Look what I woke up to this morning!

Put a lug wrench on a wheel lock, then hit it with a hammer. The wheel lock is such soft metal, it deforms when hit and takes the shape of the lug wrench.
At least the thieves didn't drop the car on the ground.

lol in california, you'll get sued by the thief for millions.
You can't even shoot someone breaking into your house in california, you think burning down people in your car will pass?

Wheel locks don't help, especially for people willing to break windows.

If thieves really want something..they'll find a way to take it. Some thieves just tow your car.. They take what they want and then toast the rest to get rid of any evidence.
Happens a lot with hondas in southern california. I knew someone that had a viper alarm, fuel cut off switch and took off the steering wheel. They just towed the car from his drive way and stole the viper alarm and then dumped the car.
At least they left you the rest of the car...if this was a integra type R...it would be missing rims, seats, engine and hubs..

As a matter of fact, there was a story in our local paper a few weeks back where a guy broke into walgreens @ 3 am to steal the ATM machine inside the store & was $20,000 successful...
Those scumbags need to fry!!!

They'll be burning outside of the car, that's when you drive away and make a clean getaway.

If they don't find the cause of the fire, they'll blame it on spontaneous human combustion.

here's something thats actually do-able. Mercedes should program your seats to do this if the car is opened without the key...Maybe make the midget and pig as options...lol

I'm not sure why they took the plate off. I think it was to open the trunk. The trunk lever/handle was gone. I assume that's how they opened it. Does anyone know if the trunk will open by using the trunk release button inside after the window is broken?
Does the alarm really have a separate battery? If so, why did it stop? They didn't take the battery..it was just unhooked.
As for only taking 2 wheels..maybe they only wanted the 8.5's? They were interrupted? Arms got tired? I don't know..
Do they still make the Monoblock V's? I wonder how they will replace them if they don't?
Are there any kind of motion or paging alarms we can add to these cars? Thanks..
Sure sucks

Thats disgusting dude, sorry to hear what happened. That's like my worst nightmare. One of my first mods was a two-way pager alarm - that way if they try anything the car will make a lot of noise and hopefully scare them off. But these guys look professional and they were smart enough to disconnect the battery so i might consider a hidden battery in the future.
Good luck catching those a-holes
