My wife's Honda was totaled Tuesday of last week. So I've been driving the Camaro daily and she's been taking my truck to work while we are car shopping. This morning she left, opened the garage door and yelled for me. The tone of her voice told me it wasn't good. I ran outside and we found my truck in my driveway on blocks with all the wheels and lug nuts missing. All of them. Apparently they needed them for their truck. I had to take her up to borrow her mom's Accord and I spent the morning chasing down parts. I'll have the new wheels tomorrow and tires as well. $3386 is the total for wheels, lug nuts, tire pressure monitor valves, and replacement tires for the ones I bought in November. Fucking awesome.

Yea, I was like $3300. HOLY HELL! But if insurance is paying for it with no deductible... so be it. We bought my dad those exact wheels with tires (as take offs) when he bought his new 2014....$1200 from dealer... everything, lugs, center caps, tpms.

Glad they didn't damage the truck. I've seen some silly collateral damage from thieves

He sold me the wheels and parts at wholesale. And the tires are as cheap as they can sell them to me (far more than I paid in November). I wasn't sure who was paying. Just that I needed them, I'd file the paperwork and sort that out later.

I'm glad they didn't manage to scratch it all up and hit the fenders with a jack, etc. That part was nice.


My neighbor said the car they saw out front had 3 guys and they got out and very quietly clicked their doors closed. They weren't so quiet when they left. He said the car was too small for tires. I wonder if they stacked them behind my truck and called friends to come pick them up. Maybe these guys are pulling them off and having a second crew run by and grab them? I'm not sure how they did it from the information I have, but they managed to do it "clean".
