So this happened to me after one week of ownership.

if you put in an insurance claim..make sure the appraiser checks the underside of the rocker panels for dents from the truck sitting on those blocks. Will need body work possibly. Sorry to see this.

Thanks, i am taking it in for an inspection once the wheels and tires arrive.
 
Don't pass the bill onto your insurance (and yourself and other underwriters). Instead, sue the perp. Take him to civil court and perform asset seizure. Anything he ever gets...becomes yours.

Give him something to remember.

Couldn’t agree more. Liberal do-nothing mayor Turner and city council are worthless and crime at a an all time high.
These idiots are more worried about having trans bathrooms in public buildings instead of allocating more money for LE agencies to fight crime. Sheesh....

To the OP. This stinks man. Good opportunity to get nicer wheels (and locks).

Cheers,

I have to agree with you, bathrooms were a big priority in my civil service job and somewhat of a head ache and other body parts.

Bathroom Rights - Transgender and Gender non-conforming Discrimination | NYC Human Rights

www1.nyc.gov

Because safe and equal bathroom access is a fundamental human right, as well as the law of the land in New York City, the NYC Commission on Human Rights has launched the nation's first government-led citywide ad campaign affirming every New Yorkers' right to use the bathroom consistent with their gender identity, regardless of their gender assigned at birth. It has been illegal in New York City to discriminate against an individual on the basis of gender identity or expression, including denying access to bathrooms, since 2002.
 
That would make me extremely upset. Sorry dude. Glad I don't live in the city. Try a dashcam, to make finding the crims faster in the future.

One week after purchasing the Laramie, I walk out to our 4th floor parking deck to head to the driving range and to my complete surprise, some low life idiot got me for all four of my wheels. And before you ask, no, the truck did not come with wheel locks as that was something I was going to purchase, but after a week I had not got around to it and to be honest, parking in a secure garage on the 4th level, it never crossed my mind a criminal would go through all that to get to this. I was wrong!

Good thing is the police caught the suspect, bad new is they didn’t recover my wheels.

New OEM wheels are on order with a set of Continental Terrain Contact A/T’s. Will be installing either Bilstein leveling struts up front, or the Mopar 2” lift.

PS, they didn’t touch my Alfa sitting right next to it or my wife’s all too sexy 2013 Nissan Rogue.

Hard lesson to learn, put locks on your wheels ASAP!

* Mod, if I’m in the wrong forum, please feel free to move. Thanks and sorry

Must be in Atlanta.
 
People tend to think they don’t steal factory rims anymore and they absolutely do. Quick easy money and since they are mass produced it’s hard to find them once they are stolen. I have advanced wheel locks, and my aftermarket alarm with shock and tilt sensor with my train horn tied into it. If they beat all of that without me knowing then good job.

They won't make quick and easy money if they steal the OEM Bighorn wheels, over saturated market. Well maybe they could sell the tires. And the damn wheels weigh almost 75 lbs. a piece and are about 32" high. Wondering if his theft was a special order for the 22s.

sorry, but that's insane. You PAY every month for insurance, and then you tell him not to use it? there is a deductible on a Comp claim, but no points, no faults, no surcharges. A full set of tires and wheels is crazy money too. Don't forget, you need 16 lug nuts, 4 TPMS sensors, on top of 4 wheels & tires. I've written a few of these claims in my day and they range from $2000 for average cars, to $4-$5K for trucks and sports cars. Taking him to court instead costs you a days pay, and guarantees you nothing in return.

What are you driving Marine, a Civic? Last time I checked there were 24 lug nuts on my Ram. ;)

Otherwise I couldn't agree more with this.

Sure, insurance is there. But so is civil court. The OP was robbed. The thief was arrested. Sue his ***.

A set of these an electric impact gun and any wheel lock is gone in seconds.

Not true, that won't work on Advanced Wheel Locks or Gorilla Guards (what I have)
