Unfortunately locks will only protect so much. If they're professionals, there's always a way around it. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1377876776.966041.jpg

Wheel locks do the same as a door lock, they keep the lazy thieves honest :imo:

Sorry to hear.
I remember a dealership being hit, half the lot was on the ground. Saw a pic of it, talk about crazy looking.

Thought it slowed down after they busted a group of them awhile back ago, guess not.

GM accessory tilt sensor that connects to the existing alarm system is a good idea.

Not the shock sensor tho, bloody thing is a nightmare that chirps every time a penguin farts in Antarctica.

Man, that sucks. So does insurance put you in a rental until they take care of things? How does that work with replacing wheels?

Sorry to hear,Dale. I've gotten so paranoid with Houston during 12am-4am that I would wake up and check the drive way.

And to think I was considering moving to such a great city. There needs to be stiffer penalties for these goons..

There are penalties and I still love Houston, it's an awesome city. It's a matter of catching them. With the high number of illegals and other crimes, I'm sure wheel theft isn't the highest of priorities for HPD. I'm jut glad I have full coverage.
