He'll probably post it for sale and the owner of the car will probably be looking for a set of wheels.

They're just like any other wheels. Unless you have some unique locks, they're just standard 6 point lock (I believe thats OEM on LS460s).

I am surprised. I didnt think people in that part of the world needed to steal. I hate the stock wheels on the LS. It was probably for the best

Look like someone who stole those wheel is a big fella in order to yank the wheels off as the break disc are near to the groud. Always amazes me how creative people get when they prep a car for wheel jack. lol

There's a much wider disparity between the rich and the poor, there, than there is here.
