What: Rim & Tire Theft
Where: Montrose Area
The Constable has reported some issues with the theft of rims and tires and wanted to advise people with expensive rims or tires that locking lug nuts are available.
Per the Constable: Here is one example of Lug Nut Wheel Locks. You can pay as much as you want for them, high or low. What you do is remove one of your regular lugs on each tire and replace it with this special lug. As you can see it has a design in the center that requires a special “key” to put it on and to take it off. On regular lug nuts, they are universal so any lug wrench will remove many different size nuts. This is a deterrent. These can be cut off but that takes a lot of time that a crook does not want to spend. You want them to see the special lug and move on to someone else. We have three trucks in our drive considering I have boys. All three trucks have locking lugs as deterrent. Hope this helps. They are available at any parts store.
Be safe,
Constable Alan Rosen
