They are retarded, that's for sure. My old boss hired his son-in-law to be the service writer! No clue about anything. Every tech was just a kid or guy fresh out of school or off the street that could turn a wrench. Always one guy at least with 10-20 years though but he can't do all the dealers work.

damn sorry to hear, can only imagine what it would be like to come out and see that!! as someone else said, it sucks but you will get a payout from insurance and can buy aftermarkets if you wanted a different look :) (I know, try to turn a positive out of anything!) Hopefully nothing else is damaged by the way they dropped it.

i also recommend you folks parking out doors get a tilt sensor. wheel locks slow theives down, but they are pretty easy to remove.

Sorry about your wheels... this has been an ongoing problem in our area... All higher end cars have been targeted. We even had the police come around in our neighborhood and warn us because we had the vehicles being targeted. Defiantly looking to get the tilt sensor in next week. Luckily there are a lot of places in south Florida. Good luck.

So my insurance company approved and cut the check with my name and the dealers in the pay to section. my question is the following, if in the estimate the dealer put Yokohamas but I prefer the bf goodrich is that going to be a problem?

Sucks man... They probably dented your rocker panels too with the bricks. I've had to get mine fixed because the dealership's techs don't watch their liftpoints.

I effing hate thieves...and jealous fools. I hope they're caught man.

We had an identity theft at our office, they broke into the mailbox and stole some paperwork and eventually started writing themselves checks and buying stuff at best buy. Anyways, we hired a private investigator and he found prints on our mailbox and identified the theives, who we later caught. They are still in prison:tup: meth addicts

Proper locks ordered in December 2009 for my 2010 Z...

:iagree: ^^^Thats what I have. Along with the 3303 model system.

makes zero sense to melt down a wheel. aluminum is less than a dollar a pound, not 8

:icon18: $4000 theft doesn't really warrant a fingerprint expert to come in. My house was burglarized and they took $100k worth of stuff, INCLUDING guns, (one being a Desert Eagle) and there were GORGEOUS prints on the buttstock of a shotgun... They wouldn't take prints off the wood because the burglary wasn't big enough.


they certainly will fingerprint. My brother had one firearm and his wallet stolen out of his vehicle and they fingerprinted the whole thing so Idk what kind of lazy *** police force you were dealing with...

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions, really do appreciate it.

Quick update...i still haven't received my car back.
The wheels came in but in the process of reinstalling the brake lines, they broke something and the guy had to reorder that part.

Should be coming in tomorrow, btw total damages were 7,100

May the thieves slide under a gas truck and taste their own blood.

It was about 2 weeks ago, I witnessed a wheel theft in person.
I was at a mall around 2:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and there was a guy standing next to a brand new escalade sitting on a hydraulic jack. I just thought he had a flat so I just parked my car in front of him and walked into the mall (Brea Mall in Socal).
When I came out 2 hours later the escalade was sitting on bricks with all 4 wheels gone. I couldn't believe it. The thieves stole the wheels during broad day light on a Sunday at a busy mall parking lot. :shakes head:
I was just glad that they didn't decide to take my wheels too. If any local member decides to go to this mall, should be really careful as the mall security guard said this happens quite often at this mall.

One word - Garage. Your car is more important than your professional Beer Pong table. When i lived in an apartment in my 350Z days i required them to have garage units before i would move in. If you must park outside tilt sensor is a good idea or park on an incline of more than 20%
