Are wheel locks ENOUGH?
I was wondering what the forums thoughts on adding auxiliary security systems to your ride is? I was considering adding a tilt sensor and aux alarm to make sure any theives are kept well at bay.
BUT...as they saying goes..."If they want it bad enough..."
SO, what do you guys think? Wheel locks enough or add a secondary system?

I have wheel locks on my curbed stock rims on my car, which is parked in the garage every night. Its one of those things- better safe than sorry. I wouldn't bother with the alarm system though. If they're going to try to take the wheels off with locks on them, then they're going to take the wheels off.

Viper 5901 alarm/remote start was the 1st thing I got for my TL. & Wheel locks came right when the tires got mounted onto the wheels & onto the car. Now I'm looking into the 507M digital tilt motion sensor next

If they want it they will get it or hopefully get caught trying. Otherwise that's what insurance is for.
And yes the trouble is what the F up trying to get the stuff. That pisses me of more so.

i have a 94 accord with two way alarm and all that...but still it got broken into right in my driveway twice without anybody in the house knowing...alarm didn't go off so if they want it they will get....luckliy for me they didnt take anything but loose change and just left the interior a mess...they also struck both of my neighbors all in the same night..

the only good point to have an alarm and wheels locks is to slow those fuckers down in their process and hopefully gives more time to be caught having more noise be mad

Ive had a couple scenarios in the past such as losing my wheel lock key or buying a new car that didnt come with the key, and this experience taught me that wheel locks dont do much to deter theft.
All you need is a socket that is slightly too small, and a hammer, and that is your new key.
