Best way I could ever imagine to start my day

Quick story lol. I was walking out to my car when I noticed 2 police officers looking around the parking garage I park in. I think nothing of it and as I'm walking up to my car I start thinking it looks really low, did I get a flat? Did someone cut my tires? Nope haha, they jacked em. They also had to break my window to get the lug key which I decided I would keep for thief's in my glove box. I thought professional thief's could get past crappy stock locking lugs easily, wish they would have left the window alone. Anyway, figured I would share the carnage, the car is resting on the front passenger rotor so hopefully it's ok. I don't want to start pointing fingers but there is this del slow that parks near my car and is pretty "modded", I didn't see his car last night like usual when I parked or this morning. Probably not him but no one else in the parking garage drives a performance car, lots of Mercedes, BMW's and Infinity's though. Seems like those rims would have been worth more than my crappy stock BBS' that are plasti dipped.





I have never had a car broken into or anything stolen from me in my life, this is really a shock.

That sucks man. Now if you get new wheels with insurance money they will just do it again later, since you are in a parking garage. Different wheel locks on all 5 lugs not kept in the car :haha:


Seriously I had a friend that parked in a parking garage get his wheels stolen 4 different times even with wheel locks. He eventually moved and got him a house with a garage. He almost sold his RX7 because of this...

I've decided to pay extra for a garage now. I feel they will just keep doing it as well and I don't have time to sit and baby sit my car.

No cameras, the police checked with the complex already. I think I'm just going to drop the car off at my usual shop and tell him to fix it with the insurance money so I probably wont see a check.

Thanks but I'm guessing pretty much 0 chance of catching them. Worried my old ladies Cobalt SS is next, her rims aren't cheap either.

They actually checked for finger prints believe it or not lol. I thought the officer was joking but he was totally serious and said they didn't find any.

This sucks man, sorry to hear it. Hopefully it will work out for you and maybe better than before.

My money would be on the Del Sol as well, if not him, he knows who did it. Am I stereotyping? Probably.

Thanks man, hoping I can swing a deal with my shop to maybe get some better rims since the BBS's and stock tires are so crazy expensive.

Wow man, that sucks. You'll be driving it again in no time. Is that a private garage with only a certain number of cars in it with an automatic door, or is it open to the "public"?

Evo sitting on milk crates. This is also a very very busy street day and night. Things dumb asses will do for a freebee... Sorry to hear bro! Hope they get caught and they fingers chopped *shurgs*

The parking garage is open to all residents but the entrance to the complex has a gate. Basically anyone could have let their buddy in as a guest and there would have been no way to track them.

I started laughing as well, other people walking to their cars looked at me like I was crazy. I'm hoping there is a chance the shop can swing some EVO X MR BBS' with little out of pocket for me. If they can swing it I need to thank whoever did this.

Yeah full coverage, still feel violated. Anyone know how they go about towing an awd car that has no tires?
