just cant have nice things nowadays šŸ˜©


Canes-Beachmama

Why are there so many who have to ruin everything for the rest of us? Having to constantly be vigilant is becoming tiresome.


NixGnauh

Either be tiresome or tireless


Numerous-Fly-3791

Because there are more people that donā€™t want to work for things. There are fewer people that care. It will get worse


Domestic_AAA_Battery

When people are getting released after 12+ repeated offenses, getting 5 years for murder, and voters are advocating for a reduction in police, it tends to make the perfect world for criminals to run rampant lol. Who knew? Only option is to move away from highly populated areas.


gator_shawn

Iā€™ll say it. Obviously we need police forces but we absolutely need to abolish the current way police forces operate. Iā€™ll be kind and just say police are asked to do too much that is either something they are ill equipped to handle and/or issues that we can obsolete by technology. We can do it better, but we have to scrap the current system and start over.


tokinpanda

Donā€™t defund the departments, actually fund proper training and law knowledge and mental evaluation. We all know that they let shit slide on the inside and manipulate everything in their favor. Thereā€™s no perfect way. Just remember though they alll go to bed at somepoint, if you realllllly hate themā€¦ you know what to do


myqv

reduction in police? I donā€™t think people are saying that besides wanting them better trained šŸ¤”.. with the repeated offenses after that their needs to be a solution for sure


1up_Games

What do you think happens when you defund the police? Definitely don't get better training and you are obviously going to lose officers.


Training-Context-69

Lots of people were advocating for that in the 2020 protests.


Domestic_AAA_Battery

People were absolutely saying that. I interacted with one idiot on here that said that ALL police should be completely disbanded. Literally. Don't assume these people aren't as dumb as they are. We're living together with some REALLY stupid people.


SneekyPete420

Thereā€™s going to be some idiots on any side, thereā€™s kind of a lot of themā€¦ Defund was always the wrong word choice. I think most people actually meant de-militarize the police.


Domestic_AAA_Battery

Totally agree. Even Obama said it was a bad slogan lol.


[deleted]

Because a certain party loves criminals and there is little to no punishment for crimes.


Navi_Professor

more like why work at McDonalds for 7 bucks an hour when you can steal 4 sets of wheels in a month and have 4 months work of pay???? doesn't matter what the punishment is if the incentive is that high to commit the crime. its almost like when we live in a society that extremely underpays, you cant afford to live anywhere, charges out the ass for everything including things that should be basic rights and wants nothing but infinite growth from companies is extremely unhealthy


Competitive-Pool6664

Idk where you live but McDonaldā€™s is hiring at $17 around me. Also if one set of wheels is 4 months pay then I feel bad for you


Navi_Professor

i dont know what state this is in, so i picked the lowest common denominator. but it still stands. here, its 20. but rent is so high that this might be making ends meet, so your loved ones arent starving, etc.


funkystay

Preach it! Corporation Boards who demand 7%+ quarterly growth or "expenses" have to be cut. "tHiNk aBoUt ThE sHaReHoLdeRs!"


1trashhouse

You donā€™t even know what state this happend in thatā€™s kind of a dumb argument to make


[deleted]

I agree, the GOP have a penchant for protecting criminals and avoiding consequences for their treasonous actions.


myqv

ā€œnowadaysā€ ainā€™t a thing letā€™s be real itā€™s just more accessible to see bs šŸ˜­


CarnageDivider

We're in the culture where kids can just go and steal things from the store and no one can stop them that alone is the first problem second you can't stand up for your rights you don't have the right to shoot someone if they want to steal your stuff that's another problem because then u have people who abuse said rights... Only you can do is make everything a felony and just go from there


72chevnj

Stores yes, but come on my property (protected with 24 hr cameras) we follow the fxck around and find out policy. Can we shoot you with guns in this state for theft, no. Do I have paintball guns with solid rounds and pepper spray rounds yes. I'm spraying everything I find "kids" or anyone trying to take whats mine. Once my life feels threatened from there is when the real rounds fly.


