Karma will come to those who steal. I guess you just gotta make sure everything is really secure and not stealable. I just hope people dont start going after TTE lips, Mines screwed in so i dont think it's going anywhere. But if it does, Wow i'd be devestated.

Get it molded in and make it look like a part of the bumper. Unless they take the whole bumper, then you're out of luck lol

Why don't you just bate them, do as you usually do and just sit in a van parked nearby watching with a camera.. Take some shots when they arrive and call the cops. Then, just go out there and detain them until the cops get there. Or just beat the hell out of them, either way works!!

Well lets see, Cali has industry, jobs, stability, weed (more shops then anywhere in the USA) and most of all, lots of imports.

Thats like asking, what draws people to New York?

These are not bad states, instead, there are a lot more people of the lower class that choose to vandalize to have side income.

Sorry to hear about what happen. Just let it go and move on. Stuff like this happe to all cars. Things that is going to get stolen are the obvious like visor, roof spoilier, trunk spoillier, our fogs, ect. Best to do is get a real alarm and hope for the best. If the theif want it that bad they gonna take it even the whole car.

Also to who ever posted above about scouting out for the theifs and trying to beat them up. LOL. Man I have heard of story where wheels are pull straight off the car without a jack by one person. Theifs are usally armed and do not care about your saftey. They will kill before getting cought. Just let the police deal with it because you already paid for with your tax $$$.

Can you get in trouble for using the scout/stakeout vehicle to mow over someone trying to jack your rims? I think here in Texas you can use lethal force to defend your property. Not 100% sure on that so don't quote me on it lol
