Sad picture of my RX-8

This is my first post and i will contribute with a sad picture.

Monday morning, it was raining and snowing. I was as usual late to kindergarten and to an important meeting at work. My kids ran ahead to my RX-8 and when they got there they shouted loud: "Dad there is something ehh...strange about your car!"

This is what i saw:

All 4 wheels were stolen.

I felt rather sad that day

I didn't think they had crime in Sweden. Can't be Sweden.

yeah -- I know given enough time anyone can steal anything but the wheel locks should have been a rather large deterrant.

I'm sorry for your loss -- if insurance deductible is too high or they wont cover it - there is a chance you could pick up 4 OEM rims here much cheaper the replacing at the dealership.

Best of luck to you and your 8

Sorry for your loss! Oh well, time for better upgrades to aftermarket rims if you ever get $ from your insurance or just invest on it.

I am sorry that happened. Hope that person gets what's coming to him. Do resting on the brakes damage anything?

dang, am really sorry this happened to you. hopefully, other damage is minimal and u can get insurance to get the wheels replaced right away... i hate to generalize, but it's usually teenagers doing this kinda stuff... they usually don't have money, and it's easier for them to steal then to get a job and work to save up to buy the things they want to have. ultimately, it's their parents' fault for not teaching them right from wrong, but that is an entire separate thread i think...