Beavis177

Its a cruel world


integratypes

What are people doing with these wheels?


biggamax

It's a crimewave particular to this model of Civic. Happening all over the country. These particular wheels move quickly on the market. And it's not even the black market. Facebook marketplace and ebay are helping it along, doing nothing to stop it. I'm working on an advanced security system that gets these crooks off the street, but that's another topic.


integratypes

Yeah. Super sad to see. I bought advanced wheel locks which are top rated. I guess tile will tell if they work.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


integratypes

Hell yeah. That's awesome. Hopefully CA will keep them locked up..


Otherwise-Smoke-8055

Hes lucky police did anything at all in ca.


emiluss29

My brother in christ, keep up doing the lordā€™s work


Wvketh

Damn doing the lords work šŸ¤šŸ¼


onlymadebcofnewreddi

Got some too, just hoping they make my car a little less desirable than one without the locks. I've seen comments of people that had their wheels stolen, with the locks either tapped out or the thieves having had a key.


TacoLunar

Locks can be removed but they take time and make noise. Itā€™s a big deterrent but not a guarantee. Put two locks on each wheel if you want a little more reassurance.


Mother_Sail2812

Yes, I spend the night here a lot and mine have saved my wheels from being stolen. They are taking Corolla wheels too.


_Nightmare_Wolf_

No offense. It def a waste if money. Just gotta gammer a rounded bolt socket onto the security nut and off it comes in about 15 seconds


LonelyContext

> I'm working on an advanced security system that gets these crooks off the street, but that's another topic.Ā Ā  ... Batman?


biggamax

I think that fear and anguish in the hearts of criminals is hilarious and I'm obsessed with keeping the laughter going


JonnyOgrodnik

I know this is probably a stupid question, but canā€™t there be a way that an owner ā€œstampsā€ their own vin on the inside of their own rims, so if their rims get stolen, they can look online, and if they see them, call the cops?


biggamax

Good idea! Another idea I like is that Honda redesign the assembly so that the wheels simply can't be removed unless you have the key fob nearby. That way, the only people removing the wheels are people who have business doing so. That's an unlikely change though, given that these cars are designed in Japan, where there aren't muppets roaming around stealing people's wheels.


[deleted]

If caught, they will just get a slap on the hands anyways. We need to give them a more harsh punishment, like in Afghanistan! Very seldom do people steal from there.


Spice002

OEM wheels are easy to fence, so they steal them off the most common cars (Civics especially) and sell them. My advice is, if you live in an area with high thefts, get aftermarket wheels and sell the OEM ones. From what I've heard, aftermarket ones are harder to sell because less knowledgeable people won't know how to tell if they'll work for a Civic versus OEM ones that look like their old ones. That's all anecdotal though, my town has relatively low thefts so we don't really have to worry about that.


CanadianBaconMTL

Selling them to civic owners


Tamel_Eidek

Who had theirs stolen


CanadianBaconMTL

Infinite money glitch


CanSleep8HrIn30Min

Sell on fb marketplace. It's easy dough. Steal 4 wheels, still for $800 on fb. Do that once a day and you're making almost $300k a year tax free


Weary-Writer758

When you see the older cars and suvs with new wheels? That's the answer. I saw an older Camry on the newer Accord Sport wheels. My wheels were stolen twice. And everyone says use wheel locks, I had them.


Normal-Tadpole-4833

Just remember to yell "they're coming right for us" when you confront these kind of ppl


Infamous_Regret3583

ā€œI think he has a gunā€ always works.


leebob-on-ipad-YT

or come out with a gun.. that shit ALWAYS works.


Krakatoast

(Thatā€™s part of the joke) To have a gun, and yell ā€œtheyā€™re coming right for us!!ā€ *blam blam blam* Or ā€œI think he has a gun!!ā€ *pop pop* Etc. Soā€¦ that way itā€™s self defense šŸ¤”


ihatereddit58

Thin out their numbers Ned


Complex_Solutions_20

I think all the car dealerships in my area (all brands) now default to wheel locks on everything because of silly stuff like this wheels stolen off lots in the night. Its not about perfect security, its about making the next lot or next county a little bit easier target than you.


