Damn man. Sorry to hear. Your insurance will cover it though? Next time try to put on some wheel locks on them. Maybe could have saved you.

sorry to hear the bad news. did they leave your car on blocks? when i first read your post, i thought you had aftermarket rims on and thieves stole your stock rims that were being stored.

Sounds like they didn't even need the locking key? Damn...that stinks.

Keep an eye on ebay, I bet they will pop up there in no time.

I'd be interested to see how much money the insurance company will reimburse you. Please post the amount so that we can compare it to the 18's. TIA.

Sorry to hear about it.

Yah, you just get a tad smaller socket than the locks and a 2lbs mallet to mash it
onto the lock and your wheel locks are pretty much useless. I don't even use
wheel locks these days...just too much trouble when working on the car, plus
pretty much useless as theft deterrent.

Im sure your insurance will cover for the losses and damage.

We have a insurance company run by government here in BC. I guess i only have to pay $300 deductible for the rims......maybe another 100 for the window

Wow, where do you live? I believe the $300 should cover all damages, including the windows. Man i hope this works out for you. It sucks how often this happens...

Damn!!! That really sucks… only 8 days… was the parking structure open…? That happened to me… the parking structure was secured with cameras and a carded gate… Yet… My craftsman tools set worth over $5000 got jacked… the cameras where worthless because they sprayed the lens…
