Got milk?!

Leadfoot · 03-20-2013, 03:03 PM

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!!!

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!

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 (2012 Black 6M 370Z) 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!

Minsu · 03-20-2013, 03:14 PM

this literally happened the day after u got it?!

Trips · 03-20-2013, 03:16 PM

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.

JohnsZ · 03-20-2013, 03:26 PM

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!

Yeah there is something funny there.

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

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

enkei2k · 03-20-2013, 03:43 PM

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.

Sway · 03-20-2013, 03:44 PM

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

LOL!

gsxr750 · 03-20-2013, 03:49 PM

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.

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.

Gorilla 63621 Mag Wheel Locks = They work for 19" Sports Package Rays!