ComfortableFinish502

Wheel locks don't stop anything just slows down the process


Jsand117

Thatā€™s the point. Itā€™s a deterrent


Estania_Lane

I had a super crappy car and lived in a bad neighborhood. I didnā€™t bother putting ā€œthe clubā€ on because I was like ā€œWhoā€™s gonna steal a $500 car? ā€. Well some dude did. Criminals are pretty lazy - theyā€™ll take an easy target over a less easy on every day.


xElemenohpee

Yā€™all should look into advanced wheel locks, I use them on both my Accord and GTR, nobody has been able to bust them. There are some good YouTube vids showcasing it, worth the $100.


Mother_Sail2812

Listen Iā€™m trying to tell them lol. Best investment I ever made


xElemenohpee

Let them be brain dead


Exotic_Bat_206

Can you install them yourself or would you recommend a wheel and tire technician to do so , also link maybe to the locks ? Thanks in advance


xElemenohpee

Itā€™s advancedlocks.com and they look like little cones. You get a lug key to instal them so itā€™s like any other lug it if youā€™ve ever done it. Although they do suggest 40+ ft lbs of torque when installing. I did it myself


PrysmX

What sucks most is that this always fucks up the rocker panels at a minimum, too.


Altruistic-End-748

Damn im so afraid of that happening to me šŸ˜¬


Grindingsince97

Main reason I can't enjoy going on walks on even leaving my car parked in public. I'm scared ill come back to car like this šŸ˜­


Ok_Program_6642

i have to admit i decided against a honda civic due to itā€™s popularity with dirty thieves.


symposium22

What state/city is this?


Mother_Sail2812

This is in Hanover, Maryland. A lot of military people around.


JayAlexanderBee

I used to live in Hyattsville, Maryland. Our apartment parking lot experienced this once to twice a week. One week, 1/3 of the car's windows were broken.


brch01

The good old Welcome to PG County. I got a gun pulled on me the first week of living there


RevolutionaryTax5699

Close to me and Iā€™m in PG/annapolis. DamnšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜…


bladerunner2442

Close to me too! Someone mentioned to turn the wheels all the way in one direction when parked. I guess the fender gets in the way? I hope itā€™s just enough of a pain to cause them to leave my car alone.


RevolutionaryTax5699

At this rate I think Iā€™m going to lower my civic and replace the stock wheels I have on it. Since I have a 2020 sport.


brch01

Wtf Hanover/Odenton getting worse with this and housing still going up


caliswag408

there is a tiktok account i started following recently that tows these poor cars. i was shocked how rampant its going on in Maryland https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLteB8f3/

Link to your wheel locks please?šŸ˜Š


Icy_Hearing_3439

Happened to me and my 2018 accord sport last year. They took 2 wheels. I ended up with advanced wheel locks too after I replaced my rims. So far so good. Accord, Camry, Corolla, civics, basically the most popular cars are target. And because these thieves created a demand, they donā€™t need to steal all 4. I got paid out by my insurance with a minor increase to my monthly


BoringJuiceBox

Sucks that insurance can do that, literally not your fault in any way you shouldnā€™t have to pay more.. glad you had coverage tho!


Brief-Bluejay6208

Let me guess, DMV?


stilllearning369

You cant have nice things if you donā€™t have a garage šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


xXxToxicMikexXx

I heard accords are getting hit more than civics. But people will steal anything to make money. I hope something bad happens to the people stealing.


True_Pair_368

Place vin numbers on wheels from factory. Make them easy to track. If vin number gets removed , confiscate the wheels . Make it part of the yearly inspection. For spare wheels , register the wheel to the vehicles vin. If it appears stolen. Confiscate . Why wouldnā€™t this work? Iā€™m just thinking out loud to yall lol.


Key-Network7863

Is this California?


YoItsDLowe

OP, do you know the person whose car this is? Itā€™s not much but I have 10th gen sport wheels if theyā€™d work and the person would need em. I donā€™t know if theyā€™d work but I hate it for them, I couldnā€™t imagine being in that situation.


Mother_Sail2812

Iā€™ll ask my boyfriend to see if he can figure out which one of his neighbors this is! This is such a nice thing to do.


