New Truck<Thieves FML

[Chopped54]

One of the common denominators that I have seen is that almost all of the stolen wheels are done on trucks that are on level ground. My neighborhood all has an incline to the driveway that would probably make it hard for someone to jack up without it rolling downhill.

They do not jack them up most of the time. Just jam some bricks under it, cut the valve stems and pull the wheels off....

How do they get the bricks under the rotors?

The truck had locks on it.

I think he meant they put blocks under it, cut the valve stems, and then take the wheels by defeating the locks.

I'm going to give you a +10 for this post, solely because I'm certain it is the first time the word "Ostensibly" has ever been used on this, or the old board.

Thank you, kind sir.

the consensus says, buy Ford and your shit won't get stolen.

gm hasnt had discs on the rear of trucks since 05 (they had HUGE parking brake issues wearing out the insides of rotors), gms rear discs suck on the trucks. My truck with drum rears stops better than my buddys with discs...same truck otherwise. Mine even stops better with the malibu behind it than his does!

that's funny, my old '09 TBSS and all my friends' TBSS have rear disc brakes. We must've been extra special.

Heard watching the game a Dallas Stars player had two rims stolen off his ride this week.

Just finally read this thread, right up the street from my house the same thing happened to my neighbor (same truck no less).
My brother said they investigated 4 incidents of this happening over this week. (dpd)

Hmm...Well the two I know of were in steep ass driveways. The incline didn't phase this crew a bit. They just used more landscaping blocks.
