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).

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)..... =/

sucks to hear so much stuff is getting stolen now a days. times are hard.... everyone with nice rims should keep a good eye out on them... thieves will recognize them and realize they're worth big $$....

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.

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.

Yeah if I ever get another set of wheels I'm thinking of 2-3 different locks just to be safe.

Riverside is an average place. It's just there are low lives just wandering around the city that makes it a bad place.

I'm probably going to move out to a house next year for school and garage it.

Yeah. I'll keep that in mind. I mean I didn't think something like this would happen but I guess some people are that low heh.

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

someone hit and ran my friend's car when he lived there. there's just way too much spontaneous activity around that area that makes it unsafe.
