Wheels stolen....
Unfortuantly last night at the dealership i work at .. a set of evo wheels were stolen right off the car and the car was put on bricks causing damage to the body also 
Be careful people with your cars guys... seems like there are alot of a$$holes out in the world who dont want to pay for things.

What dealership was it? Weird... what other cars will they swap onto?
Thwack...I have a friend who had a heavily modded Integra GSR. He replaced ALL his lugs with locking lugs. Thats right, he had to use 5 different keys (type R suspension) to change his wheels.
That car was stolen out of his driveway.....and it was recovered completely stripped a few months later.....but the wheels and the suspension were still there! huhu

When I purchased my GSR the dealer already had wheel lock on all of them because people where stealing the rims. I was very surprised when the Mitsu dealers didn't just put them on. People will steal whatever they can get their hands on.

At this dealership (Acura) we automatically put a set of wheel locks on every car as they're PDI'd. Not that Acura rims are even that popular to steal, just that we don't want anyone stealing them anyway. I too am shocked that Mitsubishi dealerships don't put locks on their Evos at PDI.

Pre-Delivery Inspection. This is when a tech takes a freshly-delivered vehicle and inspects it based on a checklist. This includes installing a couple fuses left out for shipping, removing things like suspension spacers, screwing on the radio antennas, and putting it up on a lift to inspect even the underbody for any travel/shipping damage.
On Acuras they also put in the radio/navigation codes to enable the radio/navi so if/when the car is test driven everything works.
