happened to me too but before i had the F. They even unscrewed my motion sensor light above my from door. Now I have high up flood lights, park the car in the garage every night, and i got camera's.
Was going to get a tilt sensor but it will go off if you park on an incline or decline.
If someone really wants your car they will get it but you gotta make it as difficult as possible for them so they will forget you and move on to another mark. sorry bro.. park it in the garage everynight

I have an AR up for sale right now. Nice DPMS heavy barrel job. Would make very short work of a wheel theif. Nice 3-9X40 scope on it.

You're in Florida, you were just standing your ground.

1) Get a home security system (with cameras)
2) Get a video recorder for your car
3) Aftermarket wheel locks

I need to do #2 myself.

Years ago a few morons were trying to steal wheels off of another car that was not garaged. They met my best friend Duke at the time--a 100 pound male Doberman.

That was the end of the attempted theft.

Maybe he'll feel bad and return them in couple of days. Seems like they took care of your car by leaving it upright.

That's a sorry sight and I'm sorry that happened to you. Your 2010 rims will stick out like a sore thumb on anything but an F so keep a look out. You should be able to replace them for less than 3k shopping here at club lexus. Good luck and I hope you keep her garaged in the future.

Sorry to hear... what a p!sser.

Not to hijack but are there any options for better wheel locks that fit our OEM wheels besides the dealer locks?

Hey Danny, I'm in shock to see your car like that! I know where you live and your neighborhood is good, I can't see it happening there!

As many people have said, check on eBay, Craigslist, and the local pawn shops. Having your TPMS IDs handy will help in case some wheels are found by the police. Let me know, I have a TPMS reader to get the original IDs from your ECU, and a TPMS scanner to scan on-the-fly TPMS IDs from wheels. Also, I'd consider an alarm with proximity/shock/tilt sensor. A good Clifford will cost you around $400 installed.

Good luck!
