    5 lug nuts can be loosened in about 5 seconds with a heavy duty impact wrench. If you’ve ever seen tires get stolen it only takes about 15 seconds to pull off.

    That will be enough to disable the car. It’ll get moving before they notice it.

    Make sure the battery is at full charge. Chevy typically uses 12mm or 14mm lug nuts in their trucks.

    Used motor oil and sand in a water balloon also completely obstructs the view through any window and can’t be cleaned off.

      Those nut sizes seem way off. The smallest I have seen are 17mm, with most cars and light vehicles being 19-22mm

        12mm and 14mm sound right for the size of the bolt itself, the bolt head is gonna be larger. I know my car uses 14mm bolts with a 17mm head
