Someone is stealing my nuts......

[MADRODER]

Lug nuts that is, for the past month someone has been stealing my chrome lug nuts and what the real shocker is that this kind thief is replacing them with the regular lug nuts,this guy has balls!!!

I just recently replaced my valve air caps since they were stolen also, thx to Wes I got that problem solved. I was just wondering who out there make locking chrome lug nuts(all 5)that fit the Marauder, I religiously check the cars wheels every time I go to work and when I leave know and it's becoming a PITA.

THX for your help everyone...

Maybe they're just taking the chrome covers off and leaving the lug nuts in place?

That's what I thought also but this morning I noticed one nut wasn't tightened.

The box says 12mmX1.50, Bulge Acorn, Part #41933HT. That number is a few years old so it may have changed.

Why can't people leave your car alone? I swear - if somebody screwed with my Marauder, I would become a felon in about 5 seconds.

At that price I'd be willing to pull my nutz off, for a pretty shiny locking set of nutz.

How many times has this happened?

[MADRODER]

As of today 5 are missing........I'm parking in a more open spot at work now so it won't be as hidden as b4, so far so good. But I think I'm still going to order the Gorilla locks.

[TiTo35]

Well atleast they not taking your wheels...:rolleyes:

With this heat my nuts are just sweating their way off!

Maybe you've been "Tagged" for possibly something bigger. Make sure it's protected by the people you park around, meaning they know how to reach you. Forgot to mention Mcgard only "RECOMMENDS" one wheel lock per wheel. It is a "Wheel Lock" not a lug. The Gorilla brand is a locking/lug device, therefore the name the "The System" these also can be torque to spec's.

Exactly^^^^^^^^^^^ Looks like some type of a motion alarm will be my next purchase. Any recommendations on a good motion alarm.......

[Da Dark Jedi]

From my understanding a motion alarm can still be defeated. What the creeps do is stick sandbags or bricks under the frame, then proceed to remove the valve stems which lowers the car. The alarm won't sound because the car haven't been tilted, or jacked up (NO MOTION). A perimeter sensor is good to a certain point, if you live in a city where people are moving around your car it will continueslly sound off. At which point people won't care anymore and the kids will walk by it just to set it off.
