Found My Camaro On Blocks This Morning - Need Camaro5's Help - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey, I found THIS set on Amazon; same Gorilla locks as THIS set, but you get 24 of them for $45 vs 20 of them for $60....same dimensions. I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing here, but I would think these would work, and you would have four extra wheel locks. Right? Anyone?

BASTARDS! Off with there heads.

I'll be looking in the classifieds and local craigslist ads to see if they post them for sale there. Can you guys please keep an eye out for anyone selling a set of the 20" Polished RS wheels (in Florida and especially in the Miami area). If you see anything suspicious please let me know. My car only has 220 miles on it so the wheels and tires will be like brand new. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the pics:

if this happen to you it could happen to any body any place any time

In the meantime, call your insurance company. I feel for you.

I'm sorry but the thiefs are able to break in and teal unstealable cars with expensive alarm systems yet the thought that 1 lugnut lock is going to keep an experianced thief from getting your tires is crazy.

OP, i feel your pain, When I stayed in an apartment I had my motorcycle stolen 3 days after moving to NC. IT was chained to a streetlight less than 5ft from my kitchen window, and it had a rotor lock. IT wasnt even 3 moths old, but insurance took care of everything. I hope you got insurance, and as far as aftermarket parts in the future, take pics after you install and of any serial# or distinguishing marks and give to your insurace agent so you can have it covered under your policy

sorry to hear. well i have had mine stolen but from the sop who WAS working on my car. no my dealer told me that there was no way to trace them unless you by any chance took the wheels off and looked at the serial number on the wheel. now if you find sets up for sale ask for the serial number then take it to your dealer to run it also with vin. if they match up theres your guy.

again sorry to hear and i wish you good luck. i have yet to find mine. also keep an eye out for them on another car.

No shortage of ***holes in the world.

They can take your tires and, they can take your wheels, but you still own the hottest car on the road! So once you get new shoes for that beast go cruise your cares away

It's making me mad looking at your car. I'm so sorry. That's enough to take someone out over something like that. I just hope in their case the cops get them before you do. Aren't you worried for your car now at your home? Once you get it fixed?

jeffsuch · 03-17-2010, 07:49 PM

Sorry to hear...i would be crushed

camaroramac · 03-17-2010, 07:54 PM
