Stolen Wheels
UPDATE:
back from the dead... just thought I share the story...
so I ended up finding the guy, I found a post on CL selling my wheels. Grab the pictures and looked at the geo mark and found it coming out of Fresno, but nothing could be done. I've contacted 5 different police dept/detectives. Since these do not have serial #s, even though I have pictures of all the chips and scratches, they will not do anything.
Did some more digging and found this guy is stealing wheels in the bay area and selling them out of Fresno. I found posts of him selling wheels for 6 or 7 different manufactures and bunch of different radios, seats, etc. He was also trying to sell a g35 wing that was stolen from the forum mod's buddy. Chances are if you had something stolen off an import, he's probably involved. (Fremont PD has been looking for him for 3 years)
I ended up finding a guy who had his Miata hardtop stolen and being sold by the same guy. We tried to set something up but he skipped town.
With some digging around and help from friends, I ended up finding alot of information about this guy...If anyone find something they lost being sold by shyger85@yahoo.com, I have his :
DOB, SSN, Cell phone #, car type, where it's registered, license plate #, his phone's registered address, his wife's name, and his previous addressess.
this is the guy..

Hey guys,
I had my wheels stolen at some point between 1am and 6am on may 30th. in union city at my complex.
please keep an eye out for them. As far as I know these 1 of 3 or 4 sets that were imported into the US.
Specs : Volk Racing TE37 5x100 17x8 +38 in Gunmetal. 1 wheel have part of the VOLK sticker chipped off. another wheel has part of the Racing sticker chipped off.
tires : Nitto Neo Gen 225/45/17 - 2 of the tires have wear on the outer edge of the tire.
thank you,
Tommy

Post this everywhere, should be almost impossible to sell online if there's enough word out since they are so rare
Definitely will keep an eye out
What lugnuts were you using? Any locks?

Im sorry to hear that! I know the feeling sir. Had a set of fno1rc stolen from me too. I would suggest posting it on the scion forums, the vw forums, the corolla and celica forums since I know they use 5x100 bolt patters. Hope you recover it soon my friend. BTW, SiK ride. I always seen your ride on the subiesites that I frequent, and on the old Gruppe-S website
yeah g'luck, bud
