Default Headlights stolen

Hi all,

Someone recently stole my front bumper and my headlights from my 2015 Lexus IS250. I found my car this afternoon with about 20 screws on and bolts on the floor with the parts missing. I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations on preventing something like this from happening again. What bewildered me was that I don't think the alarm even sounded. Is there an after market alarm I should install? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

damn that sucks bro!...sad thing is in CA, its a huge problem if that brings any comfort

i.e. i knew a guy with a super modified Civic turbo that got stolen...they didn't just take it, they got a tow truck, and just took the whole thing away!


its a real P.O.S. move to mess with someone else's car but in CA, its only going to get worse for the foreseeable future


i would recommend a Club, i used mine from my previous ride since day one


let me go get some videos of my Rear Dash cam at night that prevent most the the tom'foolery around our underground parking structure

[size=13px]this is my rear...i got a different one up front but you can get ones that are much more hidden and turn on/off LED ring, adjust record time from 24 hr. max to 48 hr. max so it doesn't drain your battery while not being driven for a day or two, etc.

sounds like someone crashed their car or wanted to do an f sport conversion. probably some punk with a 3is. those are quite specific items to find. ask neighbors if they have a camera. many people have cameras these days
