Stolen Wheels!!!!! ANGRY

HKYStormFront

sounds like a great plan but i would be surprised if they went to that much trouble... least from my experience. of course my sub and Zune were not worth as much as wheels...

yea i understand what you are saying, but your sub and zune are a different kind of issue. people will always smash windows/steal things from inside a car if they are left inside. the key is not leaving valuables inside the car. this rim stealing thing, its a real problem on long island/new york metro area, and its very systematic and planned. there are groups of people and they do it many times over and over to entire neighborhoods etc. its a crime ring and it needs to be stopped. plus, stealing a zune or a sub is petty theft in the eyes of the law. stealing an entire set of wheels is grand larceny (which is a felony offense) once it becomes multiple occurences which are planned, you have conspiracy. These are major crimes with serious sentences they get caught.

i feel ya, plus i (apparently) left my doors unlocked because my locks were not tampered with and my windows were in tact. i say "apparently" because my friend was driving my truck 2 years later (just a few months ago) and his ipod got stolen out of the truck and he knows for a fact he locked it so apparently something screwy's going on. i would say we are hitting the unlock button in pocket but if you do and don't open the door within 60 seconds or so, they lock back so i'm not sure what's going on

That really sucks man, and its pretty scary to see this constantly happening in NY/Long Island. Im especially worried with my anniversary wheels. I have the oem locking lugs, but I might order a set of these too:

JDM MUTEKI WHEEL LUG NUT M12 x 1.25 OPEN ENDED BLACK: eBay Motors (item 310193958307 end time Jun-10-10 18:36:46 PDT)

Those plus the oem style locking lug might be enough to make them not bother.

Seriously ... stick some razors behind the wheels - at least you got some blood... This is so lame... I hope you find those fvcks...

This is to cheer you up:
Thief caught with stolen wheels/tires.

Gee

I dunno - seasoned operators don't leave lugs lying around...that smacks of a hasty retreat, eg. a neighbours light going on or a noise of a car pulling up nearby as someone comes home etc.
Seasoned operators become more and more brazen as they go along, and are would be less likely to leave evidence lying around and be ruffled by nearby noises/lights etc, ....

its tricky though,...

what do you guys think of these?

esfourteen

he means these:

KYO-EI - Dency 2000 Lock Nuts - Nengun Performance

Jeffblue

Yea those!.... how did i manage that. did i do image by accident?



Yea i'm pissed. i'm putting it in the garage immediately after i get it back today. i am going over to the alarm installer to schedule an appt for next week to have a viper installed. I'm debating over whether i should go for the remote start and or smart start (for iphone).

until an alarm is in this thing, its not spending the night outside anywhere.

Dude im so sorry to see this, youve got to catch these people, even if you have to "hire" some people who take an alternative approach to dealing with these types of things. Justice is clearly not being served, the police could care less. COntinue doing your research to locate these guys and then seek some extra help. Be smart about it, get your rims back, get a proper alarm and move on. This kind of stuff really irks me, some low class, idiotic individual planned this, they will not stop until they get caught.......ohhh man im so mad right now.....

Shift

Uh why wasn't it there in the first place.....

I bought this car for myself 3 weeks ago as i was about to finish my undergrad. I moved back home and have only been here for 3 days. i was going to clean the garage out this weekend so i could move the car in. There was no place to get the alarm installed where i was at school, and i was thinking i'd be ok for 5 days, but apparently not. very frustrating. I have compiled a whole list of information/evidence that i have tried to give to the police but they really don't care. I have told them i'm not trying to (For lack of a better phrase) spin there wheels. i'm not trying to get mine back. i'm trying to help so this DOESNT HAPPEN ANYMORE. If anyone else on here wants to help, i will post his phone number later when i get home. if you google it, you will find recent for sale threads for sets of:

24" avanti wheels
audi a8 wheels
g37s wheels
volk wheels
my 370z wheels.

once i put the number up, keep your eyes open, if you find a sale thread with that number, the wheels are probably stolen. he is from st albins queens/jamaica queens NY

WTF dude!!!!!!!!! You just got the car!!!!!! I'm so sorry I can just imagine how you feel. I am so lucky I have a garage to keep mine in once it gets hear. Cant belive this.

If I had to park my Z outside I would have an alarm and low jack installed. I am sorry for the loss to your Z but at least you have your Z. Better than it being gone then found stripped as others have discussed.
