Someone stole my cars wheel at Tampa Hard Rock (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Martino]

Replaced it with the wheel from their nissan, continental tire, I had eagles and blacked out rims

Stole 1 tire, wtf, can they be tracked by the tire they gave me??

At security to see what they can do

 

[Frogzilla]

?!?!

Wtf. And i would uh check that those lug nuts are tight

 

[SiouxperStack]

Some people's kids.

 

[Anthony Martino]

My tires are 19 inch, they gave me a 17 inch with only 2 of 5 lug nuts, lol

Wow I can’t get over how strange this is. Sorry man.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they could track it if the wheel they gave you has a tire pressure monitoring system

Feeling better about my upgrade to locking lug nuts!

Sorry this happened to you. What is wrong with people?!!

This, of course, didn’t even make the top 10,000 List of strange things that happened in Florida this evening.

 

[Sprouty]

So is this theft? Seems more like a trade to me.

Sorry to hear about the tire @Anthony Martino hope they find the dick.

Careful though! Locking lug nuts are not theft proof they just make it more difficult for someone without the right tools. Only way to make your wheels theft proof is to get wheels no one wants to steal. That’s why I got this beauty :

You might want to count your engine's cylinders, too.

(Sorry about this -- someone was pretty desperate there...)

Or just leave them factory.....

 

[RowdyRawhide]

In all seriousness thought I wonder how many people would look at a wheel with Hub cap and say WTF where are the nutz

This is pretty messed up. I would absolutely be lying if I said I didnt chuckle. Not at your misfortune, but just at the fact that these nitwits took one wheel. Who the hell does something like this lol. Sorry man, hope you get made whole.

 

[TheWhiteJZ]

That is some crazy ish. What are they going to do with a Nissan with one black rim? And why would they bother giving you their wheel. Maybe it's pranksters and some guy with a Nissan got a free upgrade he doesn't want

 

[FordPickup92]

Da fuq??? LOL!!!! Sorry man that's pretty shitty

 

[rowlin]

Seriously. Da actual eff. I don’t even know where to begin about people sometimes.

I am sorry your car was vandalized and glad you were not hurt.

 

[WedgeRock]

So were you able to drive your car home?

And if not... are you a pusher? Or a puller?

Too soon?

Sorry this happened to you. Karma is a bitch, tho. And it doesn't forget thieves.

 

[Anthony Martino]

My wheels are stock fwiw, car came with the blacked out rims

I spoke with security and with seminole police, doubtful it'll go anywhere, but have a case filed with them, they're checking cameras but I was there awhile and it'll take time, and they don't have a good angle where I was parked

Posted on some poker facebook groups, some people are saying the tire they gave me looks like one from an Altima

 

[BarrieJ3]

How very strange. Can’t imagine why they replaced it after taking it.

Wish we had an explanation, but more so hope you get a clean resolution!

I'm not even mad, more bewildered than anything. Some have suggested maybe it was a spare tire of theirs they gave me, and perhaps they had black rims but one had gotten bent and they wanted to complete their look again without paying for it, which is why only one was stolen

 

[trigs]

Wtf!? That's just strange for sure.

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Well I hope they put it on wrong and it comes off at a stop light

 

[WedgeRock]

Might've been a time issue. Maybe they're planning on hitting you again. Or if they are stock, maybe they'll grab the other three from someone else.

At least you know where the cameras are now and can choose a better parking spot... I assume the thieves knew where the cameras were too.

If expect better security in the garage for elite card holders.

There aren't many times where I'm at a loss for words, but this one boggles my mind. The fact that they took the time to replace the wheel with another but with only two nuts... really weird. What an inconvenience, hopefully you can get some resolution to this!

It's possible they put all five on but didn't tighten them. I was on the highway when I noticed the problem and pulled over, so the other three maybe fell off, no way of knowing

Actually...found out first hand that locking lug nut removal can be faster and add to repair costs than standard lug nuts.

Instead of using the tire iron to unscrew a lug nut, they insert the flat end of the tire iron between the luck nut and wheel then step on it shearing the wheel stud.

After all four wheels were stolen from my car leaving me four sheared wheel studs, I learned. If someone wants your wheels, they’ll take them.

PS Sorry about the theft.
