Ouch sorry to hear. Apt living sucks. Got my Z stolen from parking in our own apt last yr. Luckily they only took stupid radio, didn't even touch the wheels. Thank god I have a home with a garage. Hopefully insurance will take care of that for you. Move to a place more private with more private place to park. Back when I was a student I lived in a condo community with private driveways so it was safe(er).

I park at my same apartment all the time. sometimes i switch spots but usually around the same area. I had mutekis on. i was waiting for summer to come so i can order Kics Neo chro but not gonna happen now. F@#K ... Insurance doesn't cover for aftermarket wheels do they?
Something else.. i know its too late to say this but whenever I park with my VOLKS I turn my wheel fully to one side to lock the steering. I have rim locks and if anything they can only steal 2 rear rims. As the other 2 are blocked by the fenders and front bumper. Most people wont take it cuz you cant just sell 2 rims.
Again sorry for your lost. I would of pretty much went king kong on everyone.

Wow it's been awhile since I've seen or heard of someone's wheels getting stolen and left on bricks. If the complex has cameras see if management can help you out. Also check out ebay, craig's list, etc. Some crooks are so stupid that they will try to sell to someone or a shop nearby in the area. Sorry for your loss and best of luck.

wheels locks are good enough to deter petty thieves... if they really want them.. nothing will stop them... they'll use the ultimate wheel lock remover... (power drill)..... =/

You have full coverage they might cover you? I know my AAA does.
Something else.. i know its too late to say this but whenever I park with my VOLKS I turn my wheel fully to one side to lock the steering. I have rim locks and if anything they can only steal 2 rear rims. As the other 2 are blocked by the fenders and front bumper. Most people wont take it cuz you cant just sell 2 rims.

They were tuner nuts. I was planning to get Kics in a few weeks. They were supposed to be temporary lugs..
