Been there. (Except they took the whole car [a Civic].)

People stealing Focus wheels probably think they're 4x100 to fit Civics, Integras, and all those other cars.

Keep and eye on eBay. Let us know what kind of wheels they are; I'll keep an eye on Honda-Tech.com, too.

One more question: Did you have locking lugs on your car?

holy crap, they went to town. They must have knew somethin about what they were doing, seeing as how they took the whole drivers side window out without breaking it, god damn!

stealing private property is the worst. i can let it go to giant horrible conglomerates and faceless corperations but to here-there joe blow? seriously.

Well, the good thing is that I don't have a deductible for this so it will get fixed for free, plus a free rent car!

The funny thing is that both of the front wheels were bent and I needed to get new wheels soon anyways...so they kinda did me a favor.

It doesn't bother me that they stole the wheels and all, but it just make me so violated that someone would do this just outside my house. The weird thing is that they didn't take anything else out of the car. They broke the window to get to the glovebox where the key is to the wheels and that was it. They didn't even take the CDs or golf clubs in the back seat. They were obviously just after my wheels.

Thank God for insurance!

the golf clubs were probably worth 2x more than the wheels

Did you have a car alarm?

Did you have a car alarm? This is one of the reasons why I favor sleepers. Look normal ultra powerful.... But then again i've caught a few people and managed to keep them there until the cops arrived. Anyways I hope the insurance covers the damage, but the deductable is still going to cost. Take it easy

That sucks... but it is why the first serious aesthetic mod for my car will be a GARAGE. Then I'll work on the wheels, tint, lowering, bodykit and all the stuff that makes theives notice a car.

What is the black thing in this pic? Is that the glass?

Sorry to hear about it dude. Reminds me of when I got my system jacked and the two times someone tried to steal my car. I think the worst part is that you want to sleep out in your car for the next time that they come back.

I'm no longer the only one to make wheel jokes about!

Man if anybody i know exactly how you feel. Its a terrible feeling. Hopefully you won't get any crap from your insurance and it will be handled quickly.

They really jacked the car up strange though......

Actually i just noticed something even weirder. First they knew exactly where your lug key was, second did they actually pop your hatch, pull up your hatch floor and grab your focus jack to do the left side of the car????

Thats really messed up!

Where in SA did this happen?

There is a pieced-together ZX3 near my house, the driver looks like he'd do something like this ( though I can't really say for sure, of course ). I'll keep a good eye on it.

To think I was about to start parking my car outside instead of in the driveway. I guess the only good thing it my driveway is a bit too slanted and they would have a heck of a time trying to do it. But man...ooooo I'd love to see it happening, I swear I'd put someone in the hospital.

That sucks! Sorry this happened to you. The pictures of the window sitting on the grass blows my mind. There should be plenty of prints, but the cops aren't going to use them for anything. It pisses me off to see what people do. When I washed cars for my dad at his dealership, I would see all sorts of damaged and stolen stuff. Kids would break windows with rocks. People would steal fender flares from trucks, take antenna's, steal wheels and tires, take the entire car, and all sorts of stuff like that.

People who steal, suck!
