Angry Some People Stole My Wheels!!

I went out side and saw my truck on blocks and shifted to one side. I closed my eyes hopeing that I was just seeing things. Nope some *******s took them. I just cant get over it. I have never been soooo pist in my life. I only have 6646 miles on my truck. They had my truck all staked out to. It took them 5 min. there was alot of people around and no one that i talked to saw anything. There are cops that drive around all the time. I think about 5 of them and they didn't even see a thing. How worthless.

Wheel locks will only delay the inevitable. (By about 30 seconds) Better than nothing I guess.
I'd recommend the lock types with the lock design on the face of the lock itself and not on the side. (Such as Gorilla)
I have 2 types of locks by the way.. (Plus another one inside the cab with a heavier.. caliber )

Sorry, I think that wasn't very clear. Gorilla has a lock pattern on the (circular) side. Face pattern is manufactured by other companies. Can't remember what mine are. I'll have to look it up..

Sorry to hear hopefully they will catch those Pr!cks. Sounds like these guys who did this were professional and was planned out. I was just wondering what year was your truck and what kind of wheels. Ive also heard stories of people stealing the 01 tails off of 01 in the lots of dealers. Thats why i always leave my tail gate locked also they can pop that puppy off in a few seconds.

Go out and jack it up and take the spare tire off. Tell insurance agent they got all five and yea they are all the same. This will help against your deductable.

I don't know where you have to park at nite but if it is in your drive way they have a motion sensitve light you can buy that turns on automaticly when something sets it off. Mount if up high where they cannot remove the bulbs.

Heh...

My anti theft deterrant is the 6-cell Mag lite mounted in my rear window, allong with the 'This vehicle is protected by smith & wesson' vanity plate My truck gets left alone. If they think that they are going to get shot breaking into it, they stay away. Well, where i live, they do... I also have the traditional hick items in teh back of the truck (the 18 wheeler tire, and the big tool box).

The wheel locks may only delay a theft by a minute or so, but....

Makes it very LOUD to get them off.

Just a thought....

insurance fraud???

My Dictionary:

Insurance Fraud-(in shur anss frod) n. Rediculous charges drivers pay to insure that the company offering this service will bust your ***** and pinch every cent when a patron files a claim.

I saw your truck man, those custom wheels were the most expensive i've ever seen!!!! haha
