Any one worry about their wheels getting jacked whenever they have to park their cars outside? Like when you have an overnight at a friends house or stay at a hotel?

Wheel locks and a alarm is good enough for me. Then again my AR-15, Glock-45, and a couple of friends armed with baseball bats will quickly change the mind of even the most hardened car thief.

Funny story, I was in the valley (off topanga/devonshire) at a friends house one friday night, we are drinking and have a good time and we decided to get out of the top window and drink on the roof. Once on the roof I notice my car sitting directly under a street light, basically asking to be robbed. Sure enough a civic with 3 hoodies pulled up, and try to take the wheels off my car, we sit and watch for a few while they struggle with the bolts, and cant budge them, let along the lock bolts. My friend slips inside his house, while im still on the roof, and then the front door opens to the hous and you hear the distinct sound "Click click" of a 12g shottie, they jumped in there little civic and blasted off so fast, we laughed and continued to drink. The end |

They do have a tool it's called 4 sockets and a hammer. Wheel locks don't do much

Wheel locks are designed to make the thief move on to something easier. They are by no means "theft proof" (nothing is).

yea you can brake most wheel locks, just takes longer. But i don't worry about ppl stealing my wheels. Not that i trust my neighborhood to that level. Just don't bother me/something to worry about. I worry about scratches more than anything
