This disclosure is directed to systems and methods that determine theft of a wheel on a vehicle using a capacitive proximity sensor system. The systems and methods determine that a vehicle is parked, and then receives information indicative of a capacitance at a first sensor positioned proximate a wheel well of the vehicle. The systems and methods further determine, based on the information, that the capacitance exceeds a first threshold. The systems and methods further determine, based on the information, that the capacitance exceeds the first threshold for a period of time that exceeds a second threshold. The systems and methods further send a message to a mobile device in response to capacitance exceeding the first threshold for the period of time that exceeds the second threshold.
