New Rims! (They make me wanna cry)

Yes, I'm sure even if the socket were to fit, hammering 20 of them on would get someone's attention and take alot of time. I still like the free spinning ones, I'm def. gonna get a set because I just put brand new 18" staggered chrome Saleen replicas on my car and I'll probably have a heart attack if they are ever taken!

The locking lugs The_Mustang had first posted about are the ****. cant get them off with a socket..

So **** does come around twice, last Friday Morning i was awaken to 2 kids trying to get my hood open.. I went trunnung outside bare foot, climbed down the balcony real quick and speared the ***r with thew screw driver fondling my latch. luckily took both kids down. one got up and ran while the other took about 5 punchs to the face, my neighbor is a good friend and sheriff. he came outside and saved the kid from further beat down. Long story short, kids had priors for theft and were on probation. i was asked stupid question by the cops and gave truthful answers which almost got assault charges pressed on me for breaking the kids nose and bruising his ribs. i didnt find out until today that no charges were going to be filed against me, so i sweated that all weekend..

yeah vigilante justice will get you in trouble, but that ******* thats a crack/coke dealer and theif has been ripping people off and selling dope to kids for atleast 7 years. what i did to him isnt even enough to make up for the **** he has done..

plus these two kids Friday were lucky as hell i had just woken up and didnt get a bat or gun.. So see i boasted about whoopin a theif and another tried to steal my car a few days later..

good luck to you, but invest in the good wheel locks and an alarm.

What's funny is I envisioned almost the exact same setup before finding them online. I would just sit and think of a way to keep thieves from taking the lugs off with sockets.

serious???!!!!
i think its time to move.
sorry this is happening to you.

sounds like you need to start sleeping in a car next to yours n surprise those fools who are doing this and teach them a lesson

As soon as my lease is out I'm GONE. I found out too late that the previous people who lived in my apartment had their apartment broken into, as did the neighbor. They also had their car broken into and had their radio stolen. I moved out of what everyone in Knoxville perceived as the ghetto, into what everyone says is the nice side of town. Bunch of bull crap that is. No biggie this time though, I at least got full coverage after last time so my insurance is going to cover it.

I'd look into breaking your lease. The legal concept of "quiet enjoyment" may apply. Generally speaking, "quiet enjoyment" is read into any lease agreement, whether or not it's actually written in. Do a google search. You could at least make a claim that the landlord's inability to provide you a reasonably secure place to park is a violation of your quiet enjoyment rights. He has no real remedy to offer you to provide secure parking, but he could allow you to break your lease with 30 days notice as a reasonable compromise.

It never hurts to ask...
