Damn, sorry to hear about your wheels...and to happen to such a new car too. Seeing stories like this frustrate me b/c I can certainly relate to what you're going through.

get this .... My boy who lives in suffolk just got his TWO FRONT WHEELS stolen three days ago..

these fn scumbags have some pair... I pray to catch those f cks in front of my house.. They better have there air bubbles pumped up in there shoes when I come outside...

the cops need to be made aware that this is pretty much a " serial " group of scum bags stealing wheels here on Long Island...

this makes me so insanely angry... the " rim reaper " dudes were all locked a few months ago, I bet they are out and back at it...

so lame

dude ur two rears made a set for them because they got my poor friends front wheels... fn ridiculous!!!!

hopefully the detectives are back on them asap and arrest these scumbag wastes of lifes.

Like someone else said it's easier to write speeding tickets. I had a Mustang GT get stolen in front of my house (Suffolk County back in the 1990's) and the cops found the car the next week stripped on the side of the highway. They never lifted a finger to find out who did it. They didn't even pretend to try. It's so easy to catch these guys too, just leave some hot car out under surveillance in a high crime area and follow them after the crime back to the body shop (that's who is behind 99% of car theft on LI) and arrest everyone involved. But it takes a tiny little bit of effort and it's just easier to eat donuts, point the radar gun and harrass people on their way to or from their job.

I have been parking 4 inches away from my girls car in my driveway... One backed in , one regular, this way both our passenger sides are within inches of each other so that rules out stealing the wheels , unless they get in my car and move it back.

Its insane that I even have to do that to feel semi safe about atleast 2 of my wheels being there in the morning.

I have pics of my buddies car and it looks exactly like yours, except they took the lug nuts... they even unscrewed his bulbs on his house by his car to stop the light.

It is such a cowardly thing to do... But even when you come out if they are at your house, know they have wrenches and prob bars from the jacks, so they could become armed robbers if confront them.

Crazy crime for a measly 1,000. I hope these scum bags are caught ( again? ) ASAP

hey does anyone know if our wheels are uniquely idenifiable in any way? i am trying to work with the police b/c i found the craigslist ad

I thought this thread was a bump for the guy with the white Z. I open up the thread I see a black Z on bricks just like the white Z. I scroll back up to see if you lived in NY like the other guy and you do. That really sucks man

Gee

I know that feeling when you first saw it - a mixture of disbelief and furious p1ssed offedness. (years ago I had parked my pride and joy mazda under a bridge while I was at work and they smashed the window to get the radio...)

ppl who do that stuff usually have sh1tty lives and are losers. You are a winner.

i'm trying SO hard to work with the police. NOT to get my wheels back but to BUST these people so they don't steal from anyone else. i googled this guys number that he gave me to contact him once i saw his craigslist posting
370z wheels

i googled his number and i found all these listings for these wheels:

Asanti 24 inch rims
g37s rims
volk rims w/drag radials and falkens up front
chrysler 300c srt8 wheels
Audi A8 wheels (march 12 listing)

I told the police that i had found a list of other wheels that were for sale and was hoping to cross reference it with a list of recent thefts, but the detective on MY case isn't there right now and they couldn't have cared less. i tried to explain i'm trying to help get criminals off the street, not try to get my own wheels back. i pay my deductible i'm done. i dont want it happening again to me or anyone else again!. i will call the detective back in the morning

Gee

Actually, thinking about what happened to you, I bet this is the scenario -

some other 370z owner , probably within no more than 10 miles or less, has banged up their own rear wheel(s) and has been cruising around looking for 'replacement' wheels on the cheap - hence why they only took two as thats all that they could fit into their car or needed. A crime of opportunity - as they didn't even have their own bricks to hold it up, a seasoned operator would'nt leave that to chance.

I bet its someone you may even have seen driving around in your area, maye to/from their place of work or ??

waddya reckon?

I think that they are trying to be a little more sneaky and not taking full sets to cover their trail. i am pming with another member who's wheels were stolen and his friends FRONT wheels were stolen like 2 days ago, now my rears=full set=craigslist for sale.
I see it like this.

Ive got his phone number tied to a whole bunch of wheel listings
i find out from the detectives whether they were all stolen within a recent time period in our area
i haven't touched the lugs that they left with my bare hands, i grabed them with a nearby microfiber buffer head and plopped them in.
If it turns out all those other wheels were stolen, and his prints match any partial on my lug nuts, we have our guy.
