Someone tried to jack my wheels for xmas...
Some crazy guys made an attempt to take my wheels on tuesday during the day at work. We just saw the video tape and sure enough these guys weren't the smartest but they were pretty quick. They managed to take off 3 of the 5 lugs but they never thought that I had another set of lock key bolts. I guess it paid off for that other set. I drove for about 5 miles 'til i got on the freeway on ramp then the other lug shot out and now only 1 was holding the rim together. Fortunately I was able to get it on the flatbed and nothing major was done to my axle and rotors. If you're reading this and it was you that tried this unsuccessful attempt, good luck next time. Think before you act up cause you're always on camera.

Dang, that's pretty messed up. I guess these guys weren't the brightest crayons in the box.
There are many things that would prevent them from stealing.
One of them being the wheel locks, which save you, I guess. Another one being the Tow sensor.

what a bunch of stupid #$%^%&*&%$@#$@#! it is very good that nothing happened more dangerous to you and your car! btw, the alarm isnt going to go off unless they jack the car up...so i am guessing that they just tried to take off the bolts first then take the rims
