$10,000 reward

My trailer was broken into last night between midnight at 4:30am at Weistec.

Be on the look out for two rear black HRE Racing wheels.

$10,00 cash for information leading to an arrest.

Sorry to hear man.

I remember when Jim went through the same exact thing except his were Dymags. Hope they catch the crooks.

Also monitor CL or ebay.

Definitely will keep a look out! Damn thieves!

Do you have the exact sizes and style we should be looking for? Maybe a pic?

my wife bananas! :D
wow... i hope you catch these *****s asap... As a side, these wheels being so expensive will draw a niche crowd, so it'll bit more difficult for the thieves to liquidate. unless of course, they just take the quickest buck.

Good luck!

Will be on the lookout locally. Weistec is about 10 min away from me, so I will watch local CL, and other forums.

Pics and models numbers will help us to catch these *******s.

Better yet, do you have serial numbers?

Was that trailer and its contents insured?

Really tough luck Earl that is a real **** party. I had my old wheels for my ML63 AND my CLK Black Series stolen out of my old garage. I would love to go to town with a blow torch on these farkers who believe they are entitled to other peoples' property. Those motherfockers, it's not likethe heels can bemused in just any old merc, they probably couldn't even offload them

Good luck with their recovery and apprehension.

Although I don't always feel this way, if you really do find these items being peddled online, bring the police into it. You can drive through Costa Mesa and surrounding areas and think they are perfectly fine OC communities but at the street level they are controlled by some of the worst gangs out there. Be careful...

Jrcart gets jacked up at Weistec and now you leave your trailer there and the same thing happens?

Is no one paying attention... ****ty situation having stuff jacked but maybe not the smartest to leave high dollar stuff sitting in a trailer where there has already been break ins.

Obviously someone is watching the place. There is Benz's sitting outside, coming and going constantly. Easy $$ for a jacker.

You guys really think someone is gonna put this stuff on Craigs list, lol come on.

Terrible. Just terrible.

(Posted on the other thread in the CLK63 BS subforum.)

And yup, this story reminded me of jrcart's story from last year.

@Weistec, time to beef up security / monitoring? Granted, no matter what's done, if a criminal's going to strike, they're going to strike, and all we can do is slow them down / deter them.

Very sad. Best of luck with the recovery!

I'd say it's about getting the punks, as opposed to simply just recovering the wheels.

Granted, regardless of the $ amount, he did say for information leading to the arrest. Hence, my conclusion. Let's get these guys off the streets!

Ditto. Ignore my subj line message, he corrected the amout in the post and in the second thread. It is 1k. The important thing is hopefully get these buggers off the streets.
