Get wheel locks!

Hey guys so was checking up on a building we own across town from my place and the building right next door to ours also got hit by wheel bandits.

Same blocks used too and looks like they have a preference for the C class so just want to let you guys know to make sure you have wheel locks specially if you live in the greater Los Angeles area. This trend is coming back!!

WTF do these places not have any security or camera systems? I've seen less egregious theft in NYC.

I'm sure the crew that hit you had no idea how odd sized the C450 wheels are. I did see a set on EBay from a refurb vendor. Have to wonder where they really came from.

Yeah, this car was a standard C300 apparently only a week old. Bought from the same dealership I bought mine from. THAT makes me wonder...

Fully secured, gated buildings actually. I caught my guys on camera. They break the driveway gates and then take down the camera before pulling in to take the wheels off.

These guys just don't care and just wanted to warn other members since I have them on camera checking cars for wheel locks and only targeting the cars without them.
