um yea, don't bother with the wheel locks, if someone wants your wheels bad enough they will get them off. Also they sell something for like $12 on ebay that will take wheel locks off, no idea what it is called but I have seen it.
and like someone else said check your local craigslist but chances are they will be sold on the street.
sorry to hear about this though, that really sucks!

Tis the season, with summer around the corner and everyone getting their rides ready for the summer we should all be warned by this. Im assuming we'll be seeing alot of these threads next months coming. Be aware guys/gals careful where you park, careful of being followed cause all they gotta do is follow you to your destination and BAM gone. Just my opinion. Good luck and godspeed to those that still have our shoes.

Wow, I feel for you. I almost got my 99 Honda Civic Si stolen right in front of my house in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for Autolock they would have taken it. The dumbass that broke into the car didn't realize it was there and went thru the trouble of taking my whole ignition system apart which ended up costing me like $500. And like other people have mentioned, wheel locks won't work. All those do is slow them down. Get a good alarm and turn your steering wheel to the extreme left or right. Good luck!

Couldn't edit my other post but I just saw your WTB thread, they stole your STOCK TL 04-06 rims which makes it even worse...those things can be had for $4-500 with tires and all man...what douche bags.
And they put the bricks right under your rotor which is really fuqed up man... They could have at least put the bricks at the jack points....
Wow, just thinking about it more pisses me off.. i hope they rot or kharma bites their nuts off!

I guess I don't have to worry about anyone stealing the rims on my TL, since my wife has managed to scrape up the entire circumference of each wheel on a curb... *sob*
She did a doozie on the front passenger one last friday... Managed to scrape one of the spokes
(One of these days, probably pretty soon, I'll be trying my hand at a DIY repair job, based on one of the other threads)

I've got gorilla locks.
http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla.locks
But take a look at them, the original locks... Are not locks, they are not SAE or Metric heads. Everyone has a key to these.
The Guard Lock Are actually better (and work on factory rims). The outside turns so vise grips cant take them off.
Also your homeowners could/should cover this.. But the deductible might be a lot higher.

I think the OP is a little busy trying to find some wheels for his car. In the meantime, I'll help out by answering some of his questions here. I don't personally know the OP, but I did some searches on his behalf.
I found his location from another thread:
It's in the Dallas area.
And the sad pics of his TL
