^^
cement blocks are cheaper and easier to get (as e.g wood)
and where you would place them, to not make the car snap over and squeeze your fingers?

if you own an RS over a certain time. you don't have the need for it... to cash those (maybe 80k? for a stolen car. papers. risk...) in such a way.

Don't you need a special tool to remove center lock wheels? (I've never owned them, so I have no clue)

John beat me to it and shut the other thread down.

Klemens maybe you can throw the VIN in the thread title?

Stolen in Sweden. First the wheels were stolen overnight, the day the car was stolen during the next day. VIN WP0ZZZ99ZGS189886.

A place called Stavnäs I think.
It happened 13/14. May.
The owners e-mail adress is: johan@heycom.se

This is an insurance job if I've ever seen one.

It happened to the Honda that was parked next to my RS back when I lived in Worcester, not that far from you! I was amazed they didn't leave a single mark on my car despite there being very little space between the two cars.

Maybe it's just bias from GTBOARD.com's social media postings, but it seems like Nordic countries (especially Sweden and Denmark) have a whole sh!tload of vandalism, theft, and parting out of high-end cars. It feels like they post several of these per week.

According to Rennteam the car has been found.

"I just read that the car has been found and returned to its owner. There is a photo too and it does not look pretty. The car has been driven 1200km, is badly scratched, missing the rear wing and a lot of other items. The wheels are back on though."

Too weird of a story!
So its an imported car? (does have both german and swedish reg plates) from germany to sweden, then wheels taken off, put back on stolen, driven 1200km, found and stolen again.

Could it be something weird with the keys when they imported it from germany?
