I couldn't imagine waking up to that. Don't worry, that ol' wheel's gonna roll around again and they'll get what's coming to them.

Crap! Sorry for your loss. I'm relocating to your area and was actually considering Annapolis. Please pm me the name of your cmplex; if it's one on my list I may have to reconsider.

Man I am sooooo sorry for you. My heart would have stopped working for sure.

I hope you back on the road soon, and that somehow you get the idiots that did this to you. At least they did not come up to your car with a rollback !

Wonder what there plan B was in the case they didn't get the key with the alarm going off
and 4 lugs away from getting away with it.

Good luck
Next time put it in the little compartment made for it in the rear storage area.

Good luck with the replacement. Hope everything works out for you.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe everyone look out for anyone trying to sell these rims? I don't know what thieves do after they steal rims but wouldn't they try to sell them? Typically.. only corvette owners would want these, right?
