Nick,
Sorry to hear/see the result of you being a victim. From experience of either taking the report or following up the complaint, they'll be back to get the other two and possibly the new set as well. More than likely they got spooked or the whole car would be up on blocks (bricks). Do what you can to protect them; wheel locks really do work for the more opportunistic thief. The pros actually take orders for specific wheels/tires and not much will stop them.
Good luck !! It's no fun being a victim.

Bastards! 
I feel the same way about the liberals trying constantly to take my guns away. Whether it is illegal or legal, in my mind, it is still robbery! 
Nick,I hope someone nails the scum-bag(s)!!! 
Best Regards, Walter

I bought the wheel locks first thing this morning, hopefully the other two will still be there when I get home tonight.
What really kills me is a block away there are some cars with expensive custom rims on them, these were just plain old stock factory rims.

Easy fix to this problem. Just wait for them to show up tonight, and have your gun ready Nick. Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up! Just some friendly advise...

Nick--
That definitely sucks. My mother's vacant house was broken in to twice. I put a new deadbolt on for the second time and found the kitchen door in the backyard. I agree with the other guys, they'll be back for the other wheels. It might be a little trouble, but if you can catch them on surveillance video, that would feel really sweet. Good luck!

I have a short barreled shotgun, and I was looking for a good pet name for it. I caught some people prowling around my house one night..... One of the prowlers named it "Jesus" when he saw and heard it.

Factory rims and tire sets ususally go to auto body repair shops who put out a list of what they are looking for to pro theives...they pay more than going rate...i imagine you have a chop shop, or that mentality of those guys, working in your neighborhood...
the auto body repair shops bill the insurance company big bucks for the replacement and they pay nothin hardly to the professional crooks...
let the local P.D. auto theft guys know...if you have connections...they might just shine you on too...'cause somebody just brought in a fresh box of Krispy Kremes....tee...hee....

You can buy a cheap security camera that will hook up to your computer and turn on when it senses motion. A buddy uses it at his office. Works great. Some are even color videos. Very small also. You can hide it in a window sill and no one would know it's there!

Nick,
That sucks!!
Know the feeling to go out in the morning and find things amiss.
My whole car was stolen. For a few seconds you don't get it, then it sinks in. Violation!

Nick:
Boy, that car sure does (did) look fast! I bet you've violated the speed laws in it numerous times. You're better off. With only two tires, you'll never get a speeding ticket. What with it going around in circles and all....;-)
Seriously, though I am a country cop, I've never worked a TBUT where the car was up on blocks! I thought that was a cliche'.....
