This is why I spend a bit more and buy 2 different sets of wheel locks. But shouldn't there have been cameras in that apartment area?

How about the location of this apartment complex?

Certain areas of Mountain View, such as Shoreline movie theaters, are magnets for car thefts.

It worries me that the OSH site is just abandoned. I wonder if this is going to be a staging area for those who are about to go about unlawful activity. I wonder if Mountain View police are monitoring it. Does anyone have any knowledge of what is going to happen at the OSH site.

They're not professionals or else they'd take the cars, so wheel locks should do the trick.

I had this happen twice at the Americana. More than $2000 to replace the tires/rims. Then a few weeks later they stole my brand new unscratched rims/tires. I moved out a couple months later.
