Guess I picked a bad day to quit smoking the rock

This happened to a coworker of mine a few years ago. In broad daylight in a busy parking lot. His supervisor was eating his lunch in his car and noticed 2 guys going back and forth to my buddies Chrysler 300. It didn't occur to him at first what these a-holes were up to. But when he saw them remove one wheel he put his car in drive and blocked the entrance to the lot with it. When the truck tried to leave the passenger got out and put a gun to his face and he immediately put the car in reverse. Believe me, these dirt bags don't go on these missions unarmed. If you were to confront them in the act, you better be armed and ready for possible return fire. I say this, it is not worth your life. we all let our guard down at some point. Hope you take the proper precautions to make it harder for these scumbags jack you again. I'm sorry Tim. I hate to see this happen to anyone.

This sucks man
I just moved to Austin and thank god i don't have my TE37's anymore. Since i have been here every nice car in the parking garage has had the wheels stolen. My neighbors brand new e63 amg - on blocks. Bmw 550i - on blocks. Mercedes c350 - on blocks. Thank god for my stock wheels.
What was the outcome?

^^ Tim hasn't really done anything as of lately since he's still working about 60-70 hours a week.
However, he has already arranged to purchase a set of OEM wheels from a fellow VQ driver and is clearing out his garage so he can park his car within. Currently, he's driving his mom's vehicle to and from work but he's definitely still on the lookout for these wheels.
Thanks for the support everyone. Tim definitely needs it.

Son is correct, I picked up a set of mint condition coupe 18's wrapped with Michelin Pilot Super Sports so I'll roll on those while I search for some replacement Gravis1's.

I had wheel locks but they got them off and for some reason stole them and my lugs along with the wheels and my trunk spoiler.
Valerie, thanks for the kind words. I hope I get mine back but I'm not counting on it.
