Not Happy......

I just got home from an extended night shift (yay, 12 hours looking after sick people) to find some thieving little bastard has stolen the wheels off my car! SON OF A BITCH!!!! Needless to say I'm not in the best of moods, considering I've got another shift tonight, it's windy as hell and my ED is propped up on bricks! Dunno what they were thinking, they were only the EB XR6 wheels. So if anyone on the forum knows of anyone in Adelaide who FOUND a set, let me know. I'd be VERY interested to meet them.....

Bastards! Sorry to hear Chelv, what a way to end your shift! :(

I remember a brand new Holden ute down the road from me had its wheels nicked and was just left in the middle of the street ... not even on bricks

:

Hope you find the 'peices of trash' that did it!

Bugger - I think AFF Lynch mob needs to be assigned to meet them as well.

Dam shame - that sucks big time, Don't you wish you had a "trunk Monkey"

Or a "trunk Junkie" some strung out homeless dude who would stab them with a used syringe for the hell of it!!!! Im even more ****ed off now coz I put the original 14's back on! My gf keeps telling me, "well at least you've got the other wheels to put back on" I'm sure she means well, but she likes commodores!

Lowlife c*n*s...

maybe if these morons actually knew what it was like to work hard and earn something in life, they wouldnt try to drag people down with them whilst doing this sort of shit.

If you find out who it is and you want a hand persuading them to return them to you then let me know :Up_to_som

Ill keep an eye out in the traiding post/classifies/ebay for you anyway

Anything about them that would make them stand out from others - marks, scratches etc?

I stripped off all that clear crap and polished them nice & shiney, that was about all. They were in really good nick with not too many scratches too. They had brand spankers 205x65x15 Azzuro tyres (cant remember if they were bridgestone or goodyears!)

Sorry to hear mate, some poeple are just low life scum

rag top · 03-02-2005, 06:00 PM

Going to get some lock nuts fitted in future??

ilsautomotive · 03-02-2005, 06:29 PM

Sorry to hear it mate, it's just a sad fact of life these days. Would insurance help in this case?

I had locknuts fitted!!! the nuts were all left on the ground & it looks like they attacked them with a pair of vice grips!

Insurance are covering the loss, since the wheels were a factory item, they have no problem payin for replacements. I am not looking forward to stripping & polishing another set of wheels tho!

Thanks for all the kind words & vengeful sentiments, you guys rock! :sm_headba

Bugger re: locknuts... sounds like they must have been planning it, as they sounded like they were very prepared. you going to go for similar wheels, or go for something different with the insurance $$??
