Got milk?!
 

I just put my new license and registration on the vehicle last night walk out to my vehicle this morning and discover that the bastards stole my sport wheels and left my car on milk crates this morning!!!:mad:

Before:


After:








I usually park in a camera security patrolled area but that night i was dead tired and took what i can find not realizing that area was to isolated i got caught slipping and the milk bandits got me! I took a police report and come to find out this crew has been stealing radios and rims in my neighborhood and in the Ny metropolitan area for the past 3 months so New Yorkers beware, and they still have not caught the guys! I thank god i didnt catch them doing it because i know i would be going to jail for homicide! If you are on this forum thank you for stealing them between 0300 and 0400 at 0500 it would have been a massacre! :mad::mad::mad:

Sorry to hear that! What makes you think they would be on this forum?

Also, I don't understand one thing. You created a thread (http://www.the370z.com/new-370z-owne...k-6m-370z.html) at 12:45PM CST today talking about your new car. About two hours later, you create this thread saying that this happened last night? I'm confused!

this literally happened the day after u got it?!

Wow very sorry to see what happened :(

It's been awhile since someone on here has reported their sport wheels getting stolen.

I know they were very popular with thief's a few years back But still a shame they have to do that.

Keep an eye out in the Classifieds to see if they have the nerve to put them on sale.

Hopefully the ins. will take care of the damages and put you back on the road quickly.

I can only suggest gorilla locks or something similar to at least slow them down if they decide to strike again.

Don't tell me NYC, if so you can't even own a POS and not have something happen to it in NYC, let alone a nice Z.

Sooooooo sorry to hear that! My sincere sympathies! I know hearing things like this breaks the hearts of all of us who love our Zs. Just the thought of someone tampering with our car, let alone stealing something off it drives us crazy. Hopefully they didn't damage anything else on the car. But boy, does that suck! Here you are, you work hard for something nice, finally get it, and some complete low life vandalizes it. There are no words for people like that. I hope things work out for you with your insurance co. Life, God, fate...whatever you believe in has a way of taking care of people like that. Best of luck in the future. You'll be back on the road soon! :tup:

Yeah there is something funny there.

But if this is indeed what happens I wish you the best of luck.

The day i got my plates and registration i got the vehicle on 2/25/13..What are the odds?!

which ones fit the Z and what makes them better than the stock wheel locks.

What part of NY? I can try to keep a look out for weird cars with sport rims and I can also check the local craigslist for you too.

Sucks to hear...no wheel locks? I know they aren't fool proof, but at least a small deterrent.

Man, that sucks. Seems like a lot of people are getting their Z rims stolen.
I saw a thread the other day of a guy get his nismo wheels taken :ugh:

I have been on this forum for a long time this is the first day i decided to start posting (especially since i cant drive my car LOL!) Got the car 2/25/13 put plates and registration and yankee paraphernalia on the vehicle 3/19/13 walked out to my vehicle 3/20/13 0515 car on milk crates!!! day flocked! police report filed,claim filed, 3/20/13 1345 to all day today will be on this forum and checking ebay and craigslist all day and all night to ease my pain. hope that clears every thing up, i know it looks weird but i shite u not they got me right after i put my plates on! LOL!:mad::tiphat:

I knew a lot of ppl that would take trips to NYC in their cars or rentals and about 50% of them would have some type of theft or damage to the cars in NYC, almost the same in any major city , leave anything nice or of value and slowly the thieves arive to strip it bare.

You really need to keep it indoors or get rid of it, a lot more trouble is bound to happen if you leave it parked on the street at night.

For the city you really need a cheap beater like Patrick Swayze had in Road House and keep the nice ride stored far away from the damage and thieves.

day i put plates, reg and yankee paraphernalia on the vehicle and i just shined the rims that night so they are good to go just put them in the box dude!:bowrofl:

Here's a thread on them and what fits.

If I remember correctly? Basically the outer casing spins so a crook would have to spend the time to break the casing before getting to the lug thus making it more troublesome, And crooks like things easy.

It looks like the towing company may have really screwed up the bottom of your car by dragging it up with no wheels on it. Make sure you have the dealer thouroughly inspect the bottom of the car for damage , floor, frame , brakes , suspension and have it added to the theft and damage claim.

:iagree:

I hate ******* thieves!!! Im right there with you. If i ever caught someone doing this i hope god has mercy on them because i sure as hell wont have any as i make them hurt.

Thanks man! that's why i love this forum you guys always have a nice suggestion(gorilla locks) most forums would be like lol and give childish remarks.
I have geico they are doing good so far. I don't have roadside assit so i might have to pay for that tow but im trying to fight that. also what is a good aftermarket front bumper excluding the nismo...Thanks in advance!:tiphat:

Take a look and see what you'd like.

Note I read thru the entire link posting and it seems that there is a lot of disagreement if the gorrilla lock fit the rays properly and may damage the wheel.

I had to go to extremes trying to avoid people hitting my car on the highway and parking lots. People around here act real funny around this vehicle i never had to go through this driving a vehicle costing twice as much. its something about this vehicle that drives people who don't drive it crazy and jealous and people who do drive it change also. when i got the car i could not stop driving the dam car its all i wanted to do not even eat..LOL! I know when i get my car back i got to make some changes realizing how people act around it in NYC.:tiphat:

I read it again and do confirm your observation.

