Not even remotely funny .... front rotors are on the GROUND , seriously though they may have been damaged because of it and besides I'd be pissed at any one that played with my nuts ...
Lug nuts that is ....

Very sorry about this happening.... Words can't adequately describe this type of action.  Subhuman mentality involved with the perpetrators for sure!

I'm pretty sure this wasn't a prank and he actually got jacked.

Sad -- someone really wanted his flower power wheels (assuming they were stock wheels).

Dang, that is horrible. Honestly, 1 locking lug per wheel, may not be enough. Use at least two, maybe even think of installing a motion sensing alarm system. And what is the problem with insurance company not replacing your stuff with what you had? BTW, what city do you live in?

Wixom.MI, I bought a set of 20 locks and another set of 4 that are super hard to get off without the key.. they have a sleeve over them that freely spins so u couldn't use a socket or vice grips. Now i'm looking into alarms any suggestions ?

Wow, sounds like you have it covered! Unfortunately I have no suggestions as to what type of alarm to buy, just seems as though I would get one now. Good luck, someone here I am sure is knowledgeable on alarm systems.

I think you really need some sort of security cam to go with.  Find that "person of interest".  Just an alarm sounds insufficient, depending on the jacker's skill level.
