Dang, that really suck *****.
P.S u might want to edit the pics with the license plate blurred by respect to the owner.. He might not want the whole world to know his wheels got jacked. Just my opinion.

I actually left my E55 on jack stands while I had the wheels refinished when I left on my vacation. I had like 5 voicemails from my neighbors telling me my wheels were stolen.

Johnny might be right on this one. Lol
I can't see on my iPhone if the car is sitting on jack stand?

Yeah, I'm off the school that says NEVER not photoshop out actual plate numbers.

Since they are visible and public for all to see in the real world, I never saw a point in photoshopping out license plates. But for those who are overly paranoid on here, I'll edit it to so you feel better

You're kidding, right? All I need to take off wheels with locks is a lug wrench. Who even uses wheel locks any more? Simply torque down the four other lugs working in a clockwise patern starting with the lug to the right of the lock, repeat another pass of torquing them and the one with the lock magically loosens itself....yes, it is really that easy.

Damn sucks so bad, I hate thieves!
Back in the day. My car was jacked out of my work parking lot. Felt pretty horrible especially since I seen the douche drive away with it from my office.
Had some awesome cd's in the car too
Either way it looks like it's on a jack to me. From the pics I can't see any amg logo on the calipers either. So either a hack job on painting of the calipers or this ain't an AMG

That may be true regarding wheel locks, but as someone who does computer security (both defensive and offensive) for a living I will say that no security measure is able to stop someone with enough time and determination. But it will raise the bar and deter those who are looking for something quick and easy. So while they might not make your wheels theft proof, they certainly still have value.

That sucks even more that it happened here in the Bay Area.
Could be possible that they have a few spare lug nut keys, I know for companies like Muteki & Gorilla they use the same pattern for there keys & you can buy them separately online, they're also fairly common. But even then, when my NSX was getting its coilovers installed at a shop & the previous owner didn't give me a wheel lock key, the shop simply used some sort of wrench & cut my lugs off one by one, took only a few seconds for each one.
