Possibly Stolen Roadster Wheels

Jeffblue · 07-01-2010, 12:52 PM

Hey guys, i was just browsing craigslist this morning and saw another ad up from the same phone number and location that had put my stolen wheels up for sale.

2010 370z wheels

has anyone had their 2010 370z roadster wheels stolen recently in the NY/NJ/CT Metro area?

this is the same person that took my wheels and now he's at it again. just figured i'd post this up in case someone had their roadsters' wheels jacked in the past few days.

howd he steal it from you

Cmike2780 · 07-01-2010, 03:15 PM

Did you call the cops on this guy.

Jeffblue · 07-01-2010, 10:04 PM

these arent mine. I found them on craiglist. They are from the same guy that came on here selling these: Nissan 370z 19 factory oem rims wheels & tires

this guy also stole mine and many others. when you see OEM wheels for sale for real cheap, they are usually stolen.

it pisses me off that he is still stealing wheels making money and cops wont do **** about it...

Jeffblue · 07-02-2010, 11:35 AM

yea they really don't care. i totally understand that they have more important crimes than theft to deal with. Drugs/murder/rape. but really, what do you think people are using that money for? people don't steal wheels or steal cars for the chop shop to feed their families. its probably to buy drugs.

When I read jeffblue's original post, this is exactly what I thought of. Get a bunch of guys to show up, block him, and proceed with the beatdown. Dangerous for sure, but payback supreme FTW!

Wouldn't it be Epic to show up with some friends and guns and Steal the wheels from him? Then try to return them to the owners. But then again, they would think you stole them and get in trouble with the law!

Cops spends more time and effort on people disobeying traffic laws than catching thiefs.

The simple logic:

Traffic tickets = incomes
Spending time to catch thiefs = expenses
Handcuffing the thiefs = more expenses (trial, jails and etc).

Income > Expenses.

Therefore, traffic tickets more important than catching thiefs.

true that. I had thought about that if i were to get pulled over. part of me would be thinking 'ok so you wont protect my car from thieves, but you will generate revenue from my my car because i went 10 mph over the speed limit?

Hey tjlazer, i see you have OEM RAYS FOR SALE. WHERE IS YOUR Z? I DONT SEE ANY PICS! omg you totally stole those! this is like the salem witch trials now! ( i gave you a bump on your sale thread)

its hard to sell wheels when you actually own them because you paid for them and people want to pay thief prices
