Saw this posted over on JDM... Poster, said this was taken in Chinatown after WekFest show....

I mean the wheels have got to be expensive to be worth the trouble right? But then on that model/condition LS....?

Oh well, it is the world we live in.....just be careful, be smart. At least they left parting gifts.

Oh, yeah. That makes it even more less likely. I have a feeling, the owner took the wheels off to have some work done. I mean, why leave the jack? What sort of wheels would be worthy from an old ES?

How are you so sure? Looks like a stock ES to me. I am sure they made more than one in that color.

Jack and jack stands.. if it would of been a crook, they would have put wood or cinder blocks under it. maybe it was the owner taking them off? Its hard to work on a car when you don't have a garage/space.
