I guess using wheel lock nuts is a pretty good idea...

from the guy who took the pics:
Quote:
True Story: As I drove up to this driveway to pick up the Mercedes for a Photoshoot, I see this.
3 cars on bricks, 1 house, all done the same night.
Real pros with big ball pulled this one off.







good reason to use lock nuts on your rims... could be avoided by just doing that.

I'm sure they did have lock nuts. Remember if a thief wants something that bad they will get it

yeah OEM locks are pretty easy to come by, an alarm is what you need, surprised the range didn't go off, you'd need to jack it quite high to get that wheel off

na, the best way to secure your wheels is to slam the car to half an inch off the ground,

only way to jack it up is to drive it on bricks first

damn such nice cars and house, shame.

this is why i had a tilt sensor added to my compustar, i think that's a pretty good setup, soon as anyone lifts the car 1 inch, alarm goes loco

I doubt the owners are even in the house. They should have surveillance cameras though.

yeah if they got that kinda of a ballin house you'd think they would have surveillance cams. but yeah what G-Spec said, add on a tilt sensor really helps

I like how the cinder blocks are all the same type and laid exactly the same way.

I call BS it's more a viral thing than anything.

airbags FTMFW

theres no way in hell they gonna be able to jack up the car when the wheel is 2" into the wheel well, and every jack point has less than a inch clearance

same goes with tow trucks
