370z sport wheels stolen!!! Help!

G35guy84 · 08-24-2009, 05:26 PM

Yeah, I'm trying to get over it. It's just a shame that I have to now live in fear and get up every night at 3am to make sure my car's okay.

I have not read this thread fully, but did insurance kick in to buy you new wheels? Did you just buy stock wheel & tires again or are you going aftermarket now?

G35guy84 · 08-24-2009, 05:41 PM

I paid my $500 insurance deductible, but the insurance company paid the remaining $7600 balance.

wheel locks worth it?

Holy cra...!

Seriously? That's what our wheels are worth on replacement?

EDIT: NM, noticed the damage to the car too - that's probably all inclusive.

More like someone who knows someone who lives near the neighborhood...

Some thugs rollin' by, saw the rims one day, decided to come back later and pick them up.

I'm glad I keep my Z locked away.

Holly shi*, that just looks wrong. A brand new Z on block, people who do that are the worst. Hope your Z's ok now

In the state of texas your car is considered an "area" of your home and "personal property", there fore i would shoot a mutha flucka in the hips and then chop a finger off if they caught them doing it.

Gotta love texas! I caught a 16 yr old kid trying to jack a friends Z4 about a year ago. Held him at gunpoint until the police arrived, kid pissed himself. Scum of the earth I tell ya. Helps if you have a concealed handgun license.

This is so horrible. I'm very sorry at your loss. I hate thieves with a passion!

I updated post 1 with pics. I hope you don't mind.

bboylito · 08-26-2009, 02:25 PM

I hate to see this kind of thing happening, I live in Suffolk county too, I think i've seen your z around DPA. i'm not saying you did, but all it takes is one night of hanging out on DPA for a Wyandanch/bayshore/Islip scumbag to follow you home and plan his attack.

My civic hatchback got stolen last year, I had a removeable steering wheel, alarm, fuel cutoff switch, and always took the ECU fuse out before going to bed. This particular night i got home at 2am, landlord woke me up at 7am to find my car missing.

Thieves will get their justice.

Not at all. I'm just glad the whole incident is over and my car is good as new. It just sucks that I now have to wake up every morning fearing the worst.

Thanks to you and everyone else for your support.

Amen!

Yeah, I drive on Jericho every day, so I'm sure you've probably seen me around.

I literally cried when they towed my car off the driveway only a month after having it. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Nikon FM · 08-26-2009, 08:23 PM

Sorry to hear about what happened. There is bound to be some difficulty getting over the incident so my recommendation is to dive into fun stuff you like to do and enjoy yourself. Talk to your neighbors and really get more eyes watching for problems. In a nice area everyone around your place is probably feeling some concern as well.

Recommendations:

Lojack has some nice options that should help. You can even have your phone called if there is a problem.

Motion sensing lights aimed in the cars vicinity are probably the best at discouraging thieves.

The lights and a camera to catch whoever.

Good luck!
