STOLEN Rays Nismo 370z Wheels - Philadelphia Area STOLEN

The dealership insurance should take care of it. And yes inside job is what I was thinking too.

sucasa · 05-21-2011, 09:41 AM

Sucks to hear bro. Hope you get new wheels soon. Shouldn't be a problem at all w/ insurance.

I wish US government would allow this to be legalized but i am sure it wont.
Currently this anti-theft system is legal in South Africa

I bet the dealership is going to wash their hands and tell the owner to deal with their insurance.

I guess some kind of distinct marking could help you determine whether the wheels are yours...if you even find them.

He had no luck finding the wheels as of yet.

really a shame, I hate thieves. We all work so hard to nice things only to have some loser come and take it and damage the car to boot. Nice. Gotta love people.

Some other things your dad could do (or you although it looks like you live in a different area) would be to check cardomain for local cars displaying "new rims!" and also to stop by the dealership a couple times and just cruise the employee lot. If it is an inside job, you never know how dumb the thief might be. And for the cardomain, one of my friends had his rims stolen a few years back and saw someone showing pictures of their "new" wheels shortly thereafter.

Damn Z's are getting molested left and right.

Sorry to hear what happened.
Hope your Z gets back to perfect condition. Good Luck with everything.

Another bad week for Zs.

I lived in Philadelphia for seven years and had three entire cars stolen and my car broken into over 20 times. It got so bad that I eventually rigged handles with razor blades. They stole my battery almost 20 times and even took my alternator one time. That city is full of crooks.

I believe this! My dad has had the car since early December and he lives right down in the middle of town. So far, he's had a break in attempt, hit and run (quarter panel), and now this.

I hope this doesn't get too out of hand...

F$%King P&@@ies, this gets me worked up I hope you find them first and beat the F&^k out of them.

Wouldn't be surprise that this happened. I assume the dealership you're talking about is the one at the airport auto mall on Essington Ave. The area is huge and not well guarded, very easy for someone to walk up, take their time and steal the wheels. Got my car from the same dealership, service techs there seems shady and even asked me once if I wanted to race for pinks. I'll keep an eye out for your dad's wheels.

daisuke149 · 05-21-2011, 10:50 PM

the dealership btw should cover everything. Make sur ethey dont try to pressure your dad into having your own insurance cover it.

urdeliveryguy · 01-25-2012, 10:42 PM

Damn.. wish I saw this thread before I bought my car from this Stealership they are definitely a bunch of asshats. I've had to go back to them twice now about misc. Bs

martin82 · 01-25-2012, 11:28 PM

Maybe we should all just paint with some nailpolish or something a number or something on the back/inside of the rims.........
