Default a stupid wheel thief

I've just moved house and had to go back to my old house today
to finish tidying up and grab the last of my things from the shed
and under the back veranda.
anyway i go to grab my old stock rims&tyres from around the back
and some low life scumbag maggot has stolen them
i never knew there was a market for crappy stock rims with half bald retreads. :

what gets me though was sitting infront of the rims was a perfect LSD diff
in the shed was my lawnmower and my 7x5 trailer was in the driveway
were never touched.

i hope the retreads let loose at 100k's on a corner of an oncoming cliff.

end rant.

It was probably somebody in the area that knew you were moving out.

i have a feeling it was some who saw you move out, then went round the back to see if you had left anything and just nicked the rims, probably because its the only thing he can carry, even though it would look a bit obvious running down the street with 4 wheels....

not really ****ed more rather laughing it off i would of most likely stuck them in the shed to gather dust so in a way they did me a favor.

they could of pinched the trailer threw me lawnmower in and the diff & wheels
and driven off into the sunset.

they must of been retarded to only steal retreads worth about $50 and not a $1000 trailer,$150 mower,$300 diff.

People steal the strangest things sometimes. Like somthing that happened to me. I was moving about 3 years ago and had an entertainment center that was too large to fit in my new apartment. I put it on the street in front of my place for a week with a sign that said FREE. I didn't get 1 bit of intrest the entire week. So finally I decided to try somthing I had heard about and put a sign on it that said 25$ or best offer. 2 days later I came home from work and lo and behold it was gone. WTF? lol I didn't think it would really work but apparently if somone thinks somthing is worth money they will steal it.

Yes, that is because if people see it's free they probably think it is junk. If you expect money for it, then obvioulsy it's not junk!

Same thing happened to a bloke here in Moree but it was a fridge not a entertainment centre
