My Wheels Were Stolen!!

[Akalawur77]

So I woke up for work this morning to find all 4 wheels stolen from my car and my girlfriend's car and both cars were left on cinderblocks. I drive a 2017 Civic Si Coupe and she drives a 2017 Accord Sport. A police report has been filed but the officer's attitude suggested that it's not gonna get very far. If anyone finds anything suspicious please let me know. Both cars had original tires and only a few thousand miles. The Si had GoodYear Eagle Sport All Season 235/40R18 and the Accord had Continental ContiProContact 235/40R19. It happened in the middle of the night and the cars were parked on a main road that gets some traffic through the night, so it seems like it was a more "professional" job. Also our cars did not have wheel locks, but even if they did, there are master key sets or ways to force them or cut them off if you know what you're doing. Our cars were the only 2 impacted and this kind of thing is not common in my neighborhood. Happened in Bethlehem, PA 18017

Ouch. At least they kept them off the ground.

How do they get the wheels on the curb side?

They probably used the middle jack points in the back and the front of the car.

Definitely get wheel locks next time, the only way to get them out without a master key is to get a slightly smaller socket and hammer it in (makes alot of noise) so you can be alerted in time. Hopefully all ends well, anything insurance can do?

Aw man this sucks bro. I can relate. While I haven't had my wheels stolen yet, some of my cars have been broken into. The cost to replace the window has always been greater than the cost of the stuff they've stolen. Bums.

Im sorry to hear that man. Best bet for you too do is prevent this from happening again. Go get yourself a set of oem wheel locks and another set of Gorillia acorn style wheel locks. Two is better then one! I doubt a thieve is gonna have time to sit there and hammer sockets on two different wheel locks all night.

Same but you have to be preventive against the less unfortunate

PM sent to give you an extra set of OEM Honda locking lug nuts I pulled off my '15 SI before my trade. That'll take care of one car.

Someone else have a set collecting dust in their garage? The mans got 2 deductables he'll have to pay... not counting the BS the situation is.

Man, sorry to see this.

I have an extra set of OEM lug nuts and wheel locks as well if needed by OP.
