A Gentle Reminder To Invest In Wheel Locks

Scumbags come in all colors and stripes, and they are attracted to all kinds of cars . . . what? You own an Accord? Sorry, Skippy, but Accords are popular with thieves because they’re popular, especially in the secondary parts market.

But we had to shed a tear for the owner of this Corvette that appeared in Corvette Blogger. A simple investment in wheel locks could have saved him some trouble.

The chief mechanic for Corvette Blogger says Chevrolet makes wheel locks for the C7 but they must be purchased separately as GM Part Number #19211919 from your local dealer. They will go a long way in preventing something like this for those who think they may have parked in a well-lit area but may also be underestimating the moxie of scumbags.

  1. Scumbags~~ That was my exact word after seeing the photo. Then my thoughts turned to appropriate punishment. Some consideration might be given for whatever the car is sitting on. A roll of paper towels?? The car being left unharmed would soften my anger toward retaliation. Ugh…
