i'll let you know.. supposedly the body shop is suppose to come get it.. at this point i don't care how they get it up there or what they do.. i still have my old RPM 505's, but i don't have tires for them

Well there truly is no need to get all worked up as the thieves are long gone so all you would be doing is stressing yourself out for no reason. So you have the right mindset; this is one of the reasons why we pay car insurance.

Man i hate to see that this happened, Atleast they didnt kick in your intercooler or possibly atempt to remove you Kit ( Although this would take alot more than Jacks lol) It will be a hell of a lot more difficult to get your money out of the Kit. Good call sending the Jacks they left to the police station. I bet those ***s baught the jacks at a local autozone ( or something ) the day befor or possibly the day of. Maybe one of the employies rembers one or two guys purchasing those exact jacks. This is actully something i would do, Go to all the local stores and show the pictures to the employies and ask if they saw anything. Im sure the police could get further though. ( Possible get to look at survalence tapes) but i would still go check my self. Dont leave it to the police to sometimes be lazy and not hit all the key shops. Good luck bro and hope you get all your cash out of it.

Did you have wheel locks? Or are they completely useless to get since if someone really wants your wheels they will find a way.
I hate when **** like this happens.

In Doug's and the defense of anyone else who gets their wheels stolen. Wheel locks don't do anything for a theif with the right tools.

For those of you who have aftermarket wheels the only thing you can do to "protect" yourself is to make sure you have an insurance rider to cover the cost of your wheels in the event that they do get stolen.

I'm surprise Doug's car is not garaged... I also live in a very nice neighborhood and I wont even attempt to park on an open area.

they may come back to see what replacement you get....install a silent alarm that detects metal touching your wheels and comes with a remote pager...

WOW - so sorry to hear this doug. Thieves are the lowest POS in the world. This has been happening way too often lately in the Mid-A as well.

https://my350z.com/forum/mid-atlanti...e-morning.html

Can't find the other link in the Mid-A where the OP had his car totalled because they took everything....right in his own driveway .

When I had my Corvette I had it broken into 3-4 times and the glass roof stolen 3 times. We would go to the summer Corvettes at Carlisle event and you would see the glass selling for $1K+

You may want to go to this to see if your rims show up:
