Someone tried stealing my wheels!

I came out of a club last sunday night, pretty late. Technically monday morning I had parked in a pay parking lot because this was the same area in which I received my maxima hatch-back courtesy of some drunken f*ckup pulling into the back end of my parked car going about 70km/h .. Was approximately $6600 US worth of damage, so I had been paying for parking when I go to this spot.

Well on my way home, My CD player skips afew times, and at first I thought it was just a bumpy part of the road. However, I travel this route a lot, and it's never skipped this much. I turn the stereo off and I'm hearing this clicking sound coming from the front right wheel. I pull over, and all 4 of my non-security lugnuts were tightenable via fingers. I did a walkaround and none of the other lugs had been touched. I took a chance and drove the last 5 minutes into my parking lot, cause I didn't have the right tool on me for the lugs on my new wheels (18x8 Tantrums) ..

I'm beginning to hate Toronto, every street corner is some sack of sh*t that'll either mess up with no regard, or try to steal from your car (and/or you.) What the f*ck is wrong with people today?

Moral of the story: take a cab, it'll be cheaper in the long run.
