Wow, I only only half serious that your wheels might be on Ebay, I'm glad someone actually thought to search for them after I made the suggestion. Hopefully the other victims get their stuff back.

 

even tho i live in a pretty safe neighborhood, ill remember to get wheel locks when i get some nice rims. wish u best of luck finding those rims and putting the criminal in jail.

 

What a great story!

 

Wow, that was a great story. I hope the kid that stole the wheels gets whats coming to him.

I guess I won't get wheel locks until I get nice wheels. It would be a shame if someone stole my stock 17's.

Care to explain how you can afford a Z plus all those mods if you are a medical student?

 

Read the whole thread. The rims are back and the kid is behind bars.

 

Nice work. Just read the whole thing. Did ebay pull the auction or is it still there for everyone to see? linky?

I nominate this thread for the My350Z.com hall of fame

 

Rarely do people ever get caught.

Good Job.

I think all wheels should have serial numbers imprinted on them.
Someone could make an Internet Database so someone could report them as stolen or not.

And sellers would be required to show the serial numbers so buyers could check them. If they are scratched off, then you can tell they were stolen.

 

found it! the thief's pic is there too:

[QUOTE=Speedracer]I dont have many mods whatsoever. im a junky for the private classifieds, and i have gotten alot of my stuff in brand new condition for more than 50% the price for the items new. I graduated from school last year, decided to take one year off before going to medical school. i have been working all year, and because of my education and good luck, i was able to find a high paying job as soon as i got out of school (last May). From May to November, I saved as much of the money I earned as I could, and I invested it at the same time in a few quick real estate deals. Before I new it, I had enough money to purchase a z in cash in november, as well as a couple of mods, and in the meantime I have been saving everythin since, so I can pay off my loans from undergrad, which are ridiculous. so basically, i will be entering medical school this august with my college loans paid off, and a 350z, only to accrue more than 200,000 in loans over the course of 4 years of medical school. The way i looked at it was that spending 40k that could be saved was only 20% of the total debt I would accrue in med school. so although it may not be the best investment, it wasnt that ridiculous (i.e "im 15 and I work at mcdonalds and I have 5k cash I am going to put towards a z when im 16). The bottom line is that I had good luck this year with earning money.. but as great as that seems, this was probably the worst year of my life (shows that money doesnt buy happiness)... but thats another story. So yah, thats my story... you asked, so I told.

by the way.. my 15 year old brother is saving for a supra for when hes 16 (hahahahah.. jk).. sounds like something "Fuchaownaofdaz" would say

 

SOMEONE QUICKLY... get the guys at the e46 forum involved... get me this muthafacker's address! lets go to his house and reclaim my car! 350z brothers UNITE!

 

I saw this thread twice now from my two boards, M3 forums, and S2KI....

My friend lives in your apt complex also. he pointed your car out one night while i was driving in. Looked bad on the blocks. but congrats on getting your wheels back. I went through this same problem with my S2000 seats. the guy ended up getting caught same way. I just added wheel locks to my M3.

 

this is in the davie/ft lauderdale area, right? i will be attending nova university medical school next year... and dayam my car is going to be right in that friggin area. im going to be living in the cedar keys apartments, right by the campus. is it worth it to get an aftermarket alarm system, when the only expensive mods i have are wheels with wheel locks (no stereo equip or tvs or pimp gear)? what do you guys think of this area? heard of cedar keys?

 

sorry lisa. Good luck sis.

Pretty much everywhere in SoFlo sucks when it comes to theft with cars... Bikes are stolen a lot also down here.

 

Tell me about it. I live close enough to SoFlo and my R-1 was robbed last october.

I cant believe it!!!!!! This thread is amazing.

Congrats on getting your wheels back!!!!

I have always wanted to catch someone in the act of stealing from me, (after having been stolen from before.)

This thread has given me almost as much satisfaction.

I give much respect to the guy who went to the trouble to check out Ebay. I am sure there were plenty of sets of LMs for sale and to sort through them all is an act of random kindess indeed. I am very proud of our forum members!
