Default Help me catch my rim thieves!

Just happened like 10 minutes ago. I got the license plate number and car. License plate # is 4SSS394 3 hispanics in a gold/tan stock Toyota Camry 97-01. Cop said the area they live in El Monte but wouldn't give me the address. Help me catch these ******ers.. They stole 2 of my white gt-7 reps with new tires. If you guys see it online for sale let me know please. They are 17x7 not sure on offset. They were painted all white. Inside barrels were also white with some pretty new Dunlop SP 215/50-17. They aren't worth much but I would like to catch them and have them locked up.

What I don't get is, Why won't the police arrest them, especially if you got their license plate number? let alone give you their address?

nothing tonight. I stayed at the house and waited it out... Thought they might of tried to come back to get the other 2 rims.. I am pretty sure whoever did it was camping out and waiting.. I have like 4 sets of wheels in my garage and they wanted that set of wheels. You can't see the rims from the front of the shop and I did not let anyone come check them out so I don't know how the hell they knew it was there..

I caught them in the middle of it... They knew when to go in and get them too -_- like 10 minutes after I went inside.. I was outside for like 4 hours washing/buffing my car and then went inside when I was done to wash up.. That is when they came in the front gate of my house and went in the back and took 2 rims(2 guys 1 rim each; 1 driver waiting) My dog started barking (lame dog didn't attack) so I went to check it out. When I went out the side door of the house the driver saw me and probably told the 2 guys that I see them and the 2 guys were at the car putting 2 rims in the car. I ran to the front and they took off but I got the plates and knew what car it was already. The house is in Pomona and they came from El Monte so I am guessing they knew about it somehow.

The Pomona PD said they let El Monte PD know and that they would go to the house but they haven't called me back yet.. I asked the cop to give me the address but they wouldn't give it to me. peeps help me keep an eye out for it online if you guys go on other forums and see it for sale.
