Damn... check with your school maybe they have a security cam that can see where you were parked, if they got tape and the cops can ID the bastardo degenerado[s] you could have them charged with attempted murder,... an imaginative DA could even go for one of those new terrorism charges that dubya got on the books... something along the lines of the accused was "trying to make people affraid to drive their cars" or " endevouring to use the vehicle as a tool in a random act of domestic terrorism." To bad we ain't in saudi...you could chop of his hand and no one would say boo to you.

I had this same thing happen on my 87 runner, I couldn't find enough replacment lug nuts at the auto parts store, I ended up having to go to three stores to find enough.

well workign at les schwab i see soemone come in every once in awhile usually on a tow truck with a compeltly trashed brake rotors, bumpers and most everything else important. But any way my uncle is into the jeep thing and has a pretty cool rig. Anyway awhiel back he had a regear done and the shop improperly installed the axel shaft c clip and whatever else holds it on there on a heep and next day on the way to work, 70 mph on the floating bridge in seattle the whole right rear axle assembly decide to pull out. The 38 tsl actually stuck in the windsheild of a ladies car lucky on the passenger side.

You should check the condition of the spare tire hanger periodically too.
My spare was there one day and a few weeks later I was at my mechanic with my baby on the hoist and it was gone... I hope it did'nt kill anyone...

I had this set on my Talon. They all require the key.

Sorry that happened, really not cool. Had that acutally happen to me in my GF's Honda coming back from Seattle, we pulled over and I checked the wheels and evrything else and couldn't figure it out--we got home and for some reason I didn't first check the lugs...2 studs had broken off and only one lug was pretty much holdin the darn thing on, SCARY! Time to invest in locking lugs $20 at Schwab.
