Back in March I was greeted in the morning with my Max on blocks and the wheels stolen. By far one of the worst experiences I have had with a car. I went overboard and had locks put on each stud, one Mcgard and 4 Gorilla per tire. I was not going to have this happen again.
Fast forward to this morning and as I walked up to the car and see what looked like a socket laying next to my front tire. I pick it up and realized it was my Mcgard lock snapped off the stud. The bastards tried to take them again but I guess they realized that the other 4 lug nuts were actually locks. Looking at them the gorilla's look like ordinary lug nuts because the key pattern is back down against the rim.
For a change one win for me!!! I just need to get a new stud put on.
i think a security cam and a nice .45 should do the trick

Wow that is rediculous. Sorry to hear that. Where are you located? For the cost of all this you may as well build a garage
I live on Long Island in a complex. They want the Maxima 19" rim. They put the Infiniti center cap on them and put the wheels on **** box cars. They have no interest in the 18" rims.

That is horrible. I can't even imagine having to deal with that, or even the thought of it happening. I would absolutly lose it if I walked out to my car on blocks... Good idea with all the locking lugs though.
Yeah, I would support you put a video camera and buy a gun. And if you are to shoot, shoot and don't miss. For all the hardship that these thieves cause to innocent people, I support anybody who will protect their property in anyway they deem necessary.
This takes me to last week when I was driving to work and going past someones Denali sitting on bricks.I drive past this house everyday and i think the truck belongs to a cop and they hit his truck right in front of his house.
Unfortunately, the law doesn't allow us to shoot these worthless perps unless they have either attacked us personally, or have broken into our home, and are still in our home, in which case we can plead that we felt threatened.
So, if you see the cruds out there working on your car, have your wife ease the door open, and seductively call out 'Hey, plenty of beer in here big boy!. I'd enjoy a little company.' Then, as soon as the perp(s) are clearly inside your door, blast them to smithereens before they can duck out the door.
Harsh? Yes. But ever since my wife and I arrived home that blisteringly hot summer day almost twenty years ago, found burglars had bypassed our locked electric gates by driving a truck through the woods, right over our dogwood trees, and up to the garage, our heart sank. Both the front door and the door between the kitchen and garage had been smashed off the hinges, and the house had been stripped. All five closets had been totally emptied. All electronics were gone. All our clothes, memoirs, etc, were gone. Things like my wife's Father's bombadier wings from WWII. Her Mother's wedding ring. Etc. Things that can never be replaced.
Ever since that day, I have harbored a very bitter hatred for burglars. We immediately had the best alarm system we could find installed (I know; barndoor, horse, etc). For several years after that, I would sometimes turn off the alarm, then hide behind a large brick planter just inside the front door, armed with an automatic shotgun, just hoping burglars would break through that door. I would have immediately shot each one through the heart, then through the face. Then kicked their dead bodies until my feet hurt. I was that angry. Fortunately, I eventually regained some sense of reason. But I would still shoot the first person breaking through my door. Without hesitation.
My wife and I still find we tend to eat out at places where we can keep an eye on our vehicle from the table while we eat. She does it to humor me, as she knows how paranoid I am about folks messing with my car.
good first win...now you must come back again....WITH WEAPONS!! lol but ya man i would hate to wake up and see that....other day some punks came and busted my moms car for no reason....mines was right behind hers! phew!

Be careful protecting your property with a gun, unless you park your car in your house, cant shoot'm over wheels and tires.....

Actually, I live in a fairly rural county that has a reputation for being overly tough on crime. The local Sheriff has been known to send deputies undercover down to Carribbean Islands to nab perps who left the country to avoid prosecution. When a 911 call comes in around here, Sheriff's cars seem to arrive from all directions, a Sheriff's helicopter immediately arrives overhead, and police dogs begin popping out of squad cars. A rather intimidating sight.
My wife served on jury duty last year, and one trial was three teenagers who tried to sell dope to an undercover officer. The jury found them guilty. As first time offenders, the judge 'let them off' with thirty years each. In Atlanta, they would have gotten only a few years, and been back on the street in months.
I enjoy watching the local deputies. They run a huge drug sting operation, and repaint and use confiscated cars (which they 'hop up' in power) as patrol cars. Mustangs, Jettas, Mini-Coopers, PT Cruisers, Cadillacs, etc. Any vehicle behind you may be a sheriff's deputy in an almost unmarked car.
They also run an online 'entrapment' operation, luring lonely men from everywhere to what they think is a night with a 14 year old girl. They have arrested school superintendants, teachers, law enforcement officials, doctors, etc. I can't believe there are souls who don't understand almost any '14 year old girl' offer on the internet HAS to be a sting.
But I ramble. With our security system (with every backup system we could find, including three sources of power and three means of transmitting the alarm), and the alertness of the local Sheriff, we no longer worry much about burglars.
I still have locks on the wheels of my Maxima, and our garage has two alarm sensors.

Nah; Fayette County. Where criminals risk everything by even daring to enter the county. But I notice you are in North Carolina. I am a Tar Heel (UNC-Chapel Hill), and, in addition to living everywhere from Los Angeles to New York City, I lived in over a dozen places in North Carolina in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. I love North Carolina; beautiful Outer Banks, clean beaches, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the highest mountains east of the Rockies.

I'm glad you didn't get got again. Think I'll finally put my locks on, I've been too comfortable since I have a garage. My son uses my car once in a while and parks on campus.

Very glad to hear that those thieves didn't succeed a second time. Every thief has his limits and layers of deterrents like that were more than enough in this case.
30 years for selling dope! I do love the USA, but there are occasionally some things that have me shaking my head in disbelief. In my opinion being DUI would be much worse than that, and I doubt second degree murder would have brought 30 years. (or would it light ?! sounds like the judge is keen to keep his jurisdiction squeaky clean)

I agree justice varies far too widely across various jurisdictions (and sometimes within the same jurisdiction). So many terrible murders in recent years were committed by felons with rap sheets dozens of pages long, who were out on the street legally. Then some here may remember the judge in either Griffin GA or Macon GA about ten years ago (made national news) who sentenced a teen to 10 years for stealing an ice cream cone. I think the term 'Justice is blind' should be replaced with 'Justice is inconsistent.'
I'm glad you stopped them cold but I would suggest investing in a video camera and a Desert Eagle .50, now I'm not saying shoot the little bastards but do what a buddy of mine did when we were out partying on his B'day and someone tried to steal his rims and we caught the guy.
We watched this fool while he removed the last lug nut off the final of the 4 rims he was stealing, then my boy pulled out on him. Needless to say the look on his face should've been used on one of those Master Card commercials-you know the one "Priceless".
Long story short, he didn't shoot the guy but he made him mount all the wheels back onto the car at gunpoint and after the poor bum finished he commenced to giving him the best Pistol Whuppin this side of Hell.
I sat back and enjoyed every minute of it, it was brutal and deservedly so.
Just because you have a gun doesn't mean you have to shoot them, pistol whuppin is more fun and just as effective and highly respected by the law.

Amazing story.
I take it that the idiot got the whuppin becaused he over-torqued the lug nuts
Is this Extreme Own or Ultimate Fail?
