I come out my house to go to work this morning I get into my car and start to back up. Suddenly I feel the rear dip to the right like it's a flat or something. I get out and look and see no flat tire at all. I standing there like wtf!! I noticed the rear wheel was sticking out way past the rear quarter and was like ok that's not normal. I noticed the lugs were missing all but one so I checked all the other wheels and they were missing 4 lugs on each wheel too. They are trying to steal my Type S wheels!! It turns out they also broke into another car on my street as well. But they didn't touch my Integra at all I hate damn thieves!!!! I'm gonna catch them thats for sure and when I do I'm not calling the cops at all.

 

damn!!! you lucky. Wheel Locks FTMFW!!

personally i would've been all over that gs-r and said F the TL

 

your lucking thats the power of wheel locks, good stuff bro, where was your TEG, on the street?

 

Dayum, that bites. Did they leave the lug nuts lying there? Hope you catch those punks!

 

all these threads bout wheel thefts (and possible wheel thefts)...ugh..gonna be a long summer, it seems. At least the wheel locks did their job.

 

i hate thieves!!!

where do you park your car at nightly? streetside? driveway? apt complex?

just curious.. it seems alot of this is happening on the side of the street

 

I'm glad you still have your shoes for your car. I remember reading a post the day after Easter about some dudes type-s wheels being stolen out of his driveway. Holy crap man, whats with people stealing stock wheels? If you're gonna steal something, why not go all out and get a set of aftermarket wheels?

 

Things are running amuck in Boogie Town. It sounds like it's time for lug locks for your wheels Cuban.

 

most thieves would of targeted the GSR (me being a victim myself) but that sounds pretty strange that they would continue to take off all 4 lug nuts on every wheel even though the lock was preventing them from taking the first one

 

locks are no good. lol

its a shame its a universal key on us 2G TLs and 1G RLss

 

park your car in the garage, or invest in 5 different wheel locks!

 

1 time for CUBA! lol j/k

Im cuban too..

 

Me too hahah

you are lucky man
hahah i though abou that

 

yup those thieves all deserve more then a whooping... i suggest what i did ... and that's installing cameras since i cannot park my car in the garage do to some machining tools.... i put up cameras

 

damn dat suks bro

 

haha love your avatar OP

 

That would be me, what sucks is that after something like this happens you get paranoid even in your own house, i have to go through the hassle of moving cars every morning because i have to park my TL in the garage.

 

Maybe the thieves wanted your lugnuts or wanted to mess with you possibly. I know theives are dumb, but why they couldn't see those locks and work on the locks first before taking the other lugs amazes me if they really wanted your wheels.

I'm also wondering what's up with all the TL wheels getting stolen. Perhaps theives are taking them because they need new tires and stealing wheels are cheaper than popping for tires. Not sure on that theory. I remember in the late mid-80's when Toyota Pickup cab vents were getting stolen all over San Diego - never figured that one out either but know the crummy plastic vent cost about $50 to replace- go figure on how that theft wave started.

 

It's all a conspiracy by the dealers to increase business through new accessories and wheels.

 

I didn't have locks on at all when they did this. And I don't know why they didn't go for my teg but if they would have my alarm on that would've sent them screaming away cause it's loud as hell. I just put locks on it this morning after all this happened. And all 3 of my cars are parked on the street but not in the Boogie Down!!! I had my teg then my accord then the tl all in line parked.

I also found out the other car they broke into they threw a rock through the windsheild and took the gps out of it. I'll be sleeping with one eye open for a bit and let's just say I have something nicely pointed in the direction of my cars. I won't hesitate to pop it and go right back to sleep and leave them laying there til the morning. But I got something more devious planned if I get my hands on these assholes.

They must've been amatuers though cause why smash a window with a rock just for a gps and then jack my lugs in the hopes of getting my wheels and don't actually take them ya know. My guess is either they got spooked by something or thye didn't come prepared to do the job!! either way they got something coming to them!!

Btw thanks for all the comments guys, I guess we gotta keep our eyes open now it's about to get hot out here!!!

 

damn that sucks, at least you quickly realized that you were missing the lugnuts and didnt start driving on 1 lug

 

damn man at least you had the locks. my eg hatch got stolen in jan and i was heated there goes 20k of investments. i now have a camera facing out my window and a CWP. screw jackers

 

As i said in previous "stolen" threads. Tis the season, with summer coming peeps are on the prowl. Be careful with what you do Cuban. And if i were you next couple days be on the alert. Im in the BX as well what section are you in. Someone mentioned in one of my threads after my acura symbol was stolen from my driveway.. TRUNK MONKEY??

 

Damn, those Type-S wheels must fetch a pretty penny on the market.

Glad I park on a nice incline.

 

OP, sounds like it could have been worse. Consider yourself lucky!

If your wheels do get stolen, I bet you'll find them on CraigsList.

As for me, I rock 2 different sets of locks and every nut is a lock!

 

$hit like this is what get people paranoid. ( had my wife check the car in the garage cuz im out of town) its been a week so i had to check LMAO

op, your probably right they didn't come prepared for the job or just wanted to see you f*k your car up. at least they left 1 lug on instead of none and you try to drive off. that would've been alot worse than them just stealing 4 lugs off each tire.

 

Trunk Monkey (shotgun version).........chick chick

 

Summer is here and a bunch of losers are out on the prowl with nothing to do. Glad you still have your wheels, Lynx. I'm seeing to many threads about wheel thefts and
break-ins. I guess it's time to polish the old steel and clean the chambers.

 

holy shit what id do to those motherf*kers if id catch em! Id break all their fingers and kick their teeth in.... lets see if they wanna steal after that!!

 

Trust me i am gonna catch them cause now me a few neighbors are on alert so if one of us catches them we're all coming out but I'm gonna be on some next level sh*t I got something very horrific planned for them. Btw this didn't happen in the bronx it happened in westchester. and this is the first time something like this happened in 10 yrs on this street.

 

dangit.. i bought my TL because my Civic got stolen.. sold my s2000 so my seats wouldnt get stolen.. and now all these tl wheels getting stolen!! ARGH.. good thing you had wheel locks man!

 

guess I better get another set of wheel locks
