Addison is really not that bad, just certain parts of it look more like the southern neighbor of US. Besides, everything here is so damn expensive...don't expect to buy an apartment for less than $100k.

damn that blows, like others said, security system. I have tilt sensors that i can adjust. if my car tilts as much as a degree, the alarm will go off.

i don't know what's worse, hit and run or my rims getting stolen. my car was hit in a parkinglot while i was at work, had to get a whole new front bumper. that was before the security system. if someone stole my rims, i'd be bounty hunting

Yeah it makes it a biatch to change and rotate tires but it makes it harder for them dam bastards to get yo wheels. Sorry for your loss man.

It's really not that hard to get passed lug locks. You just need a socket that will fit over the lug, bang it down with a hammer a couple of times and then turn. They will come off, my teacher has done it a few times when students have forgotten the keys.

Anyway, I'm sorry man. Hopefully everything gets better for ya. My brother and I saw a guy trying to get into my car, we just started chasing him, musta been a track star cuz he was GONE!

That sux, hopefully insurance will take care of you.

Dont know if this would be an option for you however. Sams club has small video cameras for around 50$ and a dvd recorder you can get for about 100$ and mount that facing the car and have it recording while your asleep or away.

If your wondering yes i record 24/7.

Damn, you see crap like that on TV a lot, never thought I'd see a lancer sitting on rotors. Sorry to hear about that, but yeah I'd definately invest in some sort of security that isn't a weapon. Motion sensored camera was a good idea since you park on the side of your house, then you would also get to see everything else that even moves through your parking spot...cats, raccoons, the homeless.
