Default Asanti Wheels Stolen GS350

Damn thieves...wheels on my brothers GS350 just got jacked last night. left the car on bricks.



20" white Asantis with chrome lips. All wheels are drilled on the backside with TPMS. Yokohoma ES100 (275/30/20) in the rear and Falken 452 up front (235/30/30). most of the faces have chips and one rear wheel has gashes all over holes from drilling out a stripped lug. front wheels are slightly bent and one rear is leaking due to corroding lip.

They cut a hole in the door where the lock cylinder is and turned it to roll all the windows down to get inside to find the lock.

damn thieves took advantage of a useless feature to get in. There is no reason to have the windows roll up and down with the key if 99.99% of the time no one will ever use the key shank.

This happened in West Miramar in a gated/guarded community.

Yo sorry to hear that in Miramar where I live my neighbor had a 750il on 22" Asanti's and when I woke and came outside they had it on bricks too.... You gotta have a garage for what we are into ....

And they cut a hole into the part where the key would usually go and broke into the car without the alarm going just like your bro's gs.... Damn.

Damn Homey that's sucks... Having a garage helps, but if they can steal ur shyt in front of your home. Aint nothing stopping them from doing it at your job or the mall. Anyways what I suggest using multiple lug nuts and locks. Theives have to move quick so what ever slows them down helps.
