LOL... I try to leave my car in the driveway I don't like to put my car in the garage. I'm always scared that Josh will hit it when he's dragging the trash cans back in. Or whack it with a grocery bag that contains multiple jars of spaghetti sauce or trip down the stairs while drunk and land on it. .. Just too many possibilities!

sad thing is, these kinds of things are increasing with the way the economy is going... we are gonna start seeing more and more.

Im going to buy at least 2 sets of OEM locks.

Sad thing is that when I lost one of my lug nut keys the tire shop took them off in 3 minutes. They take a deep socket, hammer it on then use a breaker bar to remove them. If a thief really wants your wheels they WILL get them. Luckily in this situation they must have been scared off.

Goof, sorry to hear you had to go through this sh*t too. Atleast they didn't get anything but your lugnuts. Don't go to Best Buy for an alarm, they're amateurs. You wouldn't let Pepboys install a turbo kit on your car would you? Also, don't go cheap on the alarm. Buy the best one you can afford.

Amen. I don't have a Z anymore but atleast my STi sits in a garage now. God help anyone trying to mess with it. 45 caliber bullets leave very large holes in people.

F*ck Columbia. I've had a motorcycle stolen, a car broken into twice and one totaled. It may have been nice at one time, but now there's Section 8 all over the damn place.

The first 'mod' if you will even call it that was to buy a nice viper alarm with the 2-way. Good investment! I had it installed over @ CarToyz2 w/Arthur and co.

Even with the alarm I think I need to go purchase some more OEM wheel locks now

sucks to hear, happened to me as well. Walked out to my car in the morning after owning my GTS wheels for like 2 months, and my car was sitting on 3 bricks...Took me a little bit over a month, but I found my wheels, and got them back from the person that took them. It pays to know people. I had Rays locking short lugs on it, and the lugs were left in a nice neet little pile, with no damage on them.
