Default Second time this year, My car was broken into. Heads up SoCal

Okay guys, second time this year my car was broken into. I know I should have learned my lesson the first time and put in an alarm but I don't have the money for one. They got my wheels and tires this time. I'm pretty sure they didn't take anything else. So if you see anyone selling some Si's with Zeix tires on them (Almost down to the wear marks) PLEASE let me know. I'm sick of people pullin **** like this.

Yes, but I learned a valuable lesson...Don't leave the key in the glove box.

Oh I did. I just found out they tried to steel the entire car but my kill switches stoped them. I guess they figured if they couldn't drive it, then I shouldn't be able to either.

Locking nuts are a joke. My brother and I have had 5 sets between us, each one of them comes with a key. That one key will work with all of our 5 sets.

Sorry to hear about your wheels man.

It still slows them down, I mean alarms are a joke and only work sometimes, but better than nothing, same goes for wheels.

Thanks for the support guys. My steering column is bent to hell so I'm gonna need a new one of those too. I'm just gonna have to layer my security. These guy(s) were obviously ametures cause they couldn't get past the kill switches. I still got my car and that's all that really matters.

We just took the car for a ride, steering column is seriously the reason for the bad drive. Also while turning it seems that when they dropped the car on blocks it fucked up his pass. side LCA or something (couldnt see what at this time).

If anyone sees any SI rims being sold let us know ASAP, we have a way to tell if its his rims or not. Dont let these guys get away!

you should run four different locknuts so they would need 4 keys

Stuff like this makes me want to boost a bonneville. My car too has been broken into twice this year. It's one of the worst feelings in the world. I'll be on the look out.

hey man sorry to hear about your car. Its sad that we live in a world full of scum bags who hate the fact they cant have what you have so they go off and steal your hard earn money. I know how it is my dads truck has been broken into twice this year and it kind of strange because their are days when my dad works late and the two times he forgot to press the lock button on his security system is the two times they got in so we are sure its some one close by and we know that they are teens as well because all they take are CD's, which shows how dumb they are since my dad has a baby seat, tons of quarters in his change slot, and a head unit and not once has that gone missing.

ight check it. you guys can put as many different lock nuts if you want to, but if some one really wants them they are going to get them. if your car doesnt have an alarm then you just made it 10 times easier cuz know they can take their time.. all you really need is no2 and you can freeze the lug nuts and break them. the only real way to keep it from getting stolen is 1. i cant remember what its called but they put a sensor pad some were in the dash. if you dont swip it with the sensor then the fuel pump doesnt feed fuel to the car. they anly get about a hlaf a block if that. 2. put it on bricks your self and doent put any thing in their that people would want. poeple suck and most are to lazy to work for what they want.
