Those bloody rim thieves are cursed. The infamous spoon killer will find them.

Amen.

Is there a way to bold em down so they can't get jacked like that?

that sucks

I am in Arlington, VA and my rims are stock 40th Anniversary rims. Just check craiglist and nothing is found. I will definitely ask the apartment management to pay for my loss.

Since the thief only put 1 stack cinder blocks on each side of the car right under the door so the front passenger side brake disc was on the ground as well, will there be any frame damage to my car?

Sorry to hear. Your frame will be fine. Your brakes or hub will probably be but I'd still have the rotor put on a lathe to make sure.

Probably no damage other than scratches. The frame is hard as a rock and, unless they slammed the rotor into the concrete, it should be OK. Both are easy enough to check if you have the equipment - most of the larger body shops will have a machine that can check for any frame warpage and every tire and alignment shop I've seen can check the rotor (when in doubt, toss it out; rotors aren't that expensive compared to how important they are).

definitely go through your insurance company and let them investigate/charge the garage. make sure they pay for new rims and all the service it will come to a pretty penny

Don't know about damage. Not surprised the wheels were stolen though. The Rays wheels have been a popular target for thieves. I'm sorry you're going through this. It sucks.

Oh man,

Been there more than once. Why I moved from NOVA. The last time, I caught them in the process. After they were arrested, nothing happened to them. They will continue to watch and wait for you to get new ones. Figure out what you are going to do.

Here is a pic. I shake my head everytime I look at it.
