This Lincoln LS owner won't be too happy when he goes outside

Pretty nice cars in that parking lot for RENTAL townhomes. (Expensive rims are also a waste, IMO, especially after they've been STOLEN!)

How can you tell they are rental properties?

Man. Were they not locked? These days if I had expensive rims I'd go the 'insane' route and get a different lock on each lug. So that would be 4 - 5 seperate on each individual rim, lol.

You know those are worthless, right? I watched a tow truck driver defeat one in about one second.

Maybe b/c of the FOR RENT sign in the first pic 🙂

Call me crazy, but it was the "For Rent" sign that did it for me.

I guess I didn't think the sign applied to the entire subdivision 🙂

(I wonder if they threw a brick at it as they were driving away?)

:beer: for obscure ATOT allusion 😀

I've seen this scenario before... usually when guys neglect to make their weekly payment on their nice shiny rims. It looks to me like they got repo'd. Life on the installment plan sux...

:evil:

I have that exact same jack. It's an MVP Pro-lift jack that I paid $16 for at Advance Auto Parts - absolutely the cheapest floor jack I could find. I bet they planned on leaving it there.

Hey man, that's been all the rage for a decade or two. Owning a vehicle whose payment + insurance + credit card payments for custom accessories and stereo equipment is more than your rent, often by a huge margin, then complaining that your employer is greedy and doesn't pay you enough because you're barely able to make ends meet, living from paycheck to paycheck.

Alternatively, if you rent a house, owning a vehicle whose purchase price + custom accessories + stereo equipment far exceeds the value of the home.

But the record number of personal bankruptcies has nothing to do with people's negligent fiscal priorities.

 

bahahaahh

should just weld the bolts to the lug nuts

 

[episodic]

They've got locking lug nuts that can only be removed with a certain key. . .

 

[5ayle]

Funny thread... love the allusion

 

[TechnoKid]

I am aware that locking lugnuts are not working as they should, but are there any out there that are really hard to get off?

An alarm with schock sensors won't do any good here. I have no idea how but they said that the thieves disable most alarms before going to work.

Not when you do the install yourself 😉

They just did a report down here in Phoenix and stated that rims are stolen, on average, one set a day. Scottsdale seems to get hit the hardest..the area is nice, but that doesn't matter.

My friend that lives in Arizona said that he has at least one person per week tries to steal his rims. I heard that a majority of people have remote pop lock and shaved their door handles to prevent this. It's a sad world when people have to resort to doing such things.

Doesn't really matter what type of security measures you do to your car, alarms, locks ect they just keep an honest person honest, if they really want to steal whatever, there going to get it.


I just don't give them a reason too think about stealing something off my truck ,hence I don't go about putting alot of money into rims and such.
