Default First Mod You Should Get....

Locking Lug Nuts.

I woke up this morning to find that my wheels/tires had been stolen. Nothing else was disturbed on the car. At least the thiefs did leave their jack *w/o the handle* on one side and a flat stone on the other so that the rotors did not hit the ground.

My dealer was very excellent as he found 3 donuts to allow me to get it towed (otherwise...they would have had to drag the car onto the flat bed....Yea..right).

I know that if a thief wants to have something, they will get it, but wheel locks are the only thing I can think of right now that would have detered or hindered them. Guess if they needed the wheels that bad, a stealthy flat bed would have come by in the night and my entire car would have been gone.

I'm waiting for the pick-up truck now.

Check in later.

Wow! Sorry to hear that. Thank goodness my dealer threw in the locking lug nuts for free. This was the only deal I got but I am glad they threw it in.

Look on the bright side, rims and tires are easy to replace. They are costly but now you can get some sweet rims! Good luck.
