    Default tire claw

    i have seen it mentioned a couple of times with no real explanation, so i searched it out and this is what i found, just thought others might wanna know since the amount of reported stolen cars on the site seems to be on the incline

    Ya about time somebody did something, and it was me that posted the pic with it on there, if people were not letting their guard down and did the research people would have been already up on it.

    and not waste the $100 on the POS they are just gonna break if they want it.
    alot of car theives are smart enough to get past something made by "the club." do you remember how easy it was to get those off?

    so yeah, I do want you to accept that if they are going to take it, they will. ask anyone whos had their car stolen with all kinds of "fool proof" devices. they will say the same thing.

    Well i dont know what thief has that kind of time on their hands to sit there with a hacksaw and try to saw that motherfucker off and use 5 blades while doing it. Or a thief that carries a torch around with them. Im pretty sure if they saw that on there they would just skip to the next car...Or just break in and steal your cd player and sub just like everyother thief.

    id be pretty pissed if they just took the tire off and left it there and used a donut to drive on
    i knew someone that had 5 lug rims all with different locks on each lug and they still took his rims
    your right they will take what they want, but hopefully it will act as a deterent and they will move on to the next car with nothing detering them

    yeah, I could be a deterant, but most of the time when I car like a modded honda/acura gets stolen they come for that particular car, they have scoped it out and know your routine, and know whats on it, like this so they will come prepared.

    all they would have to do is take off the wheel, toss that puppy in the trunk and worry about cutting off your waste of $100 later lol.

    now if you get your hands on a boot that covers the whole wheel then you might be in business, but the Athens Clarke County ones can be taken off with a socket set... so i hear. lol.
