And I thought this would never happen to me

Well fellas it did. Gotta say my vert has been in streak of bad luck. A week after getting it back from being fix due to my accident I had a few months a go, I go down to my apt garage to find my ride on center blocks.
This happened Jan 9th







If that wasnt enough, my neighbor got jacked too the same night.





so I posted a watch out message on a G facebook page in the pacific northwest group and men, the fellas were so helpful. One of the fellas was able to identify my rims from a guy who just happened to buy the rims two days after my rims got stolen from a guy. Tire specs and rims were too close for it to be a coincedence.





Anyways, the cops were first being slow at following up with this info. But now, they are jumping on it after the f*ckers where at it again.

Exactly a week after jacking my rims, these F*ckers came back to my apt garage and jacked another car. This time an RX8. This guy had wheel locks and they busted his front window, jacked his stereo and got to his locks and jacked the wheels. He had it bad men. but talked about ***** men.





And mind you all this happened in Redmond, WA which is suppose to be nerdville. one of the safest areas in washington.

But all is not lost for me at least, insurance is covering the rims and tires after my deductible. But before investing on some new rims, car alarm with tilt sensor and wheel locks are in order.

So anyone have any ideas on wheel locks? car alarm? am thinking viper but dont know yet which kind. I just started doing a bit of research on it.

very true, They already showed me that they can. But at least slow them down enough not to be worth their while.

You should post someone up in the garage with a bat or something to beat the hell out of whoever jacked your wheels.

Dude, so sorry to see this happen. That takes major ***** to jack 2 cars in one night and then come back?? seriously though how is the investigation going? That mustang really looks like he got some stolen property.

Anyway invest in a viper alarm with all the fixings.

Wow sorry to hear this. these guys must have been brave to even attempt this. If they got two cars and no one noticed I am not so sure a car alarm is going to do much good. The garage doesn't have cameras or security?

Luckily the car wasn't damaged, they left the blocks guess where the jack is suppose to go. The rear suspension was on the ground however, I mean the rear rotor etc. But nothing seems to be damaged. I have been driving the car with stockies with no issues so far.

If it was legal, I would post someone with a gun. Just shoot them where the sun dont shine. ha ha ha

The investigation was really slow at first. But I guess now the police chief made this top priority. This is the 6th wheel jacking this month. So at least the cops are now paying more attention to the leads that I gave em. so hopefully something comes out of it.

Yeah, thanks for the link. I was looking at that viper alarm yesterday. I did like the fact that it can be made to work with the factory fob. Definitely a good option.

Men, the bad part too is that this is an underground parking. so even with an alarm we wont hear $hit. The spot is a joke now thinking about it with security. its an open underground garage. a thiefs paradise men with no security camera. The apt management also refuse to place cameras stating that no one will watch it.
All I know is that after my lease ends, am getting a spot with my own attached garage.

Yeah, I got a demo of it on a g35 coupe where it was wired to do the window roll up. Hint int, the missing piece on the smart top setup. He did have the separate viper key FOB though. So not hundred percent if the window roll up would work with the OEM key FOB.

However, do not get the window roll up module since our cars put the window down when you open the door then up when closed. So you would really need to find an installer that knows the intricacies of the G37 Coupe to do it on the Vert.

I was thinking about it, but I don't need a viper alarm where I park the car at night (I say that now) and I'm extra careful on road trips.

Honestly that is just awful... even if they do not have anyone to watch the cameras they still could have footage of crimes happening in their garage... that is bull****!

I would be so pissed, I am glad to hear your insurance covered this but man does it still suck.

Please keep us updated on what happens to these fvcking scumbags.
