Default Wheels STOLEN

Wow look at these fucktards, this isn’t my car but thought I’d post what damage these idiots caused just for some wheels. Poor grand sport...

Wait till they fence them to "BIG EDDY" and one is cracked and two are bent. Eddy will come back and kick the sh** out them -- they will get what they deserve !!

They are laying in pieces a half block back and that's where the car ended up.

Hate to see the car in that predicament. Hope the owner can get the car back up without too much further damage. Good opportunity to get a nice set of forged wheels.

I hate thieves. Some jerks did that to my 1984 Chevy conversion van on my driveway one night. Thank goodness it was being supported by 12 crumbling bricks.

I would guess they probably weren't stock wheels. Does anyone steal stock wheels?

Where is that guy that doesn't think wheel locks are any good because he wants to make it easy for thieves to take his wheels so they do not damage his car?

You know who you are.

Damn, I guess milk crates do have limitations.

I don't see Carbon Ceramic Rotors there, but regardless, that really sucks for the Vette owner. They caused much more damage than OEM wheels are worth. Speaking of which, I don't think the thugs will get much as they expect for those wheels if they are OEM.

I would not leave any vehicle I cared about on the curb or in a driveway even for one night. A garage is an absolute must in this day and age.

Agree, but what a shame. Why didn't they just take the whole car?

You know who you are.
How do you know whether the owner had wheel locks or not. In any case the wheels are gone thieves are thieves.
