LOL... Yeah I have been with them for a while and I hate that I was mistreated.. OK so if special wheel locks don't deter theft then what should I do? And no I am not getting a pit bull or buying a gun (as stated in previous threads) I am sure that I will trip in my 4 inch stiletto heels and shoot myself in the foot. Not worth it...

Not much you can do.. best I can think of is a sensitive two-way alarm... or get a garage

It's a horrible feeling. I did get a reimbursement from my insurance company that more than paid for aftermarket rims and tires. USAA is my insurance company, and it went pretty smooth. I am sorry for the trouble you had with GEICO. It just makes a bad situation that much worse.

The tow truck driver that came to take my car took 2.5 hours to get the car on the lift. The only damage was from the backplate on the rotors, which was easily fixed.

On the new rims, i bought McGard wheel locks so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Ouch X-(

I have spline lugs and theyre great, you need to use a 6spline key for every lug, as opposed to needing a key for 1 out of the 5 or whatever. It's a pain in the *** to take the wheels off and put them on or whatever, but totally worth it.

Good luck!

Well I have a lease that is up in a couple of months. I have to return the car in the same condition I received it in (that includes the rims) so I will be receiving the same rims from Infiniti. The tow truck driver worked for Infiniti and he told me that I was the third car for the day he picked up with no wheels. He was a master at getting it on the lift. He got the car on the lift in 35 minutes.

Yeah my rotors were messed up too. Unfortunately those thieving ***** dropped my car and my front grill was messed up. I should have it back by Saturday hopefully. At this point I don't know what new locks I will put on. The OEM stock locks let me down. I seriously need to invest in the trunk monkey.

Hey

I assume that you are referring to R&S Strauss. I probably will go there myself. What part of bk did this happen in? Damn, no bricks or lifts? The tow driver that took my vehicle away told me that they are targeting g35 and g37 stock rims.. I can't believe they want stock.. Anything for a buck I guess.
