Who still steals car tires these days? My poor baby...

So I had stock 19" with Pirelli 240 Sotto Zero rubbers on them. Keep a look out RS!

Advice pls:

pay $300 deductible and get everything back, or take ICBC settlement of $3300 and buy new rims?

[Guy_LikeWhoa]

lol was expecting to see rims on the car with no tires.

[Volvoman]

No wheel locks?

pwn

[Ch28]

Damn...that school looks so familiar!

[bcedhk]

No wheel locks?

pwn

pretty sure they come with OEM wheel locks, which are easy to remove if they got the tool.

[Matlock]

That is sad :(
Sucks that you can't have nice things without crooks wanting to steal them from you.

Hammurabi's law: If any one steal the wheels and tires of another, he shall have his feet cut off.

[Guy_LikeWhoa]

obvously take the cash and buy new rims.....unless you like the stockers. stockers=$300, aftermarket= whatever you want, and you don't pay a thing if its less than $3300.

wait, are they giving you $3300 cash? if they are, then you can have left over money if you go aftermarket and its less than $3300

[Valour]

I'm thinking Vellano 22" VTP.

[El Bastardo]

In before all of the Mexican jokes

[k2_alpha]

41 is a pretty busy street.....

[PJ]

Yeah.. that's gutsy for them to do it in the middle of an open busy street. Even in the AM.

[Santofu]

[Euro7r]

Did you wake up this morning and saw your wheels got jacked?

[Fafine]

damn recessions hitting hard

[RevRav]

8 free red bricks...

Any body damage?

[orgasm_donor]

There was a TL on the Acura dealership's overflow lot right beside Volco tires on Lougheed sitting on bricks for about a month over the holidays. I just noticed today that it was gone.

Mad world.

[shenmecar]

did you shit bricks when you saw your car this morning?

:troll:

[StylinRed]

that sucks, id take the settlement $3300? wth that's a tonne of $$

damn thats sooo 10 yrs ago (who remembers metropolis underground parking where ud always see a car without its wheels)

[Slifer]

God damn skytrain...

[97ITR]

Why would they go through all that trouble on a high-traffic street to steal some stockers? Somethings not right....

[Valour]

The tires were 19" Pirelli SottoZero worth $1500...

Fuck, stock Audi alarm is worthless! hahaha I think I'll get a compustar two way... but if its on bricks, the car don't tilt...

[cococly]

^ Can Valour confirm with us that he had tire locks on the rims?

[Vansterdam]

yea looks like tecumseh

dam preety busy street to

[Valour]

NO I had scruffed up OEM rims with no wheel lock so sorry. Lesson learned but aren't they easy to crack?

[cococly]

^ If I have five different patterns of tire locks on each rim, would that help? LOL

[alex.w *//]

damn should of gotten special locking keys

[danizer]

^ If I have five different patterns of tire locks on each rim, would that help? LOL

lol did u even watch the video? that guy hammered a similar wheel lock so that its wedged onto the lug...if they didnt care about keeping the original lugs then it wouldnt matter if you have 5 a different lock on each lug :fullofwin:

[HondaGuy]

Valour: Sorry to hear about your loss. Hurts to see that, feels violated.
Hope all goes well with icbc.

[Culture_Vulture]

Sucks for the OP,
this reminds me of the time many years ago when somebody stole 3 hubcaps from my dad's (then new) minivan. Now that I think about it it was pretty lulz

[you!]

holy shit big balls to do that on a busy street

[slammer111]

Damn, OEM wheels aren't cheap either. I'm surprised they're only "worth" $3300 to replace. Can you get more cash out of ICBC?

[FerrariEnzo]

was your car parked on 41st? i think i saw it when i drove by that morning...

[RevRav]

These were probably posted before your incident.

prolly saw this video

Anyone noticed how his gloves were clean and white at first.
By the time he took off the lock, his gloves were all black, and even the palm area had ripped. :fullofwin:

[drunkrussian]

wow didnt realize we're living in south central la lol

[corollagtSr5]

If you take cash for that 3300 claim, they only pay you 75% of it.

[Leopold Stotch]

holy shit i saw that the other day

[satek]

That blows!!

[Gridlock]

A guy in my building in New West had his cat converter jacked. Nice move.

[MindBomber]

Are rims being stolen a common problem in Vancouver, because whenever I see this guys posts on craigslist I wonder where he's getting all these OEM rims...

[BNR32_Coupe]

what kind of rims were they? I need to know so I can make the FS post.

so far, from what i can tell, they look like they were lady driven.

Not only are they from the same guy, but I could find another 100 ads created by him selling rims easily; I have no idea how someone could get there hands on this many used OEM rims and tires to sell. At first I though it might be a car disassembler, but if thats the case why would they be sold on craigslist out of someones garage.

Also notice, none of them have curbage because those could theoretically be traced with pictures.


A few more..

They all say Surrey / Srry / North Surrey / etc... does that not give you an idea already? :troll:

[suzuka84]

email them to meet up. If you're meeting in a central location and they pull up with only one wheel in the car, you know they're stolen.

[c32]

probably some tire/rim store owner.... why dont someone call him and ask?

[BrRsn]

his e46 m3 rims look mighty tasty :o
