TWong1200, you do know Karma works both ways, OP is paying karma now meaning 'it got him' for some past thingy, the thieves will pay karma later meaning 'will get him' in the future...

so when ppl say 'karma', just remember what it implies...

damn, on your own property too! these thieves won't stop at anything. definitely look into an aftermarket alarm, the sensitive the better. id have the authorities check for fingerprints on the stones holding the car up. hopefully those douches left behind some evidence. im sorry this had to happen man!

this is the first on CL i see a victim of stolen rims on front of their HOUSE, stock rims, and brake calipers? all signs show how low theives are nowadays =\ but since they took the calipers off the 350, i think they might be 250 owners 06-08 who wants the 09-10 look.

im going to look into aftermarket tilt and shock sensors to add on to the factory alarm after seeing this. I hope insurance will take care of you.

My sister had them on her Accord, and it'll go off when I accidentally trip over her tire when Im slipping by her car in my garage.
Can we install Viper alarms on the IS's?????

I used to live in Rancho on Data Drive. I rented two garages in the back of the apartment complex and had some stuff stored in one of them with room for a car, my Supra was in the other by itself. Thieves broke into the garage with all the stuff in it and stole a LOT of things I couldn't fit in the apartment. We moved out two weeks later.

Insurance covered quite a bit, but it couldn't possibly replace the wife's wedding dress. The garage incident happened on the day of our one year anniversary.

I feel your pain. Move if you can. Rancho sucks rocks. Gold River is WAY better and not far to move.

Damn, id buy a gun or move. You should get those sensor lights on the outside of your house that go on whenever theres movement around. Ya know they may be back to see if you got new wheels.

Damn bro, I've never seen anything like this and almost thought it was a joke. Good luck with new wheels

One reason I'm thankful for garage and recently got carry permit and gun. It's not just thieves anymore stealing, you now have the people who have lost jobs just wanting to put food on the table.

People are NUTS anymore.
