As of October 14th 2005, my cousin got his Si wheels stolen off of his 91 black Ef Hatch Si. Took place in Newark, Ca. He walked out of his apartment in the morning and to his car to find it jacked up and the wheels gone. This probably happened in the wee hours of the morning between 1:00 AM - 6:00 AM. The wheels were in mint condition with no center caps and wrapped in Yokohama's. He filed a police report and hes done about all he can. If theres any kind of information anyone has please help out. Thanks.

Heres some pics:

true, it does suck about the wheels...but the jack is what $100 new?

 

nah i think those are the typical cheap ones, i got my craftsman jack for sale for 15 dollars...same one

 

cousin lives right next to a police station too. its funny how cops are never there when we want them to be and vice versa. guess the cousin just has a string of bad luck.

 

http://www.handa-accessories.com/civext00.html here is where you can get new ones...alittle pricey, but you know...

and it includes the center cap

is that suposed to make the trade seem more logical? still not worth getting the wheels jacked and having to go through the trouble of putting the steelies back on.

 

at least they didn't jack his suspension

yeah. no matter what the situation. things can always be worse.

 

im so glad i live were in WV. i NEVER lock my car unless its sitting on a side street at my high school. although one time i found a guy sittin on the the side of my truck and i said "is it alright with you if i take my car to lunch" and then i laughed so he got up and apologized

did he get hurt at all? if not then at least he didnt get held gunpoint or shot or stabbed or anything like that.

 

that hatch in the picture looks almost exactly like mine did and the whole ******* car got stolen right out of my driveway. I would have thanked god if all they took was the wheels.

People will steal anything as long as a price tag can be attached to it

 

Damn that sucks. atleast they didnt leave the car slammed to the floor. that would hav been a real bit**

 

WTF? sneaky *** bastards. And they lef tthe jack too? They probably stole that too. Damn thieves

 

any other suggestions on what to do about this whole situation? or is it best to just let it go and try and forget.

 

atleast they were semi nice and didn't f---k your car up/leave it on the ground

sorry man that really sucks

they couldve been a little nicer and just NOT taken em. maybe left a post-it note asking if they could have them first. then waiting to see what my cousin said.

 

Ya man there is nothing that can be done. Hondas with SI wheels are fairly common, so its gonna be hard to detect a set of SI wheels that are infact yours. At least now u know what measures need to be taken when it comes to the security of the car.
