New Owner, Sports Rays Stolen

accchoi · 07-31-2013, 05:31 PM

Hello all, I'm new to the forum...

Well.. I can't believe my first thread in this forum has to start like this.

Me and my fiance bought 2013 370Z Touring+Sport for my fiance's car and as for our weekend car. (She doesn't drive much)

It has been about 4 weeks since we got the car.

Last Sunday, I came out to take trash out around 7AM, and noticed Z was vandalized and Sport Rays were gone.

Last time I checked my car was around 3AM, so... it had to be between 3AM to 7AM.

Well.. insurance is covering it, but damage has been done and my fiance is still in shock as she has never been in this kind of situation.
To add even more stress to this situation, when I called police, first thing they asked was "Do you know who stole your rims?" Seriously????

Hopefully this stops and these thieves seriously need to think about how people work their tale off to afford good cars.....

I really hope rim theft stops... sigh...

Sorry for this being my first post in this community

btw this happened in Hayward CA, a GATED apartment...

Sorry... Btw, DO NOT rebuy factory tires, get Michelin Pilot Super Sports

wish I could.. my Farmers insurance does not want me to buy anything other than stock. My adjuster knew exactly what tire it came with...

Tell them to cut you a check and buy the tires you want... That's BULLSHÌT... If PSSs cost more than Potenzas, sure, pay the difference... But don't let them BS you into that.

Hell, if you want aftermarket wheels, but them. They just need to pay you for stock replacements

A car like this needs a garage. Certain cars are like children you have to keep an eye out on them at all times. To many predators. Stand your ground law. You’re not the first victim to get the wheels off the Z stolen. But perhaps the 1st off a 2013. Sorry for your troubles. Get a tilt motion alarm.

Sorry to hear. DE.50 is right. Get the check instead if you can swing it so you can buy what you want. Then get an alarm with tilt sensor.

check craigslist in your area. i can't imagine there are that many '13+ sport rays for sale anywhere.

Yup. Ask the seller about the car it came from and if they cannot show or say, they're you suspects. Too bad hard to prove unless it was a unique set of wheels or have some serial # or markings.

I've been checking since Sunday morning. No show.

Spoke with guys at dealership and wheel stores.. they basically told me thieves will most likely ship those to LA to sell it. sigh

Sorry about that. Does your apartment have any security patrols or cameras? I would raise some concern with your landlord about this. It is a ****** up country we live in that things like this happen. Why can't everyone be as nice as Canadians?

THIS

also try getting aftermarket rims if you can, some BBS rims would look nice on a 370z
