Stolen Rims Are a Thing Again

Seen some news articles recently in CA, there has been uptick in stolen rims, targeting Toyota and Honda vehicles. People waking up in the morning to find their vehicles on cinder blocks.

Time to get some wheel locks. Even though they aren't foolproof, maybe enough to sway the bastards to move on to another vehicle.

This is why I use threadlocker on my lug nuts. Red all the way, bay-bee! Gimme some of that acetylene torch action!

 

I use 2 different types of wheel locks. 1 type is my primary lug nuts which would be easy to remove I guess. The last lug is an Advanced Wheel Lock andI have that on all my wheels and spare. I don’t think there is anything else I can do to prevent theft. I guess that is what insurance is for.

 

I just got one on each wheel. Still better than none

 

All thieves need a baseball bat to the knee's, makes it harder to lift the wheels.

 

always something to steal..

 

Crime is a direct correlation to inflation. People need more money to buy the same things they did one year ago, so crime increases so douchebags can buy those same things. The purchasing market however is a different story.

Wheel locks only do so much, but for the common douche, they are a large enough deterrent.

 

since I'm in CA between LA and OC I just bought some wheel locks. just a deterrent of course, but should help. Meth heads everywhere these days. sucks

thanks for the heads up
