Rally wheels have become more popular on other GM cars as well. Could now be on a Chevelle or ? Really sucks someone touched your ride. Time for a good alarm system. Maybe one with a proximity sensor.

How can you possibly even think of leaving a 72 outdoors overnight ?

Throw up a camera. A friend of mine had someone come into his yard and spray paint his rear lights, twice. don't ask me why. He through up a camera on the peak of his garage, adds security to the block, no more trouble.

I dont think any members on here would steal from another vette owner or steal at all for that matter. I think they are all respectable.

I guess you're lucky in a sense since they didn't key it up and steal the whole car. I'd look for a secure garage. A friend had his 72 Chevelle SS chained the the garage floor and locked tight.It was stolen overnight years ago.

Sorry. A few years ago I had center caps and trim rings taken off my
'69 Camero and '72 Monte Carlo the same night. Really sucks. Problem was, I think I know who took them, but couldn't prove it. My vette stays in the garage when I'm not in it.
