Thief;  "Hey!, what are to cops doing? I'm just in autozone to buy some parts, I didn't do anything, you got the wrong guy, I wasn't the one on the motorcycle!"

Cops;  "we didn't say anything about a motorcycle? How did you know we where looking for a guy that stole a motorcycle?"

Thief;   AH!, Lucky guess?

Very efficient.  Maybe they have a future on a NASCAR pit crew.

Sucks that it happened to you.  Were they aftermarket wheels?  Any lock lugs?

As a teen I had "friends" who stole a VW engine out of a baja bug.  I think it only took them 15-20 minutes at night.  Imagine coming out to your car and when it didn't start thinking it was a dead battery or something...  :shok:

I went out to the driveway one morning, and found that I was the new owner of a brand-new instruction booklet for a Sears floor jack.  Now I do not have one of those, but one big 4x4 truck tire was planted firmly in the middle of the book.  When I rolled my truck forward off the book, the tire made strong tread impressions, so I know that I did not park a wheel on that book, coming in from the night before.  Nothing was missing, but I had just put four nice BFG All-Terrain T/A tires on my truck.  The aluminum wheels were nothing special, but it still would have been a US$1000 theft, for the wheels and tires.  I have motion-detector floodlights mounted high on the house, and I figure that the thieves must have triggered the floodlights by walking around in the driveway.  These bright floodlights probably scared off the thieves.  I would guess that they lowered the wheel fast, took their floor jack and escaped, but not with their instruction book.  I went out and bought four locking lug nuts for my new tires.  In this town, ripping off cars can give a guy a bad case of lead poisoning, so maybe everybody learned a bit, that time.    :biggrin:

Driving in any time at night, it's really nice to have the whole place light up to greet you.  Motion-detector floodlights are fairly cheap now, and easy to install.

Cheers,

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

I had a classmate in tech school, he needed a new driveshaft, so he and his buddies went out and stole several, imagine firing your car up and putting it in gear, mashing the gas and nothing.....