What I know for a fact is that you're going to need the correct washer thickness to ensure the lock doesn't bottom end

God bless you brother my favorite post so far! I am a peaceful man but when somebody messes with the people i love or my personal property i earn Legally! i become the incredible hulk! like you said i worked hard for that vehicle and it defiantly was a long time coming(3yrs!) but hopefully geico will take car of me because i cant afford much right now. Thanks again!:tiphat:

What wheel locks if any do you have on yours??? and they got me in the Bronx.
the cop said its been going on for a while now. When the weather heats up in Nyc the rats come out their holes..U already know that I'm sure!:tiphat:

To bad i cant afford garage parking right now. Its funny because the only thing i was worried about with this vehicle was tire related , Snow (it snowed here 2 days ago and i found out that day that summer tires and winter snow don't mix i had zero traction! ), i could care less about road noise i invite it!, and the eye catching sport rims. Every walk out to my car my heart skips two beats hoping my rims are still on my vehicle every time!!!:tiphat:

LOL! "Roadhouse!" family guy. Its a dam shame but you might be right i'm a middle class hard working American that lives near low class unemployed thieving scum bags! when i get my car back im going to have to upgrade my security or think about going roadhouse LOL!:tup:

Thanks Man!!!:tiphat:

And now that I know that you're a Yankee fan.....now those a-holes are messing with me! :tup: Actually, Yankees and NY Giants here for more years than I care to admit! Hey.... it could be worse! You could be a Mets fan! That would be like a double kick in the nuts! Best of luck!
:tiphat:

Yea i was watching them like a hawk! the car is new so the dealer will be going over every thing. hearing that scraping sound as he was towing was worst then having wisdom tooth pulled with out meds.:shakes head:

I would have just left the car their and found 3 more donuts to put on her instead of letting it drag on the ground. Also looks like your front driver side bumper is coming off?

I got a viper alarm system w/ a tilt sensor for this very reason. When you arm the car it calibrates itself to set the alarm off if it detects any change in the level/tilt of the vehicle.

At least down south (where you and i have cousin who lives in NC) you can apply and receive a gun permit here in NYC you go any where near a gun you get 4 years in jail! I was thinking about getting a tilt sensor alarm 2 days before this happened but something told me not to because i know if that thing goes off i go off and that equals jail time for me which is sad when your just trying to protect something that costs $31,864.14. Got to formulate a plan to protect my property with out having to ruin someone.:shakes head:

The problem with wheel locks is this Sunex 2840 Sunex Sockets

Most wheel thieves carry one with them, your locks will only slow them down a few minutes, I have seen one guy on you tube that put a tow chain and lock thru all 4 mag wheels every night.

I hate to say it but living where you do , your really better getting something that they will leave alone and something you really don't have to worry about getting stolen or damaged while being parked or simply driving in NYC traffic.

On a trip to NYC in my beat up old nissan frontier pickup , I can remember being hit or pushed to the side by a lot taxi cabs in the city, at least 5 times in 3 days, so I can't imagine driving something nice and brand new in that city, in a short tme any decent car will turn to a POS there. Just look at whats parked on the street, slowly your car will turn into one of these.

Your really better off with something like a stripped down automatic versa or a used sentra etc, for NYC.

The other factor is that this will definitly effect your insurance, watch them drop you during the 6 month period, unless you move the car or get something else, right now you are a hi risk for them.

F it! ill stick to stock for now, to rich for my blood! Thanks tho!:tiphat:

LOL! Yankees-Giants-Knicks Its going down April 1,2012 1pm Bronx,NY hopefully i can drive to the game..LOL!!!:tiphat:

Arrrg, heartbreaking stuff man. So sorry to see that happen but its nice to see you're in good spirits.

Like many of you, it wouldn't be a pretty sight if I was able to catch 1 or 2 guys in the act. I know many feel its just metal etc etc but its the principle, the violation and the fact that I work hard for my stuff.

Sounds like your insurance will be taking care of you properly

Yea man that's what i was thinking but my money is short and the car is new so i don't think i should have any problems with them fixing it brand new. Yea i need a whole new bumper any way because the milk bandits didn't balance the car properly so the whole left side bumper and wheel well is bent.:shakes head:

I just had a genius idea. But it will never happen. But it's still cool to think about. So someone develops a super sticky adhesive that goes on car wheels and you can turn the adhesive on or off with your car alarm. So when it's on, if someone sticks their hands on your rims, they are stuck! If the rip their hands off then their skin stays on the rim and you have their DNA! Let's get some funding for this and make it happen!:tup:

What do you do when it goes off??? is what I'm worried about! that's the one i was looking at also. I cant go to prison for a couple of low lifes!!! You call the cops at the time it goes off 15-20minute response time if your lucky! Either way its a efedup situation. I might have to pay for parking in my neighborhood..Cant pay for garage parking every where you go tho, it only takes 5 min for a crew to take your wheels. I seen a cop car on bricks before. Its a dam shame we work they steel and their good at it!:shakes head:
