dude you park at one of the busiest parking lots on campus. theres so much traffic going through that lot not to mention the routine patrols by the campus police department and the parking department.. Theres no chance that someone can just go try to steal your rims during the day. dont worry about taking your car to campus tomorrow man. you'll be fine.

I can't tell if someone is trying to take my wheels at school (UMCP) or my part time job at Red Lobster... I was freaking out... so pissed right now. Fortunately, I was able to order some Gorilla wheel locks from www.wheelsdirectonline.com and should have them in 3 business days. I heard good things about Gorilla wheel locks so I hope it's all good. They're going to need the key for all 20 lugs now, so those bastards better give up. OMG had to vent..

However, last week my car was at the dealership for some rattling issues and my sunroof making weird noises. I see no reason why they would have to take the wheels off, I will have to call them tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow my sentra is in the shop for a tune-up.. :X gosh.. how stressful

haha jeeez ppl, I know that it wasn't the shop because I (myself) torqued down all the nuts, including the wheel locks with the air gun. They do have an adapter that torques them all, and it is completely safe. I did the same when I first got the wheels. Whatever is happening, I am waiting for the gorilla's just in case. :P

I saw an ad for the building of new condos in the Tysons area, I think it looks like a good investment.. might have to buy one or two
