I started to say something funny, but I just can't do it. This is horrible and I absolutely, positively hate a thief. This is nuts.

 

yea there had to be more than one van to be able to hall the wieght of all those wheels plus their tools plus all the cinder blocks needed to drop the cars on, and the cars were hurt.....rocker panels pushed in from the blocks and some of the rotors mite have gotten damaged. so as for sell wise i dont know how my work is going to deal with that part. and yea 36 wheels just from my place plus the other dealers, very ballsy. yea i know my camera sucks its an old blackberry but i dont care dont take pics much anyways

 

^ ouch! I had a customer who was an Audi dealer and they had a disgruntled employee come in and key EVERY panel on EVERY single new car on the lot. They had insurance, but a $30k deductible. Had to sell each car as "used" and took a huge loss. The only good thing was that they caught the guy. I hate to see this but I hope they're caught.

 

wow.

 

That is insane.

I thought it was only the first Challenger that got its wheels jacked, but then I kept scrolling down and saw the rest of the cars. I was like

 

Looks like you guys got robbed by a formula 1 pitstop team. Start your search there. They probably completed the robbery in around 6 minutes too from the looks of it

 

Dodge apparently has a new Immobilizer system. :-)

Dang. That sucks.

Reminds me of the wheels stolen off Chevy Tahoes and Escalades -- http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/ne...cc4c03286.html

Them's tough times out there.

 

Thieves should be sent to prison under the guise of being pedos... And thrown into general pop. That will teach them a lesson.

 

Guido probably lead the attack... pitstop...

...unless he's in on a "Group buy".

This is happening locally too.

 

err, actually you work at the dealer that i posted teh link for.

 

The ghetto isn't too far from there, but i am very sure it wasn't them.

 

WTF. That's crazy that so many people are swiping stock wheels these days.

 

its by far the easiest, most expensive car part to steal, and sell.

fast, no Vin #s, no risk of damage, and a high demand market with little suspiscion.

 

From the article: "each wheel weight around 100lbs" Idiotic journalists.

 

but the ghetto isnt close enough for this, these were pros that prospected the lot and knew where the cars were sitting and yea my dealership is in that log lol, they hit us sutliff chevy and lawerence chevy and tried to hit faulkner but were imposed on by cleaning crew but still not caught

 

 

the 20" truck rim with a tire is probably close.

 

This reminds me...I really need to get the Gorilla wheel locks for my Challenger....been putting that off...

 

^ you're running with no locks right now?

 

hasnt been an issue in 18 months.

remember this isnt my daily driver. sp its usually driven on cruises and to car shows. It rarely gets parked anywhere except my garage.

 

holy shit... hahaha that takes balls!

 

Keep forgetting the Prius is the DD.

 

This happened at carmax here a few days ago:



Apparently the thieves stole a huge UHaul from next door the day before and took 48 wheels over night.

 

is it just me or did anyone else notice the sign in the background?
"done fast, done right"

sorry to hear about this, but that's what insurance is for i guess

 

That better then the whole car missing.... i have seen my share of that.... sucks....

 

Did you just change your screen name....?

because I was going to say, funny I bought my first car next door at Pohanka Lexus

 

thats wild they hit those cads, what area was that in

 

Time to put on locks on every new car that comes in? It's probably not too hard to get a key, but anything helps. I helped a family member get a '10 CR-V a year ago and while the dealer negotiated on price, wheel lock was a mandatory accessory because it would "cost even more to take it off and put an ordinary lock back on"

 

^ I would've just bought it from the parts dept.

 

Stupid question: Since rims are such high dollar items, do they have serial numbers that can be matched to the car's VIN?

 

no vins on the wheels i know the top end toyota tundra has vin numbers on their wheels but then again those wheels are a G a piece and you need the vin just to order them from the dealership

 

wow

 

It's stuff like this that drives a man crazy enough to want to run down the 405, naked.

 

thats incredible!!
