that sucks. Like someone stated above, all hondas/acuras should have a very good alarm system. I wonder if they knew the wheels were rota.

Circuit City used to do hack job installs. Sorry to hear about your loss bro.

Just when i start to miss my honda i see threads like this and it reminds me of why i grew absolutley sick of it after 6 years.

, Sorry for your loss, i hope the wheels turn up somehow, someway. I would invest in a better car alarm soon and perhaps buy 4 sets ( of 4) locks from honda, that way all 16 lugs are locks, its a deterent, but it wont stop a desperate thief. If you want to deter the desperate ones, may i sugguest placing landmines around your vehicle at night.

K20sRsxy · 09-12-2010, 04:06 PM

aw thats sad

ill keep an eye out for them. check online to see if they are ever put up for sale

Mr.2jz-GE · 09-12-2010, 04:26 PM

just wow. It has to be some1 who knew they were rota's and had lock on it IMO. Goodluck Bro

morla · 09-12-2010, 04:46 PM

I'm sorry for the loss, I hope they find those dirtbags, but wheel locks ftw

well by buddy was far from a hack. we did this at my dads shop not a walkin to CC.

and yea 4 different wheel locks seem a bit much but very tru... believe he is gonna get a new alarm installed as it seems the old one sucks a bit..

Holy Hair · 09-12-2010, 05:01 PM

Thanks everyone. Upgrading the alarm though for sure

delphinE30 · 09-12-2010, 05:07 PM

its insane how people steal **** anymore. they dont even try to hide....they used to steal **** from my shop by breaking into the cars, then they started breaking te windows, now they jsut cut te window out and lay it off to the side and just take what tehy need........this is where you draw the line and make everyone carry guns... this **** would never happen. is this why it doesnt happen to me personally???? ;) ;)

DAMN! That's crazy! And you guys are in a nice area too! I can't believe the balls some people have! Unreal! I'm sorry to hear that. Doesn't make me feel real comfortable about the alram on my WRX although I do have the tow sensor. I don't know why honda's are such a magnet for theives (well I do) I guess I just can't believe they did it right in your driveway.

gotvtec? · 09-12-2010, 07:06 PM

They prolly thought those wheels were sprint harts lol damn man i know how it is to get your car messed with, sucks one of the worst feelings.

EklipzGSXkid · 09-12-2010, 07:10 PM

Just so you know, It's easier to remove a wheel with 5 wheel locks on each wheel, Then it is to remove a wheel with a lug.

Sorry to hear about your car, It's sad someone did this to your car.

And as always, If someone wants something you have, They're going to get it. All the obsticles like an alarm ETC, ONLY make them work faster and smarter.

92accordex · 09-12-2010, 07:11 PM

Where are you located? Im on craigslist all the time ill check that section when i sign in if you want

Holy Hair · 09-12-2010, 07:25 PM

I park my car in a well open area, which makes it easy to spot someone messing with it considering we live on a heavily driven road, so I'm surprised they pulled this off. They must not have cared about the spot light shinning on them while they did their dirty work either.

And I'm located in Medford.

92accordex · 09-12-2010, 07:32 PM

yeah illl keep an eye out dude that sucks that happened.

gotvtec? · 09-12-2010, 07:50 PM

Damn thats crazy how they did that what kinda lugs u have

Foolinaround · 09-12-2010, 07:52 PM

Never surprises me,But really someone stole a set of rotas? I had em on my turbo integra that got stolen,but really? smh.

Also wheel locks are not hard at all to get off,we do it everyday at work when customers cant find their keys.
