Holy crap! That looks like a really upper-class neighborhood. Doesn't mean there isn't crime, though :(

It looks like the crooks used the homeowner's pavers and bricks to prop up the car, LOL.

Whoever did that must be some pros.. LOLL haha fack i hope that dont happen to me.. :(

Ways to prevent wheel theft:
1) Park car in garage
2) Use wheel locks

oh damn that really sucks

Dealer lot car without a wheel lock?! :eek:

The SUV I can understand... those monster aftermarket rims and tires are $$$ expensive. But who the hell steals 15" rims and tires these days? Even if it had the upgrade set, still only 16" rims...

crazy, brand new fit
where is this honda dealer?

^^^ No locks=sitting duck=easy money.

Even locks aren't that hard to get off. I guess its a deterrent but if you get an old socket you don't want and just smash it on with a hammer they will come off

or use the 30$ crafstman set for stripped bolt removal.

park in the garage is your best bet.

Any car that hits my lot that have alloys and are a Honda gets lock, well atleast all our new incoming cars with alloys.

Crap. I guess I'm going to have to buy wheel locks.

damn, that just really sucks!! especially in a dealer

I already have a set of wheel locks waiting to be installed!

Not sure if the Crafstman extractors are big enough, but other companies do make locking wheel nut removal tools. I had to purchase one when a jack ass mechanic stripped my wheel lock key. :mad:

Wow. Didnt expect a dealer to get jacked. My local honda dealer has an undercover cop driving around the lot / area as security

I read that the Fit wheels were stolen from a Honda dealer in New Jersey.

From my previous experience, every Honda/Acura that my family has bought with alloys did not have wheel locks when it was sitting on the dealer lot.

won't help....
 

These pics remind of BBS wheeels taken from my Maxima couple of years ago. They broke my passenger side window to take the wheel lock out of the glove box and my car was set on a milk crate which had collaped on one side. Rotors were basically digging into the pavement on the side of the car. Since you need to keep the wheel lock key in the car in case of need, wheel locks don't really help if the thiefs are determined enough...

Years ago, the front wheels were stolen off my ex-wife's car. Crooks left the front up on blocks.

She noticed the missing wheels when she backed off the blocks.

(She could have used the garage, but she was too lazy to fool with the garage door.)

Hmmm... on Sunday, I noticed that the rear passenger-side wheel on my wife's 93 Accord was missing two bolts. Either the garage didn't put them on after checking the brakes (or didn't tighten them enough), or somebody started stealing the wheels and stopped shortly after they started.

You could hide the wheel lock somewhere in the car...
