"People suck." It's sad that that's a motto I've come to live by.

Did you have locking lugs on your rims? If not, I'd say it's time to invest in them... (something I should do as well)...

If you did have the locks, then I don't even know where to start.

Yes, had wheel locks. They busted out the window and rifled around inside until they found the lock.

My friend told me I should keep the wheel lock in the car in case a tire blows out, but after reading this, I think I'll just carry the wheel lock with me from on now, not that big of a hassle being it's a weekend car.

This is so messed up. They even broke the windows and messed up everything to get the wheel lock key. Makes me want to puke.

After reading that I will always carry the wheel lock on me.

I'm sorry to tell you but that will not deter the thieves, it just slows them down a couple of seconds. There videos all over the net showing how to remove a wheel without the key. You're in for a surprise how quickly it can be done.

You don't have to be sorry, ANYTHING can be stolen, but I rather do something then nothing. I took a cable tie and attached to lug key to carry around easily.

Are there no security cameras on the lot? This suck balls dude. I'm sorry to see this happening to anyone, let alone another Z. For what it's worth your insurance should pay you full value for the wheels and cover the damages. Use the money to pick up a nice set of aftermarket wheels. I hope that will at least make you feel better about the whole thing. Makes me sick to my stomach seeing these pictures. I pray the thieves run into the wrong person one day and get their asses turned inside out!

Redhorizons · 05-03-2015, 05:25 AM

Unfortunately there are no security cameras.

I'm from pg County so I'm definitely not surprised. That really sux man I'm sorry you had to deal with that. People like that have no respect for the hard work it took to buy your car... Just sux

This sucks. I know your pain, for the same thing has happened to me on my 2006 Maxima a couple years ago. I have since had a viper alarm system installed with the tilt sensor and I have 2 sets of wheel locks on each tire. (More peace of mind I guess) I live in PG county, MD. The two sets of wheel locks will at least deter and slow the process of even trying to steal the tires from potential thieves.
