Hey man, I meant no offense.

I'd be really pissed, too. And concerned.

I'm just an amateur mechanic, but I don't think there will be much damage if any to your car. They might have put the jack in the wrong place and bent something, but hopefully it's nothing problematic.

Good luck!

I think stereotyping the thieves as Mexican just because they used landscaping rocks is wrong.

bottom of a car can take that. No way it's totalled, those guys lift from the rear end and the front crossmember so they only need two jacks.

Another trick they do is fit blocks under the car, then pull the valves out and let the tires deflate, allowing them to take the wheels off.

These guys need to serve some prison time, that much is certain. But if we're being honest here, they should get a look or two by a NASCAR team as pit crew material.

I heard that one of the trucks they hit in our 'hood had locking lug nuts, but they either busted them off or had a key.

Yeah i have the patterned lugs on mine, seems like it wouldn't do much though, those have to be a dime a dozen.

On Star notifies me though if anyone is fricking with my vehicle through my phone... allegedly

The security package shite? I know there are different tiers, but there is one specifically for this, additionally the senors probably come into play on whether you have them equipped on your tires or not.
