Hey Gus- It was painful to look at those pics. Any options for the wheels you had for the wheel lock lug nut?
Obviously these crooks were out looking to steal, they had the concrete blocks and everything. Probably a professional type jack to do the job quickly like an F1 pitstop.
Trust me, crooks like these are stupid and right now they are trying to fence the wheels through whatever channels they can. Good chance you might spot them.
Hopefully you will get them back and you can post new pics with your wheels !!
Good Luck.

If this was in a private community, under state law they have to give you at least one written warning(ie.... sticker). You cannot tow a vehicle off the property bc you feel like it. I know this for a fact bc i served on my condo board and i had my hands full with ppl who always parked illegally. So I had to do a ton of research to safely tow people who were parked on the street or in guest parking and even other ppls driveways.
Get your money back from that rental community!

Wow bro, have about 10 drinks tonight and just forget this day ever happened!!
Check for damage underneath and call a lawyer. It's suing time! Has to be damaged somewhere for sure.

Will insurance pay you for aftermarket wheels or will they just cover the stockers?

man that sucks donkey ***** to have your car towed on top of that. def ruined he brakes/suspension. Not sure what the laws are for towing down there, But here in VA, no liability/responsible for any damages during a tow.
At this point, it would have been better if they torched your whole car. Car got violated/raped pretty bad!!! Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Well the car rode pretty well the suspension I doubt it suffer but the front brakes is what I'm worried, the rear was sitting on the base of the hub and tie rod leg base so I dont think there was much damage on the rear

suspension should be fine as well as the actual brakes but the disk will probably be scored and maybe even warped but could be fine if lucky... a good shop could repair them on a lathe , or your insurance should cover it if you have decent comprehensive coverage and no reason not to get new disk at that point.

welcome to florida. its getting worse everyday here but i will keep my views silent because they may be extreme.
that said it is frankly best that u DIDNT catch them in the act because the flipside doesnt look pretty. the adrenaline and rage built up in a victims veins is enough to make the situation escalate too quick to make better decisions. unfortunately you can ONLY lose in this situation because the court system in out country favors the criminals and "under-served". remember - your a "rich dude in a benz".

Ugh, this sort of thing is awful to see. Sorry for your ordeal.
Glad that the thieves don't know how much your AMG brakes are worth, or they'd probably have taken them too.

Yeah well I starting to think that it was more a hate job than an actual random incident.
But anyways as of today in the morning, the insurance cut me a check and the car is getting inspected at the dealer for any more damage.
