Some idiot stole my lug nuts

Well I'm thankful to be alive....so I roll in my friends neighborhood around 2 am in my loud *** olds and I park it and go to sleep. I get up to go to work and I get to the end of the road and my wheel falls off. Upon further inspection found 4 of my lug nuts gone one of which was thrown in the woods my rear quarter is smashed and I'm out for blood not to mention it totaled my aluminum wheel

I feel for you. I had a similar thing happen in school. Locking lug nuts were the only thing that saved my wheels from disappearing.

Just saying, if your aluminum wheels were new they will take a few times to set in if not torked regularly. If not new you got bad neighbors or too loud a car for public consumption...Tedd

This is why I don't leave my car on the street. Or my driveway.
It's a shame but it's a sign of the times.

Sorry for your loss. I feel for you.

When I was a teenager (30 years ago...) and worked at an auto store on a Friday night, after the shift was done at 10 pm, it was time to take the Chevelle (sorry, no Olds back then, I was young and dumb) down the road to go cruising. While on a highway, I had a huge vibration from back end... All lug nuts on a rear wheel were gone except my one locking lug. The wheel survived as did my car and I, but was very upset that while I was working, somebody was either trying to steel my aluminum slots with M50's, or trying to cause me harm...
Sorry your experience did damage to your car.

It was done out of spite so really if I find out who done it they will go to jail for vandalism and attempted murder cause had I been going any faster I might have been severely injured or killed

Could have been worse Bill. He could have gone after YOUR nuts.
