First S550 wheel theft I've seen

[Charles147]

Anything I hate worse then a liar is a THIEF....and nobody saw anything in a big parking lot like that???....I'm sure it had to take some time even removing 4 tires quickly...BAST*RDS!!!!

If the car was targeted...not long. 5-10 minutes tops.

They likely used a SUV and not a truck to carry the wheels. Certainly don't want to be noticed having a truck bed full of wheels.

i think the video was shot in maryland

Oxen Hill...explains it.

I grew up in PG County. The majority of the county you might as well be taking your life into your hands the majority of the time.

Not surprised, Landover, Oxen Hill, Suitland, Crossland etc...just bad bad areas.

when you see that 99 dodge stratus rolling around with black PP wheels with the "pony" logo on them...you know who took your wheels and its time to regulate their ass

Security package should also have the tilt-sensing alarm. Gotta take the locking lugs off while the alarm is blaring...That's a whole lotta attention.

the owner may not have push the lock button twiced

u mean thieves dont have access to these?

What's the point of wheel lock's then! Also wondering if wheel lock key's are unique?

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

I never put my wheel locks on... too worried about not having the key in the car if I get a flat and need to put on a spare.

Where do you keep the wheel lock keys? Don't you just leave them in the trunk or something?

I have the optional "20's...

Gorilla Guard #61641 with one key (14mm X 1.5 long) ...#616412K with two keys...they fit perfect...and don't stick out...barely noticeable...

This is where I purchased mine...

$16.88 (full set...with one key) plus shipping... http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR61641.htm

$19.84 (full set...with two keys) plus shipping... http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/GOR616412K.htm ...I ordered 2 keys package in case I lose one...

No lock is perfect...but these have a rotating outer sleeve...and will slow down amateur thieves...and hopefully they'll move on to an easier target...


:doh:

These are the ones I've considered but saw that they have rust issues. I've been wanting to get gorilla lugs for a while now but I have not seen a set that doesnt have corrosion issues.

Also, this can remove those

Why oh WHY was this video shot in portrait mode? Really a mistake.

If I came out and my wheels were taken I would really be shocked, have had my car broken into but never wheels stolen...

I hate vertical video myself. Can't stand it.

Jesus that's my worst nightmare next to the car being vandalized.

They have stolen perhaps the most idiotic wheels to steal. I mean, they're branded with the logo of the car they came from. Any cop worth his or her salt will realize that logo doesn't exist anywhere else on thugbro's tinted lifted spraypainted rust covered 01 crown vic.

Agreed.

Our HS Football coach told us at halftime to wear our helmets to the locker room from the field....you know the area is not safe.

I've had no problem with rust issues on past Gorilla locking lugs...but...I use a shot of WD40 on them every 30 days or so...
