Apparently someone thought that my Hyper Black 18" Rota Tarmac 3's would look better on their car, or maybe pad their pocket with some ill-gotten cash....

The insurance company was very understanding since I had the receipts, filed a police report, etc. Luckily I hadn't sold the stockers yet, so I got some cheap tires mounted and balanced to get her off the ground.

WTF!?! I am pissed off, so I can only imagine how you feel. Sorry to see/hear this. Is the rest of your car ok?

Luckily they didn't wreck anything, except some gouges in the jacking points (grrr) They didn't break into the car, they just stole the wheels. It's pretty ridiculous that it happened, I don't live in a bad part of town either. I'm getting a check from the insurance company for the wheels/tires and a new set of TPMS sensors. So all is well. It's still a pretty big kick in the nuts though to come out to your car sitting on firewood at 5am.
 
OMG - No locking lugs? That s*** sucks man, sorry to hear/see this. Makes me want to puke to be honest.

There were 20 keyed WheelTek lugs on there... The key was in my apartment, and I still have it... Besides, locking lugs don't stop pros, only amateurs.
 
lol. who steals rotas.

its definitely unfortunate however. but at least its a no fuss situation through insurance.
 
Firewood? s****....

That's a tough one to take ymic. Good luck with your next set of wheels and with insurance.

pretty sure they brought the firewood with them... as well as the jack(s) and whatever they used to pop the lugs.
 
soooo ****** up. this makes me really angry. sorry to hear this man. and im with you, locking lugs don't do s***. if someones going to go this far, those aren't going to stop them.
