Default Wheels lost in parking garage!!

Saw this on another forum. The forum member saw this in a hospital parking garage in Miami. Very sad!

I guess centerlocks would have helped here??

Lock bolts?

At least they left the ceramic brakes!

Doesn't look like an "approved" jack stand either

That's not consideration, that's not wanting to leave their jacks behind.

Seems odd to me that someone would steal the wheels off a TurdBro, as the applications those wheels are useful on are very limited

Ebay sale most likely...I had the same thing happen to me in the early 90's with a 240SX. Ordered new wheels/tires from Tire Rack and back on the road in 4 days.

I remember finding my brand new '89 WS6 Firebird in the same condition one morning, in my apartment parking lot in Austin. They left it perched on railroad ties.

Pro tip: when this happens to you, you need to act more upset than I did. Apparently I wasn't outraged enough, so the cop who came out to take the report accused me of insurance fraud.

You don't know Miami. No lights on I-95 as they've stolen all the street lamp wires. They'll steal anything!
