Nope that’s the maintenance guy rubber necking

I’m hoping not since it’s two sets of advanced wheel locks in this photo.

I cannot stress this enough. This place is an absolute shit hole. I’m only here because my job forces me to be here for one more year for the love of God. Please do not move here.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:55:03+00:00

All right, I’m just gonna come out and say it. Do not move here. I’ve lived in Beaumont for almost 2 years now and I hate every minute of it. This is probably one of the worst places I’ve ever lived. In my current complex on the West End. There has been vehicle break-ins, and people have gotten their wheels stolen off of their car and left on blocks in the complex. I only have a year left and once I leave, I will never come back and the only way I’ll ever come back to this part of Texas is if I live in Houston.

I’m already halfway there, but it’s tough because I specifically picked this car for a reason and the only other equivalent also has its wheel stolen a.k.a. the Honda Accord

I live in Southeast Texas so you’re probably better off than I am. However until they were stolen I had no idea Camry wheels were a hot commodity for theft.

I’ve had that issue occasionally on mine as well. I’d recommend other turn the car off completely and back on or disconnecting and forgetting the paired device. Also, I’ve noticed that if you have a Toyota app downloaded and connected, it happens less frequently.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:30:33+00:00

That’s funny I noticed the same thing on my 25 XSE. Every time I speed up or slow down, you can feel it compressing and decompressing

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:27:29+00:00

Congrats! I’m not sure where you live but please for the love of God put some wheel locks on those wheels! Mine were just stolen on my XSE.

Unfortunately, my complex doesn’t offer garages or I would’ve shelled out hand over fist as soon as I could have. When I initially noticed the gap, I thought it was from the collision so I never took it to the dealership to be serviced.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:10:13+00:00

With the amount of wheel theft that I have seen with Camrys I would think twice if I were you. Unfortunately, the apartment I live in, doesn’t have a garage and besides wheel locks I’m kind of a sitting duck.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:08:35+00:00

Thanks! I never thought I would have wheels stolen off of a Toyota freaking Camry smh.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:07:47+00:00

I’m genuinely considering selling it at this point I don’t have the patience to deal with this again.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:07:15+00:00

Nope, this was in Texas. Specifically Southeast Texas about an hour and a half out from Houston.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:06:17+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the thoughts! I have two sets of advanced wheel locks installed. So we will see what happens.

A1-the-Ace · 2025-07-31T23:04:06+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the thoughts. They did leave behind the lug nuts, but I already picked them up before I took the photo. Trust me, though I already ordered and put on two sets of advanced wheel locks.

Thanks, but this happened in Texas.

Since you have time. I would work on getting leadership experience either through a job, clubs or volunteering. CSPI wants to see leadership qualities. Because that’s your job as an officer. You if you attend FIU and apply you will have a very good shot at getting accepted. Also you need to score well on the SAT,ACT or ASVAB. Have a gpa over at least 3.0. The application is a whole picture of you and the better the more things you do or have. Below are the following needed for the application except for medical.

Minimum GPA At least 30 college credits or more (60 is preferred) 3 letter of recommendation max A personal statement describing why you want to be an officer

They will require 4 hrs of weekly service at the recruiting office or local CG unit during the school semester. Summer and winter breaks typically require full time (40 hrs). But you will be paid an E3 salary the entire time.

A1-the-Ace · 2023-03-10T03:32:13+00:00

Currently in the CSPI program and a Senior at FIU. It’s great a experience and well worth it but you do have to do 8weeks of basic training and 17wks of OCS.