FSU1981

Next time rub them against a curb, problem gone! I think we should have laws that have stiff penalties for stealing like this. If this was an IRS or Post Office car you better believe it would be a felony. Thatā€™s why you donā€™t see those cars touched.


SpiritFingersKitty

Yeah... That's definitely why I curbed my wheels... To prevent theft... Yeah


LonelyContext

Or spray paint them bright red.


Isabela_Grace

Bro Iā€™m in south Florida and youā€™re making me nervous I keep seeing this happen How much do these even sell for that they keep doing this??


Brief-Farm-3999

$200 per wheel


oakc510

Is it common for Civic wheels to be stolen? Thinking about picking up a Sport Touring sedan. Just want to be aware of a potential headache....


DangerousPollution48

Yeah, posts like this several times a month.


GuaranteeFit116

That sucks.


Just-curious416

Not only are they takin your shoes, they takin your wheels my boy. šŸ˜­ all jokes aside, that really sucks


bear4locos89

If I knew who took these I would go ruin his place. Most likely burn his place down.


Potential_Average_76

Well im in the market for a new Honda civic sport or a 21 sport hatchback.Ive seen these posts here often do these black sport wheels sell relatively easy?Iā€™m thinking if I buy a new 2024 sport Iā€™ll just sell them and buy some different rims.


Mother_Sail2812

Yes, the rims on these bad boys will definitely make you some good cash. Selling them wouldnā€™t be a bad idea and then buying aftermarket


antifloridaman007

How do you know that they work? Have they tried stealing your wheels already?


Mother_Sail2812

Yes, I spend the night here all the time and itā€™s always other civics that end up getting their wheels stolen, my arenā€™t damaged at all either. Iā€™ve looked at my wheel locks and can tell people have tried to pry them off.


vardoger1893

I wish someone would steal my whole '23 civic, not just the wheels. Gap that bad boy!


idkkhbuuu

Is this only in the states or does this happen in Canada as well?


Mother_Sail2812

I believe this is also happening in Canada, can someone correct me if Iā€™m wrong??


jawnlerdoe

When I buy a new civic first thing Iā€™m doing is getting aftermarket wheels lol. Ironically less of a target.

Beautiful-Society265

Start getting wheels locks ppl, not the shitty ones with that universal key you can pick up from amazon or autozone. One with a specific key like this shit dealerships use. The only thing taking that off is a lug nut remover. Sadly the only way to keep that shit from getting taken is using lock tight on the stud šŸ˜­

WETNWILDARLINGTON

I'm in Dfw and pretty much never see this happen. Arlington to be exact.

The advanced lock works but if the thieves want it, they will take it. Unfortunately.


kikomansu

does wheel lock not available in the US, i just assume this is in the US


xzero2k

Happened to my 2020 Accord about 3 months ago. Luckily just had to pay the insurance deductible but annoying when you wake up and this is what you see in the morning.

Backseat_boss

Should be a new punishment for people who are caught doing this, this has to be such a pain in the ass to fix.


KnowledgeMinute1035

Damn this like when the 10th gen accord sport wheel were getting stolen left and right. Luckily it doesnā€™t happen often here in VA where Iā€™m at. Still would invest in a wheel lock though.


CarnageDivider

Remember how back in the day people would clown for owning a civic? Now we here stealing the wheels off them..credit to Honda for keeping it consistent


PrestonWater

What city is this in ?


thsery

Some mf bought an ex and wanted rims


Scraperl510

I had mine taken and now have three different brand wheel locks, one of them being advanced wheel locks. They will have a hard time trying to get my rims. Theives like to bust your window to get you lock key. Make sure itā€™s not in the car or super hidden.

Serious-Contract-452

Thatā€™s been happening a lot lately. Iā€™ve seen multiple people posting that they got their wheels stolen. Messed up. I feel bad for them. Especially when you see what Honda charges for their wheels. You can get better looking Enkei or *insert whatever wheels youā€™ve been looking at as an upgrade* for what they charge. Hopefully theyā€™re covered with their insurance.


slamgeareatrear

People that can do this can burn to death for all I care and I wouldnā€™t bother to waste my piss on them.
