STOLEN!!

Hey guys I really need your help. My track rims/tires were stolen off my front porch in San Luis Obispo, CA on September 21, early morning. I left them out Sunday night so FedEx could pick them up by noon on Monday but they were gone.

The size's are 18x9.5 +27 for the rims and the tires are 275/35/18 Toyo RA1's.

If you guys could post this thread on every forum you belong to so we can hopefully catch the person who took these from me, I would forever be in debt.

The only picture I have of them:

Im currently filing a police report and am watching craigslist and eBay. PLEASE help me catch the asshole who stole these!

that sucks

Will do!

Homeowners insurance going to cover it?

damm .... that hurts... good luck catching the bastards

Damn bro that sucks. Good luck hope you get them back. I'll keep my eyes out for them as well.

Yes and no; the deductable is 1% of the property insured which is $400,000. So a $4,000 deductable :rant:

I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. This is quite a blow for a college student just trying to have fun at the track :(

Again if you could post this thread on every forum you belong to so we can limit the people this guy can sell to.

Here's a better pic Ross. I'm sorry this happened and i hope they find the A**holes that stole them.

that's so gay.. i'll keep an eye out man. good luck

dude when were these stolen?? someone offered my buddy a set of "racing rims" out the back of a van and he took a look at em ... he was tellin me about it last night he has alot of these offers when hes working at his dads check cashing store maybe they were yours ima have to ask him to describe the rims

Thanks Easy; yeah you cant mistake the rims if you see them on the road. Also, this fitment wont fit most cars so if somebody has an account at my350z, zilvia.net, evolutionm, etc that would be a HUGE favor if you could post this in their FS sections

Thanks man but these were stolen in San Luis Obispo, CA

I hate thieves!

Good luck finding them.

I go on random forums a lot so I will keep an eye out.

damn that sucks, did you tell anyone you were leaving them out there? maybe it was an inside job thing. outside for overnight and then gone is pretty fishy.

damn sucks bro! hopefully that fagot gets caught!

That sucks man but one of the girls that works for me has a BF who works at Fed Ex and he jacks shit everyone once in a while. I actually called a supervisor once on the down low once to let them know and the guy didn't seem very worried and reluctantly took the info.

Last Christmas I ordered a very expensive DVD box set for my sister that they said they delivered and was signed for, and when I demanded the signature to see which of my employees signed for it they couldn't find it. The next day it was delivered without explanation or a requested signature and the Fed Ex guy asked one of my employees at the front desk why I called his supervisor and when she told him she wasn't aware of what transpired and asked if he wanted to talk to me and he just said, "no" and walked out. I'm pretty sure the Fed Ex had set it aside for himself and was just seeing if anyone made issue of it. We get Fed Ex deliveries everyday and I have never seen that guy again.

That really sucks dude; keep an eye out on all of the local car club message boards (yeah I know that's a lot in Cali) and classified sites / ebay.

That said, leaving something like this outside, especially in the front of your house where anyone can take it is not the smartest thing to do. Fedex pics up wherever you are so if you're not home, take them to work with you and tell them to come pick them up there, or tell them to come at another time when you are home. No reason to leave shit this expensive outside where anyone can take it.

man...im sorry that happened!!

I'll keep an eye out on evom + zilvia + my350

Most of those forums will delete your posts. IMO it'd be better to watch to see if anyone posts up, otherwise the theif will just drop them locally or via PM. I'll keep a lookout

edit: Damn those would have looked good too!

YES fed ex people steal all the time..

I ordered my Coilovers Variant V3 and when i went to go pick them up they gave me a box and i didnt know what the package was like soo i accepted it and once i took it to the car i was like man this is tooo light..

i remoxed the outer box revealing a George foreman GRILL!!! soo i went back in and i told them this wasnt what i had ordered and the lady was like ohh that is between you and the seller... tha tis your item that was shipped.
She pointed to the box where someone wrote with a marker my address and name.
Then i showed them my door tag and i told them the number on the box did not match my door tag number... she braught her manager and they went int he back for like 15 minutes and then finally braught me a big box wih my coilovers in it..... Luckily for me i didnt have them deliver it to my house i scheduled for a in person pick up..

Like my new wheels :D I kid. That blows. Hope they get shot

craigslist and ebay! look out there!

Thanks man but these were stolen in San Luis Obispo, CA

your location says Houston, just to be fair

Man that sucks, it could of been someone who knew you were gonna leave them wheels out on the front porch, like the fedex guy.

And its not just fedex guys who steal UPS guys are just as bad. Especially with this economy.

your location says Houston, just to be fair

Not to sound like a jackass but I said the location in the first sentence of the OP.

Thanks guys for getting my back; This is just the worst thing to happen at this time :tear:

mann ross this still makes me sad

That blows man. shit.

BOBOBOBO.... prolly some kid who steals your chromies. Thought he hit the jack pot.. Find him and hit him bluntly with force... in the head.... heh

Damn this blow balls. From what I read yesterday I don't think anyone asked but I could be wrong. How many ppl knew the rims were gonna be out? About what time did you put the outside? Were the out in the open or have a sheet or something over them? And finally do u have any sketchy neighbors? Oh yeah just thought of this too do u get the paper delivered everyday?

Darn, its time like this I wish we all had cameras recording whats going on outside.
Sorry, dude. Keep ur eyes on Craigslist, Ebay and any other place they might try to unload them.

Just yesterday a mom and son were caught trying to sell 10 cows they had stolen. The owner knew there was a sale going on in a town close by so he goes. Yes he recognizes his cows and BOOM they are caught.

So keep your eyes out for them.
Good Luck

hey guys! just wanted to say that i got this GREAT DEAL on some enkei nt03s with toyo ra1s yesterday. my car looks so awesome now.

i bought them from some dude in an alley. i couldnt believe my luck.

i just thought this thread was an AMAZING coincidence.

^^^

I don't know if that was a joke or not. But given the circumstances, it sure as hell ain't funny dude.

tsk tsk tsk

I've been scouting criagslist trying to see if anyones posting these. I haven't found anything yet. I'll keep looking though!!

^ They werent on the car :(

ttt

Bump for goodluck... Sorry man.. :(

dude this sucks! best of luck - keep looking ... they'll pop up

Ross,

What street did you live on in SLO? Also, I posted on Facebook to all my SLO friends and asked if anyone knows of someone selling some rims. Hopefully I'll get a reply for you. I only ask for your street to see if I know anyone around there that's shady..

It was the Pine Creek Condos at the corner of Foothill and California... thanks for getting my back bro :)

suck when this happen . hope u get them back

I'm not sure why anyone would leave their wheels/tires out overnight for FedEx to pickup when you can take them to any FedEx-Kinkos, drop them at the counter, and get a receipt :dunno:

Thanks,

I was in Houston,TX while the wheels were in San Luis Obispo, CA

Ross,
I've posted on zilvia.net to make everybody aware, i'll let you know if i hear anything and see what we can do. good luck hope this works out soon

Thank you so much dude! Im still keeping my hopes up even though I know I shouldnt be :(
