Thats some bogus **** right there. I'd be livid if this happened to me and I found the perp somehow. How on earth did you find them? Thats some good detective work right there.

Now hopefully you can get those wheels back!

Goodluck and give us an update on what happens...

 

well if all **** fails... I'd confront him and say "You have my wheels.. and I'm going to **** your life up... SOMEDAY"

 

i just tried messaging the guy like i wanted to buy them.

if he gets back to me i'll let you know what he says...

 

This is exactly what I had to do when my wheels were stolen. I had to type up a paper with that described the imperfections on my wheels, etc, then sign it at the bottom since I didn't have receipts for my wheels. Don't go in their guns a blazin rambo style. That might turn out bad. Nag the detective to come out to help you get your wheels back. It's sounds like those are your wheels for sure.

 

hope you found them

 

Dude put his number on Facebook page 2 hours ago incase u didn't already have it. Check it out

 

The guy posted his number on the page. I spoke to the detective and she said I cant prove theyre mine since I dont have any positive way of identifying them....WTF?!

I would go over there myself but I kind of want to avoid the confrontation considering they know where I live.....

What do you guys think I should do?

 

Be honest and see if the guy will give you a break. He probably isn't the one who stole them which means he paid money out of his pocket so he won't just give them to you but if he's a decent dude maybe he will sell them back to you for what he paid. Do you really want them back at this point since you have no leverage from the police?

 

I hate when this kinda **** happens. This year alone i lost almost 6k in stupid situations like this or deals gone wrong.

Here's what i would do.. But just cuase i would doesnt mean you should... But if it floats your boat i guess give it a try

[while doing this make sure not to give him and idea you think theyre stolen or give him any ideas you drive a 350z also make sure you tell him your coming from a diffrent county like if theyre listen in OC tell em you from LA/ SD or IE]

If i were in your shoes i would call the dude up and buy the wheels from him threw paypal and once you have your wheels back cancel the payment n tell paypal when you bought the wheels you didn't know they were your stolen wheels till you notice when you got home and seen the ser#/vin# , same tier , curb rash ,discoloration and all the other stuff you said (also tell paypal about police report)...Pretty sure paypal will work with you once they find out he was using paypal to sell stolen items. But again only cancel payment if your 100000001% sure theyre your wheel

IM not tell you or saying its a good idea but that's what i would do to the f0ker who left my car on bricks. Hes lucky that i don't recommend also throwing a brick at his face
.
Mods srry for this post but i feel for the guy , n some of you know ive had my share of problems wit lames



I understand if this post gets removed but im just trying to help. Some of you know me and know ima good guy n wouldnt try to ccheat anyone

 

lol. i doubt guy will take paypal. especially if they really are stolen he wants cash. the only way to take them back is to somehow steal them and if police come knocking on your door is show them receipt if you have. he wont have a receipt of course.

so you are saying they are 100% sure they are your wheels? or you still have to confirm?

 

Insurance isn't paying u for ur wheels back?

 

99.99% isn't good enough :P just kidding ha.

So insurance isn't going to give you any money for your stolen wheels?

Personally I wouldn't ever pay twice for the same set of wheels ha.

Had a buddies Lexani's jacked from his garage unmounted, found them in a city 8 hours away, drove there and put a deposit down on the wheels then notified to police that they were his. The cops then showed up that night and found confirmed with him that they were his, no idea what happened to the guy and his girl after the fact.

 

how exactly did he prove they were his?

 

well they had custom pin striping on the spokes in a certain colour, and there where 5 of them and the 5th wasn't painted at all. Plus had the original receipt for them and so on.

 

any updates OP?

 

Bump for updates

 

Insurance should pay for OEM replacements, now if I'm not mistaken OEM replacements are pretty pricey with tires and should sort of cover your costs.

I would still continue with the case and give the detective the new owners number and have them investigate so they can get the sellers number and find the real crook.

 

is this the same alex from back in the Spugen days? hope you got your wheels back... because those are obviously yours.

 

Youre right but theyll most likely only give you the replacement cost of a refurb wheel rather than a new one, especially due to the car's age. Still, better than nothing. Should still be able to recoup about a grand, to be generous.

 

Sorry to see this happen...I hope you catch those b**stards!
