Nathan,

The people that did that must be put in much pain. Death is too fast, they must suffer a long long time. I'm sorry, I can't even look at that.

Get a different type of lugnut pattern for each lugnut, so 20 different ones Sure it may be a pain for you, but a pain for everyone else.

IMHO people stealing other peoples stuff isn't going to stop until someone gives the victim the right to do whatever it is they want to the theif. If they are not going to respect others stuff, then they should at least fear consequences.

Wheel locks don't do much good, like someone mentioned earlier, they just slow people down. At my job (Discount Tire), we have to break them often because people lose the key, and it isn't that difficult to do. Sorry about your wheels man.

Talking Sorry bout the wheels.

We had a truck stolen from inside our business. Loaded down with parts. There isn't to much you can do to stop criminals. They are sick people just lookin for drug money. We got the truck back a week later. The idiot tried to set it on fire with diesel fuel. Didn't burn very well. Needless to say the paint on the 98 flairside chevy was ruined. The insides were ruined as well. He threw up all over the place. Also he tried to man handle 1,200 lbs of metal blocks. I bet that hurt his back. The bed liner was tore all up. Needless to say we sold the truck the next day. There really is no law. The police just stood around scratching there head talking on the radio. My uncle found the truck. The thief was never caught. All i can say is just keep good insurance. It also doesn't hurt to have a gun. You never know what kind of situation you will get into these days. There are some sick people in this world.

That totally sucks.

I have an old well on one of the farms in the middle of now where if you need to use it, LOL

I put on some chrome wheels on my truck and it lives its life in a parking lot here at college, so I put on 2 Gorilla locking lugs, now I'm thinking about putting 3 more on thier. Mabee that will stop the deadbeat thugs that have no idea what they are doing.

Remember, if you catch them, certain guns have enough umph so be carefull and shot into something hard to stop the exiting bullet.

In NJ we have a large group of (for lack of a better term) illegals, that come up from south of the border.

We have the same issue in my area. They travel in "packs" of 5-10 and speak very little english. Additionally, they have put alot of locals out of work due to the fact that they will work for a much lower wage.

That is sad and they are not very gentle, did they do any other damage? Be greatful they did not take the truck.
They probably watched you for awhile and new your schedule.
They did that to a friend of mines truck, by pulling a big box truck in front of it why they worked on it, and nobody thought anything of it until the big truck was gone.
You have to keep it in site, The best bet is wheel locks, club, Alarm, Lighted area and in plain site of your window.
" Just be glad LIGHTNING doesnt usually strike twice"
again I am sorry to see that.
