We don't mess around in Texas, fast cars and fast thieves........That's crazy, what the hell do you haul all those in?

Matts94Z28 07-26-2011 02:15 AM

No kidding. Must have had a 53ft container to haul that away.

20" stockers. open market price for new tread 20" stockers is around $1200.

140 / 4 * $1200 = $42,000

It may take a little while to unload 35 sets.

man I need me some factory Yukon 20s for my truck...hmmmm

PapaBear 07-26-2011 09:56 AM

No lug nuts in that pic either, wonder if they took them too?

At least they had the courtesy to put blocks under the rotors instead of setting them down on the rotors.

A stealership is the victim of stealing?............How ironic!

Shibby 07-26-2011 10:23 AM

the dealership kept the lugnuts when they took the wheels off so they could put the wheels back on once the insurance gave them a check for the new wheels...

This might not be so far-fetched. I mean, what thief is going to take the time to bring 140 wooden blocks to put the vehicles up on? That takes time and means you care? Why would a thief do such a thing? Why would a thief give a damn about the vehicles themselves?

REDRAGTOPRS 07-26-2011 11:06 AM

This is definately a brazen inside job and insurance fraud....

LadyInRed 07-26-2011 11:19 AM

:lol: Bobo.

I don't think thieves would have wasted time putting them all up on those blocks.... something suspicious going on.

98Camarod 07-26-2011 11:45 AM

nah, they were just lucky the thieves were nice hahahaha

slowgreen99 07-26-2011 12:16 PM

inside job or not, I would have to think that someone saw that shit going on! That's crazy. How many jacks, batteries, and people do you really think were involved? And like said before, an 18 wheeler had to be the haul vehicle...couldve also been the vehicle used to block the view from people seeing what was going on.

This is how you leave a vehicle if your a thief.

The only reason you have blocks is because you can't get your jack back out if you set that sombitch on the frame.

Take a look at how they moved the portable curbs under the car, once again to get the jack back, so I've heard.

shoulda invested in those 30$ locking lugs. At least might have slowed down that cobra theft alittle. I know i made sure to park mine right in the view of the garage cameras everytime, i heard too many horror storys from mustang week just like that.

Locking lugs only keep honest people away. They sell tools (most tool trucks)to remove them, just as easy as a stock lug nut.
