Put Wheel Locks on your E Class

I went out of town the other day and parked my car at the airport. When I came back I heard a squeaking noise coming from my wheel. I knew I was going to change my brakes soon so I thought nothing of it. My girlfriend of all people forced me to stop saying that didnt sound normal and refused to let me get on the highway. I stopped and found 4 lug nuts missing from my left rear wheel. Scary. The only thing keeping the wheel on was the wheel locks. Good thing I kept the 4 lug nuts when I added the wheel locks.

I'm just still trying to figure out who would do some crap like this. Why steal 18' AMG rims? WEIRD

"Why steal 18" AMG rims?" Because you have 'em and they don't! It's that simple.
