This can happen:




These are the people stealing them:

Sorry *******s, I recently I had 2 amps, a sub, dsp, and my component crossovers stolen out of my trunk and it happened in the front of my house. They even took my sun glasses.

I saw this pic in another forum as well.

Are you sure they were stolen? Perhaps he is waiting for his set of Forgestar wheels . HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, had to.

WTF??? That looks like a nice neighborhood too. The world has some bad people in it and they will get what is coming to them in the end.

BenzoBoi

Sorry to the owner of the vehicle. Karma is a b!tch...

Sathinas

At least the thieves were considerate enough to put wood blocks under the rotors so as to not damage them?...

Either that, or they REALLY wanted to keep the jack(s) they used as well.

Happened to a Honda Fit in the same neighborhood I live in. They even went to the trouble to plastic wrap all the street lights

WTF is the world coming to?

Well you know they say guys:
"When the Karma Bus comes cruising down the street, it is better to be on it than under it!!"

DAGREEKNYC

At least they couldve left the car on milk crates !!

old school move , jack car up , put milk crates underneath unbolt wheels and shake car and all 4 would drop at the same time .

Look like an inside job.

That sucks. How long was the car in the street before the rims were stolen?

Gondon

Is that your car?

DuckyAMG

So you are saying that VW owners steal the wheels, steal tires in the right size, steal hubrings and longer lugs for them to mount properly on the GTI? Interesting

Also, the wheels you posted on the GTI are replicas.

I wonder if there is a Jetta somewhere on the side of the road missing it's front grills because that GTI owner in the picture you posted must have stole them.

pimpjuice

doesn't the alarm go off if you jack up and part of the car? <Mine does....i found that out when I was changing the tires...was a big suprise in my garage....a very loud surprise!

CarboyS

Well it should since if I'm not mistaken all Mercedes come with a towing alarm and when tilt is detected when parked it should go off.

VCA_AMG

I was thinking this as well, LOL. That sucks.

W Cole

Hmm.. I bet this is an unintended consequence Mercedes didn't consider.

Dear VW,

Could you please change the bolt pattern on your wheels so the owners of your vehicles would stop stealing our rims?

Respecfully yours,

Mercedes Owners

But really, I doubt the VW guys are the ones stealing the rims. I don't think they could bring themselves to shaft another "car guy" but who knows.

I bet they put the wood under the rotors so the thieves could get their jacks out? Or maybe the VW guys did do it and couldn't bring themselves to scratch the BBK?

VCA_AMG

VW guys are "car guys"?

The little **** ants that are stealing wheels are NEVER 'car guys,' they're schlubs.

A crew , here on L.I., was stealing them by putting cinder blocks under all 4 jack points.
Then 4 guys, all at once, would cut the valve stems. Car would then lower equally on to the blocks, allowing easy removal of the wheels.
And, the alarm isn't triggered.

Thankfully, they were finally caught.

Unfortunately this is part or the "wealth re-distribution" going on in America. The haves vs. the have nots.

That Black Panther Weasel with the Baton outside the voting site!

This happened last week to an M3 that was parked on our street, and an MB was vandalized. The thieves did the same wood block thing. It's not exactly a bad neighborhood either.
