This is why I'm glad I drive a car that I can park up and not give a fuck about

What is the world coming too?
At least they left the scissor jack in there so they can get new wheels on

I quote from the original poster...

quote:
I'm a security guard at a shopping centre, come across this on saturday around 5.30 while the car park was still busy. They got the wheels off and left in around 15 mins

Obviously not a very good security guard lol.

Looking at the angle I reckon they only made off with 2.
Either that or its still jacked up on the other side.

this sucks! Really does!

I remember a Phantom which had been left on blocks.

I would dread for this to happen, i guess the only plus i would take from this is they left me my car.

mark i know its sad, but no 1 probably gave a shit..... thats what the worlds coming to these days.. people dont seem to care about anything.... and this is why you buy a good set of locking wheel nuts... may be 20 - 50 quid but it saves your 1000 pound alloys at the end of the day :S?

Wouldn't this trigger a tilt sensor on the alarm also?

was thinking that also, about only thing to stop thieves in a way now ? a loud alarm buzzing away attracting attention in middle of day or in middle of night, as locking wheels nuts no matter what make/design are simple to get off if you know what your doing unfortuneatly

They took all four and trolley jack was left in that's why it's tilted.

He probably parked it in the far corner to avoid people opening the doors onto it

Harsh.

TBF if I saw a few lads and I knew they were nicking the wheels off a car, I wouldn't approach them anyway. Not worth getting stabbed over IMO.
