WOW!! That really does suck.
+1 did you have wheel locks?
+1 what kind of wheels did you have?
How did you get your car home?
Since this happened in a privately owned garage, are they responsible?

OMFG, that looks like the Nordstroms parking garage in Menlo Park Mall... i hope it isn't because i just ordered a set of wheels.

These scumbags deserve to die!

- Yes to locks
- Stockers
- A good samaritan loaned me his stockers (he has aftermarket) and i drove home after about 5 hours of gayness

I don't think anybody stole his wheels. What wheel thief carries around some cinder blocks to leave the car on? When your wheels get stolen, your car is left on the ground - unless you have some gentlemen thieves in the neighborhood.

Ok, if you put the car on the ground, how do you get your jack out from under the car? Leave it on blocks DUHHHH, I bet cinder blocks cost less than a jack. I just dont get why they would steal stock Z wheels lol.

Yeah Menlo... Nissan OEM Wheel locks
apparently the police and mall security found my car like that...
then why I walked out... people were already there...
and the cops later said they heard reports saying there were kids driving with wheels in the back of their car around route 1...

jesus man that's horrible, i hope those punks get what's coming to them. This can only lead me to 2 conclusions. Gasp, I'd hate for this to be another Z owner stealing stock wheels for their own Z or G. Or I have seen a few 240sx around with stock z wheels, and if they were kids put two and two together, they might have stolen them for that as well. You should keep a look out on that though, sorry again bro.

That both scares me and pisses me off.. I do go to Menlo quite a bit and now seeing this makes me not want to go there this weekend. I thought they would at least have some form of security devices in the parking garage. I remeber seeing wheel alarms before, unless im just making that up in my head...Is the mall/nordstom liable for this at all??

I am officially slamming my car as low as I can so no one can put a jack under it. Sorry for your loss brother.

Well at least they put cinder blocks underneath the car... as for me, I wasn't lucky cuz with my integra cuz they straight up pulled the jackstands out from underneath the car and let it sit on the rotors when they stole my rims..

well police said i was hit by professionals or people who knew what they were doing... because where i parked there are people walking around ALL the time and the cops figured the time frame has to be around 3 minutes for all 4 wheels to be off and blocks to be inserted...
like... when the cops and security all came the 2nd time ... there was a crowd around my car going "WTF"

someone bothered to steal stock rims? Man, what's this world coming to! Sorry to hear that you got jacked, but on the bright side it could be seen as an oppurtunity to get a nice set of rims (though i guess you'd be pretty scared to).

Stock wheels? The fact they stole your wheels was a blessing in disguise. Maybe they are good Z samaritans rolling around helping out Z folks stealing stock wheels so they now have an excuse to put something tasteful on. You have been released from the bonds of stock wheel goodness.

Get the check and go shopping !!! I have a nice set of used SSR GT3's for sale.
