount tire showed me how worthless they are when I lost my key and asked if they could get them off.

Regret you experienced such an ordeal.

 

There is a ancient African proverb know as "Every day is for the Thief, one day is for the victim", which if its any comfort to you, simply means that one day the bastards will be stealing at the wrong time, wrong place and will get the justice they deserve.

 

Happened to me with a new Corvette back in '03 and in a gated apt. complex in Houston. It also it happened within 30 mins of my parking the car, and my neighbors knocking on my door to tell me that they saw my car sitting on wood blocks. The cops who responded told me then that they see it every day!

Haha, screw the wheel lock remover kit. I took some old sockets and bashed them onto the locks with a hammer, then break the nuts off with the breaker bar.

And please don't leave your firearms in your vehicle, even if you're just going in to pay for gas. Thieves work really fast.

Hard to stop a thief when they have your firearm as well.

[austingta]

I f'n hate scumbags. Good thing you didn't see it happen cause then you'd be in jail too... or at least that's how i'd turn out.

 

The new wheels look awesome though.

In Texas you can blast the sh*t out of them while they are in the act and you will get no-billed. Really.

 

Mass. is not like that.
