Why they gotta be Mcdonalds employed, potsmokin, greasy haird people? More then likely Crack heads or coke heads . I have never known a pothead with enough energy to steal wheels..LOL
sorry to hear about your wheels man. i cant stand a dam theif..
I had my stereo system stolen out of my 84 chevy 1500 a few yrs back. I came home at about 1 A.M. and started drinkin a beer playin god of war, a friend came home about 2A.M. and said hey there is glass on the ground next to your truck which was literally 10ft max from my front door.... they broke out the vent window with a cologne bottle, took the speakers out of the box, unbolted the box from the truck, unbolted the lightning cap and sub amp that was under the seat.. Pulled out the radio without the face plate and cut every wire instead of unplugging them(ruined the radio) ripped out all of my Sony door speakers.. but they couldnt get the 2000watt mid/hi amp out of the dash through the glove box.. 2 days later my friends system was stolen by the same means, a cologne bottle.. But that cologne bottle gave it away, We knew whos it was.
I had thought hard about my install and bolted everything down(not screwed), hid my main amp and everything, even molded the door speaker bolts in. yet they managed to get it all out in about an Hour or less without setting off the Alarm. A few weeks later someone tried to steal my BMW wheels too, pretty sure it was the same person.. So if a thief has any kind of skill they are gonna get what they are after..
turned out Our other room mates GF at the time, she told her drug dealer about my system and her bf's system to get some free drugs.. ne ways, i seen him 3 months ago, i beat that fool till his eyes were swelled shut.. Stupid dam coke head. I may not have gotten my system back but he is blind in his left eye now.. He was aplogizing to me sayin man i can get you some money, i still have the amp in my car.. F-that..i think we should cutoff the hands of thieves..
If i ever catch someone else breaking into or stealing my ****. I wont be calling the cops, just an Ambulance if they are lucky...
My point is they knew you through someone or had cased your car for a while..
Hope u get them back or they get whats coming to them.. Karma is a bitch..
you did what all of us wish we could do to the person who messes with our chit.
I love my mustang, but its not worth risking my freedom. I dont trust our legal system enough. Its always great to go on the offense, but if your life isnt in danger....i have a family and kids to worry about if I do something stupid over a car.
Hate to break it to you guys....this isnt just "crack heads" stealing. Its people who dont work. People who are lazy. People who are familiar with the worth of the wheels. I knew plenty of young kids when i was a teen that just did **** "just because". They didnt do it for the cash. They just wanted to be "bad asses". Then you have people who are jealous of you. Point being, there are a TON of people who arent doing this kind of thing because of drugs. I've never done crack...but if you are high on it, i cant see you taking the wheels too efficiently. And if you are in need of a high....dont u have the shakes n stuff? LOL. Sorry im clueless when it comes to drugs.
A lot of ignorance in this thread
I decided to repost my earlier edited reply. I deleted the earlier one because at the time I was still possibly planning on meeting with this "John" guy because he has another set of stolen rims and I would like to set him up. I may still do that, so just in case, I'd appreciate it if no one call his number from his craigslist post so he doesn't get suspicious. Thanks.
Original Post: Sad news...First, let me say I appreciate everyone's support. I found my rims for sale on Craigslist in nearby Oakridge, they were listed on the 24th. Here is a link: COBRA RIMS
I contacted the guy and was supposed to meet with him, and had hopes of bringing an officer with me to seize the rims. I drove all the way from Nashville back to Oakridge early in the morning. Got to the police station. And they couldn't help. They said they were afraid of liability issues. Because my crime happened on Friday, and the Knox county records office is closed on the weekends, I could not get a paper copy of my police report. Oakridge police said they couldn't help without a paper copy, even though I had picture proof that the rims were mine. Because Knox county detectives don't work the weekends either, I couldn't get anyone from Knox county to even talk to me. This saddens me more than the loss of my rims. In my time of need, our protectors have let me down. They don't care. And I feel powerless to help myself. If those tasked with protecting and serving won't do it, who will?
