Chevy dealership gets robbed.

[fast86gn]

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this up? A new car dealership down near Houston got hit by thieves. They took 22 set of wheels from the cars on the lot. Camaro's, Silverado's and Vettes etc.

seems like that would be harder to get rid of than a whole car

Probably an inside job.....what thieves would take the time to put stands or blocks of wood under the cars?

It is fairly common in Houston. Most likely inside job. The dealer I formerly worked for would get hit all the time.

Yup, they hit a Kirbyville, TX dealership last year for close to 100 sets of wheels/tires, all put up on blocks...

Well you need to use something to get the jack out. Looks like the wood blocks damaged the Camaro rocker panels. I despise thieves.

Now that's a switch. A stealership getting robbed rather than them robbing their customers.

I agree. Back in '86 I had taken the corvette in for a required check-up, came back that afternoon
and they tell me the tranny was bad! It took over 2 weeks to get the car back with a reman tranny!
I will never trust another dealership again and that is why!

22 sets = 11 Messicans riding w/ new dubs, on their hoopties...........

So they have 8 wheels on their cars?

The same thing has happened here in Crawfordsville Indiana a few times in the past two years. The Dodge/ Chrysler dealership spent an big chunk of change on so high dollar cameras but the Buick/GMC dealership just installed more lighting! They are both on US 231 so easy access in and out. The Buick dealer got hit two or three times. I guess all they managed to do was give the thieves better view of what they were stealing. This has been going on all over the Midwest the last few years.

Yeah,We have the police stealing wheels from dealerships around here!MEMPHRICA

New portable impacts are handy little thing.

These CRACKHEADS around here probably still use FOEWAYS.

Could be......Some of us dummies make deliberate mistakes, so geniuses such as yourself, can look good.
BTW, I edited the math, so you can go back to your proof reading job..

Doubt it was crackheads. They don't do any kind of work. More than likely a sophisticated ring of thieves or like already mentioned, a inside job done by employees of the dealer.

I really don't know what one would do with all the wheels. Who's gonna buy them?
