Not that this was your fault by any means but this is exactly why I garage my car all the time. It doesn't fix the problem, in fact my house was broken in to and cars stolen from garage a few years ago...but the point is the less you leave out and accessible the more likelihood you won't see this happen to you.

Sorry to hear yet another story of someone leaving the car parked out in their driveway or street and having rims stolen. This definitely isn't the first time we've seen this...people just don't think it will ever happen to them...till it does.

Thanks for the sympathy. however, later that day i actually brought the car to have it dyno'd I was making 315bhp (Brick horse power). I'm not sure if you know the calcuation, but 1 brick horsepower = 35 wheel horsepower.

As far as a serial number is concerned. There is nothing. I would recommend etching something to uniquely identify your wheels in a discrete location. Then you can actually prove they are yours if they are stolen.

A brick horse power? Man, you need hell of a lot of ponies to pull all those bricks from under your car

I was in my last month of college when I bought the car home. After I graduated I came home and I had work that Monday, I planned on garaging the car from the very begining, and I was going to clean out the garage that nex weekend, however, 3 days after getting pmr, this happened. I didn't have time to clean the garage or get an alarm installed in that time. The car now goes in the garage, and has a viper alarm installed. Thieves never rest.

I'm just concerned if I go stay at my girlfriend's place and have to leave it in her driveway/ on the street.... But I should be ok with the alarm with tilt sensor and wheel locks right?

In fact, now I'm finding myself just totally paranoid about leaving my car anywhere, like going to the movies, mall, dinner, friends houses. I mean, I didn't count on being so paranoid about having my car being vandalized/wheels stolen. I have all the security measures in place, do you guys think I'm safe from this happening again?(I don't really go anywhere shady, just places anyone else would go like the movies or the mall, you think my car is pretty safe with the viper alarm/smart start/wheel locks?

You know I feel the same! It !@#$ing pisses me off I can't just live my life and enjoy my stuff. All in fear of some stupid a$$ hole messing with my car or ripping me off. Even going out to see a late movie or going out downtown to a bar, I never take my Z anymore! (Take my old boring SUV)

I had a GPS stolen in Oct, a smash and grab. Now I am paranoid on leaving it in my car. There are times I just leave it at home and I ended up needing to use it after all and got lost and was pissing a storm and was so !@#$ing mad, that I can't even use my own sh!t! (Didn't bring it because I did not want to carry it with me walking around a lake) It just makes me sick and I wish I could just smash someones head in for messing with someone elses property. Yes I am mad and need counceling!

I agree 100%. I work hard to get nice things and I don't need some jackA$$ coming along to screw it up or take it!

If you catch someone stealing your stuff you should be able to take a baseball bat to them!!!

Sometimes we all have to learn the hard way that in today's society we have to spend money just to protect the luxuries we work hard for.

I just hope that people see these kinds of stories and learn from them and become less ignorant and be proactive so it doesn't happen to them.

I'm ashamed to say I have friends that knew about what happened to me, didn't learn from it...then had the same thing happen to them.

Agreed. I asked the judge if I could just get 20 minutes in a closed room with one of the three guys caught in my case.

trust me, i feel paranoid all the time too. the truth of the matter is, MOST people do not have wheel locks, MOST people do not have security. and those are the people that get taken advantage of.... exactly like you did. Now you're not like most.
