When this happened to me the cops said, "You are lucky they didn't take the whole car."

Default Thiefs

There is no way you can stop a pro from taking your rims. It does not matter what kind of preventative measures you take(one lock , or 20 different locks)You are going to end up with 20 bolts with with 20 sockets laying by your car ,best case scenario. It can slow them down,but they will take it,if they want . Just make sure you got a garage to protect your investment and be careful where you park!

Here is a story for you. In 1994, there was a german guy that was on vacation at Black sea with his brand new Mercedes S500(best aftermarket alarm, blah blah blah) and somehow locked his keys inside. He called the local police tro try to open the car.In return, the police called a well known car thief for help. He shopwed up, told everybody to turn around so they can not see his methods. It took him about a minute.The alarm did not go off at all,doors wide open. Charged the guy 500$ for the favor.

OP, I hope you get your wheels back somehow.Looking at your picture makes me sick.

Volk GT-M Gunmetal w/ polished lips. Got em stolen in Fullerton Area but i doubt it will turn up...

Yea, there was really no way of preventing this..
it's just that the car's parked at such predictable intervals..
(work/home/sleep) i plan to garage it after this incident..

all and all.. thank you all so much for your concern...
