    My neighbor woke me up this morning to let me know what happened. My apartment complex just leaves the front gates open.

    Luckily they couldn’t get the driver side because of the curb.

    The thieves didn’t even have the courtesy to leave it on blocks :facepalm:

    Did you have locking lug nuts? Mine came with them and I was thinking about taking them off because the little tool was a pain in the ass to find when I was switching to my snow tires. I looked it up and saw you can undo them by hammering a socket on to them so they don't stop this crap anyway.

    Either they took the time to pry his matching tire off the spare wheel or they used that for leverage somehow would be my guesses.

    OP, does insurance do anything for you?

    Inconsiderate selfish people, man. I hope you can get them caught and get your stuff back but if not let us know if we can do anything.

    Keep your eyes open on craiglist or offerup/letgo in your area. I know you can't really prove too much, but if you find them and their still sporting the same tires, maybe you can do something, or maybe you can't. IDK. People like this are a waste of oxygen. Just be sure to report this to the police asap.

    This is so shitty man. Sorry this happened. Hope this thief/thieves get what they deserve. I would check the complex's cameras.

    A buddy of mine got his tailgate stolen while it was parked for an hour, at a parking lot. He barely had his Tacoma for a month.

    That's terrible! Horrible evil people out there. I hop they find those scumbags. It seems like whenever someone gets stuff stolen on this forum it's mostly in California.

    LA and Riverside areas are heavily dense in population and with alot of that being low income, homeless and gang members. Albeit there are nicer parts of town, those others less than civilized will still be your neighbor.

    I agree lol My buddy's tailgate was stolen from Anaheim. I lived in Southern California for almost 22 years. I know which areas to avoid at night and which ones to not leave my car at.

    That makes no sense. Are you saying I can start breaking into people's homes and stealing everything because it's on private property so the cops can't do anything?

    Which wheels do you have? I will keep an eye on the local (OC, LA, IE) listings and let you know if I see them for sale. A-holes!
