Did you put parking lines at your house?
Do you not have cameras?

I assume this is an apartment b/c of the parking lines.
Do they not have cameras?

I had the same thing happen to me in Metairie back in January of 2013. They put mine on cinder blocks except one. They got the tire and rim but they woke up my old neighbor and she scared them off by opening her balcony door. They left the jack, so I guess I got that It was towed and I got 4 new rims and tires. I had Statefarm. I had to pay the $500 deductible and that was it.

On a sidenote, our CIO at the time was talking about how property like that was not worth defending (with weapons). Then about 2 months later the same thing happened to him right before he was going to give his car to his daughter. Karma is a bitch!

If you shoot someone stealing tires, YOU will be the one getting arrested.

C'mon, man. He's probably married and you KNOW women need all the help they can get parking their car correctly.

$278/ea on Amazon….figure $1K for new tires. Def add keyed lug nut afterwards. My T4R didn’t come with them but Tundra did.

If there's a Pull-a-Part anywhere near you, you can check their inventory on line to see if the rims for your specific car are available at a decent price. They list by make year and model.

Just for comment here and for a previous comment regarding locking lug nuts: I'm not sure that locking lugs deter thieves. It may slow them down, but from my understanding it's not hard to defeat them. I would still want them on my vehicle but I'm not sure that if there's a crew that hits several cars in a night, that it would slow them down very much.

Open to change my opinion if someone has better information.
