may just wanna accept your losses this time man.. breaking out some dude's windows and junk will just get you in unneeded trouble. for your new car invest in better security stuff, and maybe you won't have to go window bustin..

busting out the windows isnt gonna magically make the wheels fall off though. by the time you jack up the car to take them off and all that jive you'll get caught

A small investment and 3 friends can help you out here.

This is what I would do....get 3 friends and an SUV...something where all 4 ppl and 4 wheels can fit, and fit fast.

Invest in 4 of those small floor jacks, they are like 20 bucks each. You'd also need 4 tire irons. Find the car, each friend loosens the wheels, jacks up the car, remove the wheels and leave the car on the floor jacks.

If you have 3 fast friends Im sure this can be done easily in less than 2 minutes.

isn't it possible that the thief that stole your car had sold the wheels to someone else? stolen parts fly around forums and enthusiasts like crazy.
i bet you'd feel pretty shitty messin up someones car because you THINK they stole your ****

dont forget to wipe your prints off the jacks! or just uhaul the car away!

but best way would be to find out where he got the parts in the first place, if he says i found them or it came with the car, then you will know

***This write up is merely recreational! Im not instructing you to do anything. If you get caught, its your ***!!

Now, with that being said: You should've sat in your car and waited for him to leave, them followed him home. At any rate, he should return to the place you originaly saw him eventually, and when he does, then follow him home. If you see him driving around, FOLLOW HIM HOME. If you dont see him in the next week or so. You could go down to your local DMV, and make up a story saying that this guy hit your car, and ran. All you were able to get was his tag number, and you want to contact him to get his insurance information. They should give you his address, or at least his phone number. If all you can get is is phone number, go to the whitepages.com website and do a reverse phone number lookup, it will give you his name, with that you find him in the local phonebook, which WILL HAVE HIS ADDRESS LISTED. VOILA! its that easy.

Assuming you have his address, get acouple friends that you know you can trust, and if it came down to it, would lie to keep your *** outta trouble. Wait until about 4:30, thats about an hour before sunrise, come back and QUIETLY jack up his car, and put it on blocks, you'll need two per side, take the lugs off. If he has wheel locks (considering he bought HOT parts, I doubt hes gonna invest in wheel locks) you can gently hammer a socket on there, probably a 15-18 mill. socket would fit. then remove it with a ratchet. Then put the wheels in your vehichle (obvisouly something they can fit in) and leave!!!

Oh, and I wouldnt wory about fingerprints, the good thing about using cement blocks is that they are very porous, meaning they dont hold fingerprints. And cops dont usually dust for prints unless its a homecide anyways, i mean think about it, did they dust YOUR car for prints when your wheels were stolen? didnt think so.Good luck getting your wheels back bro. For all you know this could be the ****er that stole your wheels. Saying that he bought them, is a perfect alibi.

You should be able to go to the DMV and pay for his address. I know here in Maryland we can do that. Just go there with the tag number, and pay for his address.

wow, your reall smart dude, what if you get caught? that guy and his friends will beat the **** out of you, remember car theives have friends and are rarely by them self.
if im not mistaken 509 is moses lake and its not that small, cops wont do anything over there, unless you have very strong proff that they are yours which i doubt you have theres noithing you can do what so ever.

most locks you can just stick a 17mm on and pop it right off.
