Swap my 20" oz with PS4S new tires on my car and uploaded the photo on my facebook. That same evening, someone came to slash all four of my tires...
Alarm went off at 1:30am, my phone beep me to notify me, i checked gps and my car still on drive way so i thought false alarm and took my time to put on a jacket and went out to take a look and found all 4 tires are completely flat.
No suspect or car can be seen.
Called police and they told me they are practicing social distancing and i just suck my own thing...
Wont even come to file a case and told me just do it online.. amd claim insurance..
2g gone.. big sucky day
It just sucks that they'll happily write you a ticket for social distance violations but property damage? Oh well.

Darn shame about the slash, who wins? Rates can go up for all of us from acts like this. The perp prolly has insurance so they in an odd way, hurt themselves.

This sort of was a social distancing infraction.
Someone got closer than six feet with a utility knife.

Protect yourself with video. There are many overt and covert options, overt is a better deterrent for watching, post it. I hope you get everything covered. Depending on your insurance company they might only pay for OEM tire replacements even if you produce a receipt,

Probably somebody was jealous, look for repeated drive by from orange Kia Stingers, any yellow cars, record plates, Someone you know might know someone who could have a look see in LE.

Some people do stuff like this on a dare to see if they get caught, if not, the car itself might disappear next One good crime enables another, it has happened. There are still old school motion sensitive car alarms with location/risk specific modes so someone in a spot next to you doesn’t tickle it daytime at work yet nighttime mode could of perhaps yelped before crawling scum got started. These typically reset or more sdvanced systems call/alert you instantly. Problem is, these can cost several thousand. I had an entry level one 10 years ago and could leave windows down, people could walk by. If they lingered, warned, reach inside, full alarm, windows roll up, guess who disabled reversing? Never caught anyone and they’d just break the window but I felt better.

Yeah man that sucks. Funny that you put the police notice over the plate. Good idea. And is that another Type R behind the yellow one?
Whenever I see stuff like this makes me glad I can park my cars off street in a locked area. Good luck with everything bro.
I normally park my car in garage.. but that day i just changed the wheel and got lazy.. didnt move around the car and leave it on drive way..
The car behind is a sport hatch.. i did hella amount of work on it ..

I filed police case online, called insurance.. gave them receipt.. and now waiting for reimbursement...
I will go get cup2 this time, heard it grip so well and tread will last a good 2 years.

I did get alert from my phone but by the time i went out... they are gone.. neighbour of entire street checked their cam but couldnt pick up any suspect.

Might get flamed for this but found a Mishimoto intake for very cheap and decided to buy it and heat tape it to see if it would help with complaints that some people had of it soaking heat. Taped all exterior sides. We shall see...if not, back to the PRL/ K&N

Installed JDM/EDM clear side markers. Didn't know the light sockets aren't USDM compatible. Had to dremel out two additional tabs on the USDM sockets and swap over to JDM makers. Job done but just took a little longer than expected with little room to do the work.

Finished product with LED amber bulb.

Later I found out that Honda actually makes another set of clear side markers that don't require modification. Part number is 33800-TEM-M01-LR. But that's after the fact and they're quite a bit more than what I paid for my set (used).

“Customize - to modify or build according to individual or personal specifications or preference: to customize an automobile.”

I guess I was into comics as a kid. Tried to spruce up the somewhat understated TSW Interlagos. The inner step lower level fit these decals best and gives deeper look.

One down, three to go.

Not many left in 19”x9.5”, under $175 each for Rotary Forged @ CARID & BBWheels. Guaranteed R fit, +41 offset but they also make a 33. There are 18 & 20” too, offset varies by size, flat wheel but fits big calipers.

Maybe they wanted to steal your wheels and realized they couldn't because of your badass lug nuts? Then they just wanted to do something else instead. Do you have an aftermarket alarm?

I know this won't be for everyone but ordered some aerosol aegean blue paint and paint matched the engine cover. The red stuck out a little too much for my taste with the other mods I have

I LOVE THIS! Where did you get the paint from..?

Bought it off Amazon - some company sells the aerosol kits that come with the paint code, primer, clear, and cleaner. They are out of stock now bc of the C19 crisis

To add to this for those that don't have a Dremel or want to use a Dremel, I was able to remove those tabs cleanly with a pair of dykes. The plastic is soft.

To remain PC, they’re really diagonal cutting pliers.

Down the street they had several old carpet remnants rolled up by the mailbox for pickup. I then realized, not that it matters, it was the two ladies with short hair, lots of tatts. I guess the rugs had been shorn down about as far as two could nibble. What kind of pliers were those again?
