StevenSStruck Posted May 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 That sucks man but im out $ 6k, and its easy to get the locks off if you take a socket that is one size to small and hammer it on the locking nut, wont ever come off again but gets the job done... ~Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't buy another set until all this chrome stealing B.S is done with B/c if a thieve want something bad enough trust me he'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSThunder Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 IMO there isn't anything worse than a thief. Sucks when you work hard to get something and a-holes take it. Hope everything works out with the insurance company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSMANIAC Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 In my opinion locking lug nut are better than not having anything at all, but think about this. My Cousin back home In Puerto Rico got his wheels stolen with a complete set of lock nuts in each wheel not just one he had all five as lock nuts. the thiefs broke into the car search the whole car for the key and simply used the same lock nut key to remove them. He even had them hidden in the engine compartment in a home made plastic box that he kept the lock nuts. I followed his idea and hid my lock nut key too. If you have lock nuts please take the time and hide the key it is useless if you leave them in your glove compartment even if you lock the glove compartment you are telling the scum that there is something there worth breaking in for. Sorry to hear about you ordeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdriveGTP Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Man....that sucks..... The first thing I did when I got my SS was to put locking lugs on it.... Hope the insurance helps you out...I know that when I got my tonneau on I went out to the agents office, told him that I put it on and the price ($1000), and he told me not to worry, for no more that it was they would cover it.... At least I told them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
