Sh*t happens. Those people who does it are making the victims life miserable because their life is miserable too. To be honest, they are losers and have no life at all.

Reminds me of when I came out of my apartment and saw a giant scratch across my hood. Not keyed, like machete'd, starting at one headlight and ending on the other.

ooooh I was soo pissed.

Damn thieves, hope they get what they deserve! Sorry for what happened to your car.

I apologize for even posting this, because it's not mine but what I found in an online forum months back.

How much were you quoted for a parking space? It's pricey in the city but it isn't impossible to find something affordable. Where do you live exactly?

wow...that really sucks

Sucks even more when (like the pictures above) the theives put the car on uneven blocks (you would think they would at least have the decency to put the car on SQUARE blocks)...not only are your wheels stolen but now there's a chance of other damages





btw; raises the question to those that have lock lugs...

which ones do you guys suggest using? I was looking to get some new lugs pretty soon...

Insurance towed it today. Sounds like they'll cover it. I had Ray's rims purchased from this site by the previous owner. Had also just bought brand new yoko summer tires. I have a receipt so I should get those paid for. I'm unsure about the rims though.

Well, you could always consider going back to stock until you find a permanent replacement.

Sorry to hear it, same thing happened to my Shinka a couple of years ago. Brand new rims/tires stolen despite two different types of wheel locks. I woke up to head to a car meet and the car was up on stacked rocks from my neighbors garden. They did thousands of dollars of body damage see-sawing the car to crank the wheels off. My best recommendation is to get the deductible lowered for comprehensive theft/acts of god etc. My wife's RX-8 just got keyed to **** last month and it only cost me $50 to get it resprayed. Kind of sad considering that I live in a really nice neighborhood, but all the section 8 housing is across a field from my house.
