*STOLEN WHEELS* On The Lookout

[Prodigy]

They were stolen at 3am on July 4th.

If anybody spots gunmetal 5-spoke wheels w/ Toyo tires call my cell 678.637.4725

These wheels are 100% original in the state of GA, according to Kauffman Tire's records I am the only person who has special ordered these wheels.

They're KTP KT221's / 17x7 43+ offset / universal 4-lug design / KTP center-cap / stickers were removed
Toyo Proxes / ZR4 215/45/17 / brand new

A REWARD WILL BE GIVEN FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO THE RETURN OF THE WHEELS.

I had a friend report seeing a white honda civic coup with my wheels and tires on it today.
Was spotted at chamblee-tucker/shallowford.

EDIT: found the ****** (page 9)

Wow, that sucks, what did they leave your car on? the ground or cinderblocks?

Cinderblocks only in the middle of the car body.
My rotors are ****** up and the whole front end of the car is a mess.

(wow) Damn, I'd be out looking for blood! (rant) Any chance you could post more pics of the damage?

I can't believe this s***! Somebody is gonna get really messed up. I can't believe somebody would do that, Chris, I am sorry to hear that, and I will be looking out for them, but I am not really in your area, but I'll keep an eye out. They're four lugs so there can't be too many rolling around. How'd they get your lugs off? You filled a police report I hope. That will help you out in the long run, especially if you find the dude. Do you live close to a main road where anybody could see them or do you think somebody close by?

 

[laracroft]

Thats messed up. Those are some damn nice rims and tires too. First thing I'd do is make a police report obviously. Secondly, visit some local pawn shops. Third, put up flyers with a reward in your local tuner shops. Word travels fast and if someone's willing to make a buck off ratting someone else out, they will. Those rims will be easy to spot for those of us that know what to look for. Just put the word out in your area, something should come up. And I hope you find the f****.

Where is Tucker located? I've only been in Georgia since March.

I take it you didn't have wheel locks?

I assume that they had a Gorilla lug nut key.
Yes, the police report has been filed.
I live on one of the busiest streets here. I have a sign out front, someone had to see it.

Thanks for the info.

Northlake area

I had gorilla lug nuts, not good enough obviously.
I'm glad they didn't steal my stereo.

 

[Prodigy]

This is the first week that I've parked in the driveway in the 2 years I've had the car.
Thanks to the ******* garage sale taking up space in my garage!

 

[laracroft]

(wow) :'(


OMG... I WOULD'VE BEEN LIVID!!!! Thats pisses me off just seeing that. My mouth about dropped.

I'm thinking of getting a possie together and drive down there man. Who wants to go hunting for low life's?????

 

[ottawaP5]

well, at least it wasn't leaning on the rear because your exhaust would be finished.

It must be someone that lives very close to you because I doubt people just scan neigbourhoods looking for wheels. They probably checked what type of wheel nuts you had first, then bought the key for it, and then made their move.

 

[Gaboost]

that really sucks, I hope you kept your stockers to put on for now. The people may have known they are 4x100, any civic or integra can use them. Hopefully insurance will cover it if you can't find them. I guy that works with me had his headlights stolen off a 2003 maxima right in a parking lot. Theives know what to look for-that year maxima has hid headlights and can be easily fitted to older ones.

 

[Prodigy]

Laracroft, What's a reasonable price for the reward?
My insurance deducatable is $500, so I'd be happy go anywhere up to there.

I rather have my exhaust be f'ed over than to have the paint and rotors f'ed up.
It wouldnt have leaned to the rear anyways because of the weight from the engine.

Yeah... my next wheels will not be 4-lug universal.. and I'll have 4 different set of locks.. overkill? I think not.

Chris I made a thread on Import Atlanta for your rims, maybe something will turn up. here's the link http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?p=155371#post155371

I'd think that $100 is good enough. I'd put "$100 reward for information leading to the recovery of stolen goods and/or arrest of the individuals responsible. Can remain anonymous."

And like I said... people WILL talk. You just need to know where to start looking and put the word out at the local shops around town. Leave them flyers. I dont think someone is going to start putting those on their vehicle right away. They'll probably wait for things to die down a bit and then either put them on their own car or sell them off to someone else. In which case, if the other person that buys them knows that they are stolen, regardless if they did the actual crime or not, they're in receipt of stolen property. Still an arrestable offense. And at least if you get the person that BUYS them, you will also get the person that sold it to them. Drop charges on one for giving you the info and press charges on the one that did the crime. I'm pretty sure he had help. Someone will probably also brag eventually too.

I just had a neighbor stop by..
She saw a Honda Civic park in her driveway for roughly 25 minutes at exactly 3am.
The car had a spoiler and a sunroof. Two guys got out of the car.

 

[laracroft]

Gee and she didnt think to say ANYTHING at 3am???? She probably figured that they were "friends" of yours. Figured it would be a Honda Civic... 4 lugs of course. I say you take a drive around the block. They ought to be parked somewhere getting some sleep from last night. Oh and take a baseball bat or gun with you. lol
