yeah that is true.. lol iwhtin a week of this past january there were over like 4 accords sitting on bricks.. 2 of them happened on the same street the same night..crazy shit. then on that same street during the summer they took my cousins stock 3.5SE rims off his 06 altima. they left it on a crate..first time i've ever seen that.

but yeah, to anyone that doesn't have wheel locks, put em on cuz it's not worth going through the trouble.

The TL probably had OEM wheel locks... why bother? OEM wheel locks are overpriced, and I believe they're all similar. All the thief needs is to go to Acura and buy a new wheel lock key, or better yet just steal one. Then he has the key to ALL your wheels.

Go out and buy aftermarket wheel locks.... Muteki is a good brand.

i think OEM locks are McGard, which are pretty good. i dont like gorilla cuz you can just hammer a socket on them.

You have to add the shock sensor to the alarm first....
if the burglar decides to hammer a socket or anything, the shock sensor will definately go off. atleast i hope....
