they broke into your car too
About a month ago the same thing happend to me in Houston. Remember just like me, you'll get over it, and take necessary precautions from now on. I even moved, it was stupid to have been where I was in the first place.

Ok, I'm back in control and won't do this again..

bad spots...
Well one more good thing about Green Bay, no organized car theft rings.
I have read stories about some young guys and their convertibles that "park in a back alley". I was like "Are you nuts?" any fool with a knife can get into a convertible, I don't even like parking in any ramp. But not much is going to help with professionals.

I really wouldn't say thats a "pro" job.. If the dumbass knew what he was doing he would pulled out the window.. and taken the car with even scratching it. But thats just my take..
Bunch of bastages man.. hope you find out who did it..

There you are helping out people, being a good samartian, and somebody out there does not appreciate it!
Well one hand DOESN'T WASH THE OTHER! I doubt they are coming to LI, NY...but if they do, I'll be on the lookout...Sorry for your loss!

That makes me so mad I can't stand it, same bastards walking down the streets of NO. with plasmas. But its the MEDIA that portrays them so bad, their not that bad. And Houston's murder rate has more than doubled since last year.
I will definitely keep an eye out for them, check some local pawn shops too.

Thats a terrible site to see. Your story scares me enough to have second thoughts in putting my HRE'S on. You just dont mess with another mans vehicle.

dood!!! i feel your fuggin pain!!! i had my rims taken and my 6 dropped on blocks. that feeling in my stomach was AWFUL!!!! mine were just stock, so i cant imagine what you must have felt like. you have one of the best looking C6s on this forum, and i hope you can get your rims back!!!! *fingers crossed*
add: this might help you feel a little better. a local dealer quoted my insurance company $6700 to replace my rims, tires, and sensors. i suspect that kind of check would go a long way in helping you get your set-up back. good luck mang!!!

I had this happen to my C3...at least the bastards had enough class to leave the car on cinder blocks and not on the ground. It turned out to be a ring of 16 yr old kids. They had a lot of rims and tires where they caught them...however they were not adults and first timers so they had their hands slap...hell it is probably them that took yours!

Sorry to hear that your rims were snached.
I know how you feel, in the early part of 1990, some baste*ed broke my drivers window on my C4 and used the jack stored in the compartment behind the passenger seat to jack up my car and rip off my rims.
I wish the car fell on him!
Keep the fight up with your insurance company (friggen baste*eds too) and you will get your rims!
Been there, done that and have the t-shirt. I fought like a Mother fu*ker and they paid for my rims.
Keep up the fight dude....it for this reason you pay for insurance.
