I'm aware that about 10 years ago headlight theft was a serious problem in the NYC Metro area for the 02-03 Maximas. Does the problem still exist up there? Thinking of taking my 03 Maxima up there in a few weeks.

 

Naw.
They just take the car now.

 

I live in NYC had the car for 4 years+, never a problem,
Don't be scared, out here most of us don't bite...

 

That's because hid kit soared upto around $300 nowadays it's around $50 on ebay, you should be fine with those headlights now unless someone wants oem lol

 

No lol

 

Hope you don't have a lip OP.

 

I might need a second pair of headlamps... where are you going to be in NY, I can be close to you in 2 hrs......lmao

 

That was 10 years ago? OMG I'm old lol. I remember that the Acura TLs/CLs had their HIDs swiped too. sad times

 

Lmfao, because taking the car is so much easier eh?

 

 

Yeah... the professionals just pull up in a tow truck.

Good luck stopping that

 

slammed car

 

They don't care about your bumper.

 

They better ****ing care or I'll come out with a kitchen utensils and beat the f8ak(ing) (sh8t) out of them. I have nothing to lose

 

So as long as they carefully steal your car, you'll cool with it. Makes total sense

 

How can they tow a slammed car without making a ton of noise?

 

Their are tow trucks and even people's converted personal pick up trucks that have these gizmos that are like 1" thick only and go around the front and slide in around the wheels, lift up, and they're gone in a matter of 15 - 20 seconds with minimal noise.

 

What if the driveway is on a slope??

 

We call them Crab Grabbers.looks like 2 crab claws from the back of a pickup truck lock around your wheels and ****** ya.OTH city towing just wraps a chain around your wheel and pulls your car sideways then jacks it.

 

What about speed bumps! I even scrape on those damn speed humps. Where it is not exactly a bump, just a small hump.

 

Are you re,re or just plain stupid? i think a professional will wait till your on a flat surface.

Op..should Ride the subway or a cab if you don't want your car to have a lot of chances of being broken into or stolen.

 

These wackos go to to your job, school etc?

 

Lol at the responses - I'm taking my Max to NYC.

 

Ah well somebody finally found it under my old beaten path..

 

NYPD tow trucks uses them.

 

Wow..hard to believe the time flew by so fast. IT was a huge problem back in the days..About 50-70 percent of people who had these cars in nyc had the headlights stolen. I know guys who had their lights stolen 2 to 3 times. Not a problem anymore at all.

 

^^^^^^ This is true ^^^^^^^^ LOL LOL
