so yeah, someone stole my summer wheels

[Astroman]

Two days ago I noticed that my drag wheels with the neo gens were missing from my garage. Someone had taken them in the morning when my car was back in the shop and I took my girlfriends car. She was home when it happened but unfortunately no one saw anything so far. Sent notices to everyone I knew in town, and will be making a reward flyer to post up. One tire had a nail in the sidewall so whoever wants to use them will have to take them in to replace. I'm gonna give a flyer to each of the tire shops (small town) so they can call the police. No one in central WA sells my wheels or tires so if someone is using them it should be easier to know, but this really sucks.

Since getting them back might never happen, what's the lightest 17" wheel in black out there? Also might consider a 16" wheel too.

Were the wheels marked so you can identify them if you spot them

Damn Brandon. When it rains it pours, eh? First the crash, now this. Sorry to hear, and I hope you find them. Can you collect some insurance money otherwise (e.g. renter's policy)?

obviously keep an eye on Ebay...

That is a nasty personal violation.

Someone walked into your place and quickly took that...How bad is the Meth problem out there? Do you do the track thing? Could be a boy racer that had an eye on your stuff. Someone's been watching you obviously. That freaks ME out...and I'm in Iraq! Well, it's time for a CCW and a sidearm.

+1 and two pissed off rotties

Craiglist for sure.

Post up pictures if you have. and post up a picture on CL that says "stolen wheels"

when I buy used stuff on Craiglist and someone post a warning like that, I keep my eyes peeled, so maybe if you warn people, at least make selling them difficult for them.

Sorry man. Someone took my mountain bike from my garage some years back, they don't care if there is someone in the house. Grrr.

lol, kinda. I curbed one and took a 2" long piece off the lip of one rim. The odds of someone has this exact combo in this town is pretty much impossible, neither the tires or wheels are currently sold here.

I know, this sucks. If it wasn't for my car looking so damn good I would be super depressed. I never restarted my renters insurance when I moved here, so unless someone gets a lead, I'm at a total loss.

Deffinetly. I've been keeping an eye out, so far nothing. Did find a nice set that would work almost perfect for $300obo, but they are 7 spoke with a polished lip.

The meth problem is bad. Not close to as bad in Yakima, which is the meth capital of washington state. We did have an issue about a month ago where a neighbor two houses over walked around our house, paced in front of our garage, and stepped into our garage. I knew this because it had snowed that night and I traced the footprints. I didn't call the police because nothing was missing at all. I have no proof my neighbor did this, but his history has me suspicious. Were getting motion sensor lights installed, and I am getting back a small CCTV camera. Also going to setup a webcam to take motion sensor video of part of the garage and driveway from the window. Whats scary is that my gf was at the house. She has a baseball bat by the couch at least but hates guns.

I'd second this. I had some items stolen out of my car while it was parked at my house (touch screen CD player, cds, stock speakers, etc. - around $1,000 worth) and my renter's insurance paid for it since it was on our property.

But definitely sucks Astro!

Im sorry to hear about that!! Hopefully you find your rims soon!!
