    Hi All...

    I live on Santry Avenue near Northwood Complex and when I went to go to work on Thursday last I discovered all 4 wheels of my car had been robbed!! I cant even begin to tell you the shock I felt...still trying to get over it today...

    I am just wondering does anyone have any tips for making sure this doesn't happen again...I got 4 new wheels and put locking nuts on them and also have a clamp on the front wheel when it is parked outside my apartment..but surely if these guys want to take the locking nuts and for that matter the clamp off they can!!!

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Tom

    What type of car is it ?

    Was it just sitting on the ground with the wheels gone or on blocks ?

    Lock nuts are a good start. Also an alarm with a shock sensor would be good. Park in a well lit area, maybe near cctv etc if possible.
