Default Long Island Jeepers Beware

My beast had a literally brand new set of 33" Grabber AT2's on pro comp 97's stolen right in my driveway.

It really sucks to know that some people are so ballsy to steal right out of my own driveway. Don't give me the lecture about wheel locks and ***** I've already heard it all. I had planned to buy them the same weekend I was robbed actually.

Whoever felt like they deserved my gear for free I hope you enjoy it and I hope karma comes and bites your d*ck off.

dude, anyone who gives you **** about buying wheel locks can suck a ****. They've probably never had anything stolen from them in their own home. Some Mexicans (not being racist) broke into my dad's truck and stole several hundreds of dollars worth of tools, in our driveway. It's an awful feeling.

Wheel locks aren't that hard to get off. Stuff like that keeps honest people honest, but scum sucking thieves don't give two ****s about them. **** thieves.

FML, I just put a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's on my daughters XJ. Where on the Island do you live, PM me if you don't want to answer publicly.

Wow, I'm so sorry to see that happen to you.

I would hate the feeling of that happening to me too, my Jeep is my daily driver and if I were immobilized because of it, I'd be pressing charges left and right.

I recently installed an outdoor camera with night vision that points right at my Jeep. If anyone ever did that to me, I'd hope to catch them.

You can say what town you from. Im curious. As for wheel locks, any good thief knows how to hammer a smaller bit on a have at it.

OP, every day, check CL. People that steal $1000 worth of tires will see for 3-500 for quick cash. Check both nassau and suffolk county. If you're close to your neighbors ask them if they've may have seen anything.

That stinks. Have had our vehicles and home broken into several times. It's a horrible feeling.

I would also check with your neighbors to find out if any of them happen to have a camera that might have seen your driveway. Sorry that happened to you, it's a helpless, frustrating feeling.

I hope you can get them back, or at least catch the thieves. I know how bad it can feel, had someone pull in and load up my riding mower, tools, weed eater and chain saw a few years ago. Never did catch them

Last year someone stole a 5 gallon gasoline container right off my front porch. I really hope they put it in their car because it was actually full of kerosene :P

That's so lame. A fancy alarm with tit and shock sensors is on my to-do list.

You know what to do when you find those f-ers

Who ever done it you probably know them,Its almost always neighbors or friends/family that steals from you.Locking lug nuts are nothing the sockets to get them off fit in your pocket and can be used with air but its a pain.If you can own a gun their get one and clean it on your porch once a week it stops all crime.

That's awful man! I'm from L.I. and that's one of the reasons I currently live in WY. My Brother is NYPD and lives in Sound beach. X2 on check out all craigslist postings for the next month or so. Might catch those bastards! Good Luck.
