gotta be an inside job...!! The guy lives in a condo with a gated and secured parking garage. I would also believe that traffic in and out would be videotaped. I believe that the perps either live in the complex or visit someone living there...
Trust me ... those rims will be found or at least the knuckleheads that stole them will be caught..

I agree. Da,n this sucks. When my ES was stolen, it was by some knuckleheads I went to HS with and lived the next neighborhood over from the car...

Shouldnt be on a Porsche. They have a key lug wich has a specific combination found only in two places. the orgional key made by the manufacturer, or the replacement key made by the manufacturer. keep in mind that techs at dealer ships have a set of master keys. Which is every key ever made by porsche, audi, vw, skoda...etc. I had access to one of these. I should have bought a set before i quit. They only cost like $150 for the whole set. Makes me wonder if he had the locks on his wheels...

Hmm gated community, upscale living, nice car, and not a camera in the sky to see the "steal"? hmmm getting kinda fishy. Hope he finds who did it. I guess I got .0001% interest in a new set of wheels since someones insurance is going to pay!! hehehhe


Oh does Porsche use bolts on their wheel setup vs a lug and stud? I guess so since that would be a lot of studs to break off...

At least these thieves were somewhat smart. I had some ppl tryin to jack my rims in broad daylight at my college!! When I came I'm like wtf are you doing. They took another glance at my rims and just walked off. I woulda taken them on if they werent 3 big black guys twice my size.

Is a house a prerequisite to owning a car? I've seen some condo's I'd live in over lots of houses. In fact, I know two people with $500k condo's.

A co-worker lives in a nice house in a gated community. Had her stock GS wheels stolen right off her car. I live in a condo with 24 hour security. You can't get into the community unless I call the guard to let you in. WHo's safer?
