Well it happened to me....

[rexman2002]

It's easy to get wheels off that have wheel locks.

agreed, didn't stop them from taking my si wheel

 

[cerasoli1188]

damn sorry man GL on if they find em... man aton of this kind of stuff goin on in FL lately wtf

 

[johno590]

Yeah I'm about to say screw the si wheels... just go for something aftermarket ... but if wheel locks dont really work what do I do?

Oh btw I'm supposed to live in a gated community that was supposed to be locked "for sure" by June 6th.. and there is supposed to be surveillance cameras throughout the parking lots... maybe I can get some footage or get our damn gates working...

Did they break the radio/climate control bezel? I found it was difficult to find a replacement that didn't have the vents broken out of it.

I found mine easy to replace when them bastards got into mine.

OP: What type of wheel locks did you have?

Replacing it WAS easy.

When I looked for a used one (locally, online, eBay, etc.) for a decent price I continually found they had the top vents broken out of the assembly.

I didn't have wheel locks... Something I should of gotten, but like others said it probably wouldn't have stopped them.

wheel even " If " it wouldnt have stopped them, im pretty sure it would of slowed them down on way or another.

Ahh, should of contacted Evan, He was able to hook me with something.

I'd say it's a bit more traumatizing to walk out and not see you car at all, not knowing if you'll ever see it or if you do what kind of condition it will be in.

You're lucky they fingerprinted it. They wouldn't deal with mine, but they finger printed Jason's when it was broken into and left in the road.

I'd say it's more traumatizing to see your car like his. The fact that someone else was in your car, got in but didn't take it, whats going to stop them if they do it again?

I guess I got the best of both worlds then.

Granted that if I look out the window and I see my car is GONE, I can assume some stranger was in my car and that it could happen again still. Only at the moment I also have no idea if I'm going to get my car back, if it's gone headfirst into a wall on the interstate, if it's been torched, if it's being cut into pieces as I call the police.

Basically if the car is gone I could end up finding it exactly as he found his in the parking lot, only I had the added stress before of having no idea what happened to it.

I would have much rather woken up to my car with no wheels than my parking space with no car.

Thats true. when my first hatch was stolen. popo's found it wrecked in a different city. When I went to see/grab whatever belongings I had in there. I busted into tears. Tow guy said that the guy hit a tree and and just ditched it there. the front support beam was all the way under the car. bumper wasnt there, radiator was smashed into s**t and the header was smashed into the head/block, hood was basically ripped off. To be honest. I honestly do know how how that bastard survived a crash like that.

/cry

What was your first car?

I can't even imagine stealing a car or breaking into one. I don't even think I could get myself to take a valve stem cap from someone else's car, much less something that they might care for.

 

[mylovehx]

that blows

 

[johno590]

Someone in my complex said yesterday they saw someone in a white civic stop behind my car and rev the engine? WTF? lol

 

[alexdelsol94]

mabe he wanted to park race? i hate theives they are just low lives. killl them allllllllll

 

[johno590]

Yeah hopefully I'll be getting some replacement rims within the week.

 

[johno590]

Some dude in the area hooked me up with a set of steelies so now I can drive to work... but damn the insurance company is dropping the ball on this. I have NC insurance and Im down in Florida... They have assigned me two people in NC to look at my car but guess what? IM IN FLORIDA... these people are idiots. I dunno how many times I gotta tell them I'm in Florida before they give me someone in Florida to look at it?

 

[2000 EKCivicEX]

man sry to hear dude i cant stand theives. they dont even have the common courtesy to leave the car atleast on blocks

 

[lawrenceashley]

WTF! I've been seeing alot of car thefts lately here in CC. We should do something. f**k THIEVES!

 

[frankotah]

sorry for your loss bro.. seems like more and more car thefts are occuring..

 

[whitey53005]

Just reviving because I didn't want to start another one of these threads but my car got broken into last night. Entire drivers side window smashed and they took my stereo and just messed up the rest of the dash around it. I'll take pictures when I get home from work and post them. Just makes me so angry.

Window already got replaced as well.
