Default sorry to see that

but if the set-up is new they must have been scoping it out recently...do you usually keep your car outside? any video camera in the area that could have picked them up??

Default Re: If so, IMPRESSIVE>>

I live in a very afluent neighborhood on a yacht harbor and on the other end of the island there is a white trash trailer park that supposedly houses a meth lab. Our neighborhood has been absolutely pounded by vandalism. More reason I should have had wheel locks. One of my neighbors had a very elaborate video security system and the theives climbed the roof, cut off the cameras and went in through the skylight of his covered swimming pool, in through the house, out the garage, dismantled a Chrysler 300 Hemi and took off with various other loot so I hear.

Default ACK :-(

I wonder if wheel locks would have prevented the loss of the wheels but caused the bastards enough frustration to make them damage the wheels and the car instead. Sorry about this incident.

Default So - are the Audi wheel locks any good?

Most wheel locks look the same to me.... like if the theives had one key it would work on any car. Are the keys unique?

Default That's not vandalism...that's theft. & the other posters are right ... they were talented...

reminds me, I need to find some wheel locks that fit my spacers.

you WILL sleep much better after that. i just had my car messed with, they poured food products all over the entire car, a month later and i am still finding cornmeal, but the next time i find someone on my property...i'll leave it at that. i feel for you even though mine was small stuff compared to your theft.

Default Audi wheel locks only have 6 or so different keys. No good. The McGard have infinite number as each

one is just slightly different.
