I'm sorry to see that happen. Makes me feel sick to my stomach to see your F like that.

At least they blocked up your vehicle ( although on the rotors, which you may want to have checked). A buddy of mine had his wheels stolen from one of the busiest truck stops around, and the video showed them stealing the rims in under 2 minutes and leaving the vehicle on the ground....

Dang, that really sucks. Although I have to agree, now you can get some really nice aftermarket rims. Just make sure you do something so your new set doesn't get stolen as well.

Sad but true... I remember when I lived in a big apartment complex in college. Management knew that I always worked on cars so when they came into work that morning, they called and asked if I was working on my car already. Told them I was getting ready for work, then they said "UH OH". Went out and found my car on oem jacks about to fall over (eventually did). It just sucks that you can't own anything nice anymore with out worrying about some one stealing or vandalizing it.

Sorry to hear this happened to you.

I would consider not owning such a nice car until you purchase a home with a garage.

Just wondering is your insurance going to only pay for OEM wheels or will they give you the money that the OEM wheels cost. If so you can get a really nice set of rims with that. I mean 7k is what factory rims will run you plus tires another 1200. This might turn out good for you.

sorry to see that... at least it was just ur wheels and not the whole car... I think ur prob the second member that has gotten their rims stolen. Another member got theirs stolen in NY. I guess the safest place to keep our car is in the garage.
