Stolen lights
So apparently some a**hole decided to steal my 40 inch rigid light bar, rigid d2 lights and the mounts for them while I was sleeping yesterday during the day or while I was at work during the night not sure when. Contacted the police and talked to insurance company to see if the would hopefully cover getting me new ones. My only concern with getting new ones is that this will happen again. Is there any aftermarket bolts that replace the torx bolts that the mounts go into on the jeep since all they did was take out the 6 torx bolts and cut the wires off. Seems like this would only take a minute to do and I would at least like to make it a challenge for someone next time.

Sorry about what happened some people are just real a holes..... Only thing I can think of is tamper proof torx the kind that's on seat belt anchors they have the post in the center not that someone can't purchases them but they are not as common as a plain old torx..

I did eventually put some Lightforce security bolts on my 170 HID's. I'm sure they would work for lots of things, but if somebody wants your stuff bad enough, they won't stop because of a couple of nuts.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys. Posted on my local jeep club website saying my light bar and d2 lights were stolen and gotta admit that jeep people are some of the nicest people there are around. Within an hour it posted all over the Maritime provinces on all the jeep/off-roading sites and have even have a company in New Brunswick offering a reward for the return of my stuff. Will keep you all posted on what happens and what I end up getting.
