Default kinda scary stuff

so ya today i was at school and i park on the street cuz i'm cheap and cant really afford to park in the parking struckture for $7 for the day that i'm down there 6hrs (city parking sux i hate the city for it) but ya so i got done with class got in my truck and drove to work. i got to work and then later on i brought my truck in to wash it (i wash cars at a lexus dealership) and i started cleanin the rims and i'm like uhhhhh im missin 2 lug nuts!!!!!!!! ya and the 3 remaining ones were all next to eachother so it was a lil scary knowing that i even made it to work lol but ya there was only one tech there but he didnt have any lug nuts and stupid toyota and their metric ways didnt have anything cuz i was gunna try to move a lug over to get a triangle (didnt know that i had a tire wrench in the back of my blazer) but no one there had anything that fit. and so while i'm at work i had my dad go out and get me 2 new lugs ($5 for 2 lug nuts and plastic caps) and luckily my coworker had some spare lug nuts that i put on just to last me till i got home. i made it home safe and everything but still thats scary that i drove to work w/ 2 missing lug nuts! (ik they were on on the way to school this morn cuz i was gone all weekend and had my blazer parked in the garage so someone musta tried stealin my tires while i was parked on the street). but ya everythings good now so i'm just glad my tire didnt come flying off and then having that side suspension all messed up lol

Knowing people that own Rim and Tire shops you find out the sad truth that they have a tool that can take off any locking lug just as fast as if they were not locking lugs at all, But at least it keeps the druggies from figuring it out. lol

Perhaps they were trying to scrap them at a salvage yard... get just the value of the metal lol... What kind of rubber are you riding on? perhaps they were after that? It is scary though to think that could happen almost anywhere... I only fear it because in that situation (where they manage to take all 4 rims) You're left stranded... (until friends come... but still)
