Yeah, this car probably had wheel locks, too. They mean nothing. As a former mechanic, if you have the right tools, you can take them right off. With ease if they are torqued to spec. They're nothing but placebo security.

Then an auction probably isnt for you. Me and a friend used to flip. Buy at an auction, bring up to par and sell. They will need work. Theyre sold there and not at dealerships for a reason.

Yeah, thankfully, the block I'm on we all keep and eye out. We've caught people snooping mail boxes, stealing packages, and trying to wander into yards. All sorts of dumb shit. The homeless, the ones with addiction and untreated mental health problems, are making the area somewhat hellish. I used to walk around here as a kid without issue, now there are baggies and needles everywhere. Not to mention the "boom" parties, roving packs of bikes and other shit. It has gotten pretty fucked up.
Its kind of a "look nice" area now with a shitty under current. The ave has definitely been spilling over.
