A Nissan GT-R owner in Long Island woke to find his wheels had been swiped during the night. The bums didn't even have the decency to keep it off the ground, leaving those beautiful Brembos kissing the asphalt.

You'd be surprised what the police won't due even with evidence. I bet they didn't even send a cop to the location, and that guy had to fill out a report over the phone, haha.

That sucks.

*garagelu* · 09-25-2009, 06:54 PM

do GTRs not have wheel locks on them? I bet the wheel and tire combo alone is at least 5-6,000 dollars. And I think those theives are idiots for not jacking the brakes too. Thats another couple thousand there.

If you're gonna do it, do it big. And that GTR looks like it was parked in an apartment complex or something. Who would leave a 80-90,000 dollar car out like that. Totally his fault.

Pretty sure that would've taken 3x more time to do + way more tools.

how so, I bet they had more than one person doing this. Each caliper is probably only held on by 2 bolts and then the rotor just slides off. Once my wheels are off, its takes me 1-2 minutes tops to take each of my brembos off.

the guy who probably spent a house down payment on his dream car from gran turismo, lol.. but that is messed up, but his insurance will cover it.

Kouki_monstr · 09-25-2009, 07:22 PM

ugh i hate theifs. they can go die in a fire!

implayaz9 · 09-25-2009, 07:42 PM

jesus.. that really sucks

roboticnissan · 09-25-2009, 08:13 PM

gotta admit its kinda funny. that dude did not in a million years see that coming!!!!
i mean yah if you have like te 37 or some other 2k plus wheels set up then for sure be weary but this guy no way!!!

MADE · 09-25-2009, 08:28 PM

So the owner drives a GT-R and lives in a house with no garage?

I can't tell 100% by the pics but it looks like condo's/apartments? But it is NY so the housing market can be rough. I don't buy it. I place my bet on Insurance scam.

SimpleS14 · 09-26-2009, 10:48 AM

I feel bad for the owner. I had my rims stolen in a similar fashion and it really sucks.

My neighborhood is oddly similar to the one in the pics, its quiet, full of families and you really wouldn't expect any kind of crime.

I'm thinking it was people just passing by the area since its not too far off a main road.

SexPanda · 09-25-2009, 09:58 PM

I dunno an apartment like that on long island is prolly a million dollars easy.

Still sucks. If there is one thing I can't stand, its a theif.

implayaz9 · 09-25-2009, 10:06 PM

house? the place looks like an apartment complex

BOROSUN · 09-26-2009, 05:29 AM

it's condos.

somehow i know this place...going to confirm it.

ppl forget its dem 20s yo. some dumbass is trying to install it on their donkey ride.

GSXRJJordan · 09-26-2009, 05:41 AM

You guys haven't thought of the possibility that he was at a gf's house or something? Just because you drive a nice car doesn't mean you don't park it at people's houses that aren't as nice.

yokotas13 · 09-26-2009, 05:45 AM

a guy on importatlanta, knows this guy

Apparently he was spending hte night at his GFs house. came out to this. he lives in a house with a garage.

VNG704 · 09-26-2009, 07:22 AM

Damn, specially made GTR rims. He should post that article on every car forum so anyone trying to sell them gets caught.

madd ocx · 09-26-2009, 08:46 AM

maybe his girl set him, cause instead of buying her a nice ring he bought the gtr, lol.. she wanted to teach him a lesson. but trust me i've seen better cars than the gtr that owners don't have no garage and park em on the street, but guess what no ones that stupidnto mess with it cause they would probably be found in the trunk of something else, lol..

heavenboundkevin · 09-26-2009, 09:02 AM

maybe he had some bunk tsw rims, and some fanboy jacked em for putting cheap rims on his car. lol.

Howard92884 · 09-26-2009, 09:28 AM

Yeah these guys are going to get caught or the people that buy these. Seriously how many people have GTR wheels.......

blaze203 · 09-26-2009, 10:23 AM

that sucks.. ive been there. earlier this year someone jacked my sportmax 002's

left me on honda jackstands... RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE!!! errr at least they werent 5 or 6 grand

IIIXziuR · 09-26-2009, 10:30 AM

At least they left him a floor jack and bricks!

palmdale_mob · 09-26-2009, 11:12 AM

There is not a whole lot of cars these wheels would fit on, with sizes like 20x9.5, 10.5

Unless if he got jacked by another gtr owner, who curbed his driving home drunk one lonely night

*hOngsterr* · 09-26-2009, 12:05 PM

lol,
nothing new,
if theres a car theere will be a lock key for it,

my friend on g35-37 forums tell me about all the rims being jacked on their forum,
one was in the guys own driveway behind a fence! lol.

TwistAndBurn..Rubber · 09-26-2009, 12:39 PM

that's dedication to thievery they ride around with a floor jack... and then left it.

*hOngsterr* · 09-26-2009, 12:49 PM

I LUV MY S13 · 09-26-2009, 12:55 PM
