Well, last night was a very sad night for someone. I got this from a friend who said this happened at an apartment complex here in town. Can you imagine this feeling? I know this had happened to another Camaro I recalled seeing on here, but it had been awhile.

Guess we should all be careful. I for one am glad I now have the Viper alarm with tilt sensor. Still can't believe that the wheels didn't have locking lugs. I still need to get those just to be another step safer from being vandalized.

Bummer...

If theres one thing I can't stand it's a thief. I feel for the person this happened to.

well at least the car was still there, the whole thing could have been gone, that would have REALLY sucked!!

tjbusa · 07-22-2009, 06:52 AM

Really sucks, thieves are the scum of the earth

What are they going to put them on? Seriously. Who is going to see those wheels and tires on anything other than a Camaro and not know they are stolen. It's just stupid.

Son of a B@#$%!!! We live in a Townhome/apartment complex and this is the exact reason why we are renting a garage for an extra $75 a month (thank goodness they have them) because I would not be able to sleep knowing my baby would be out their fending for herself.

I would cause that person such physical harm that they would eat through a tube routed through their ass!

Everyone keep an eye out for these wheels and tires...Let's make it a rule: NOBODY BUYS A SET OF WHEELS AND TIRES FOR A CAMARO WITHOUT ASKING THE VIN THE WHEELS CAME FROM. NO VIN = Stolen.

What an empty feeling in your stomach that must have been this morning...sorry!

I like the idea of no VIN no sale too...catching thiefs like this is hard though!
