Thieves

[dingleberries]

well this morning i woke up to heavy knocking on my door as i stumbled out of my sleep coma i walked outside my friends apartment complex to find that the wheels are missing on my car.... Stock wheels that were powder coated gunmetal black the bastards used rocks to prop the car up. I was in the greater reading pa area if any wheels come up for sale anywhere that you see that match this description please inform me although i know most likely they will never be found.... i literally have to go buy a set of rims today to drive it home hope i can find something nice

[leahysailor]

Sorry about that man, I hope it didn't dent the rocker panels. What a bunch of low life POS'S.

[toms2000]

That really sucks!
I hope they get what is coming to them.
Will your insurance help?

[Java Junky]

'Sorry'da hear DB.
'Doon some Sears Best, Heavy-Duty wishin' evil on the Mutha @*#&erz'n hopin'att somehow you gedd'em back.
But . . 'til'att happenz, hope you find somethin''da ge'cha by.
Keep the faith brutha.

Awh man...what scumbags. This scares me. I live in a nice, suburban-Philadelphia neighborhood, but this proves that horse shit like this can happen anywhere. I hope I can feel okay about having wheel locks on my car (are they easily defeated?) Also, I think I'm going to finally get some seat locks. Did you have wheel locks on the car?

[lonestarbuzz]

terrible.

[JOECHY]

Man! Been there! That sucks!! Your insurance should help if you have full coverage. Get that check and go out and put some nasty after markets on them. Stay again at your friends house, sit and quietly wait......

yes, they will.

[s2000isu]

That sucks. Youre going to leave your car on rocks until monday? wow

[Jim21680]

At least put it on some 2x4s or something...get the rocks out from the rocker panels. Stewie deserves better until she's healthy again

Again, did you have wheel locks on it before? Just wondering if there's a way to get around them these days (drills, etc?)

[s2kx2]

Sorry to hear about this dingleberries. If I may offer a suggestion when you get your new rims do the following when you can afford to. The sooner the better.

1. Good quality SILENT PAGE ALARM system (the mercury switch would have set it off do to the car being jostled about)

2. Wheel locks (you did not mention that you had them for your stock rims)

3. Arm yourself with more than a bat (see number 1)

4. Contact Kodakon 4 at S2ki for some seat locks (just in case they do come back for them)

As for the thieves this is my standard response:

i cant find wheels anywhere i have called everyone i think ima get ap2 wheels called salvage yards and everything

[dingleberries]

true ima wood block it

[Jim21680]

That's what I'm afraid of....if I ever woke up in the middle of the night and found someone taking the wheels or seats out of my car, I am seriously afraid I would shoot them, and spend a good part of my life behind bars. Hopefully I'll only put one or two in their knees or something, and get off with aggravated assault...

move to texas

always shoot to kill, do you want that low life piece of shit alive to sue you and tell "his side" of the story?

[Jim21680]

Damn...you can get AP2s (1s, 2s, or 3s) for a lot less than $450 a wheel. Ouch!

Should be around $275-300 per wheel. Just google "OEM Honda wheels"

[Marrk]

That's a shame about the theft of your rims, man. Really sorry to hear it.


Don't leave your car on rocks. Set it up on proper jack stands. Otherwise, more damage may occur.

tire expert praising the SPT

[Jim21680]

As for tires...go with the Star Spec Z1s....they're awesome, and quite a bit cheaper than anything else comparable. Plus, you get the mail-in rebate too. The Rack's got em!

[Jim21680]

Some people are just heartless....is it that hard to carry around a few 2x4s and not f**k up the rest of the car????

If I ever see someone doing this, even if its to someone else's car, I hope they can run at 30mph, because that's exactly how fast the car at the end of the rope tied around their neck is going to be traveling.

[S2KCRick]

wow, the last z still has the rims, just no tires.

[s2000COP]

Aint Texas great?

§ 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or
tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the
other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the
deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of
arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the
nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing
immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated
robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the
property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or
recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to
protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or
another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

[dingleberries]

so after a long day i found out that my insurance company could not get an adjuster out and that i would have to leave the car and wait til monday for their investigation and assessment. i am shortly going to lowes to pic up a motion sensor that will be sitting inside the car with a wireless alert inside so that my seats and interior do not end up victimized and i can deliver a mean ass whooping to whoever if stupid enough comes back over the weekend i decided to stay with my stewie all weekend and protect her its my duty
