What's up guys,

Didn't mean to ignore anyones responses, I've just been busy running around today. Getting a rental, meeting with the adjuster,...... I did have wheel locks on my wheels, but I guess that didn't help all that much.

I actually ended up buying some wheels that the local wheel shop had on consignment, so I could drive it to the body shop tomorrow. Not necessarily something I would have picked out for my car, but hey, I need something to get around on. I'll go back to something I like at a later time.

I tried to take some pics, but the camera I had at home sucks. All the pics I took are apparently too big to be uploaded. Any suggestions on getting the pics up?

You can resize them before you upload them.

What happened to the wheel locks?
Yes, if they want to steal it, nothing will stop them. The locks are more of a time consuming deterrent.

Good luck. It's only material, just let the insurance take care of it.

If it's personal, do you think you there's a chance it can happen again???

Ouch! At least a new paint job will fix that.

I actually had to rearange the bricks to get my rotors off the ground. They apparently only placed them under there to be able to slide out their jack, my front rotors were pretty much dug into the asphalt.

I took the car to the shop today, so now I'm stuck driving a Chevy Impala for a while.

I see this a lot in the autobody business. I wouldn't worry about it too much since you have insurance. I'm positive you'll have a fresh paint job, possibly a kit and wheels in no time.
