View Full Version : stolen wheels plowskxc 02-22-2006, 10:24 PM when i went to my car to go to work this morning, the guy that parks next to me in the parking garage in my apartments has this truck with really nice 20" wheels. his wheels where gone and the truck was sittin on top of 2 tires. Lucky for me they liked his wheels better then mine. Im all scared now that I will be next. Does BMW make some kind of device the you can keep with you that warns you when the alarm is going off? anakbabe 02-22-2006, 10:27 PM wow... what a bummer:shifty but there are alarms that has a pager to notify the owner of any detections. yeaaa05 02-22-2006, 10:29 PM damn thats ownage fel0ncod3 02-22-2006, 10:30 PM wheel locks, and i know viper has a keyless remote 2-way, w/ glass and *bump* sensors all over the doors..... good investment:buttrock ///w3fl3x 02-22-2006, 10:40 PM You can get tilt sensor for most alarms too. So if your car is not level as in being jacked up then the alarm will go off too. Wheel locks will slow them down too.

You can use more than one set with different keys. Many alarms have motion sensing which will set off the alarm if someone is in the zone around the car for a period of time. Clifford is one of those. Clifford also has a tilt/motion sensor that will set off the alarm if the car is moved or jacked up. And, Clifford offers alarms with 2-way LCD remotes that indicate the status of the alarm and will notify you if the alarm goes off.

The guy had the wheels for only a few months. sucks for him Alpine 318is 02-24-2006, 02:59 AM wheel locks is the best idea fel0ncod3 02-24-2006, 03:46 PM or tuner lugs. that need a key, the only problem is, if the other guy is smart and has tuner lugs, he might have a key for it....... but at least its better than nothing |
