Definitely organized, definitely had help from the inside. This ain't a local yocal bunch of country bumpkins. The Feds need to be involved. Very good chance the crew who pulled this off are a part of a larger National syndicate.

You don't steel 48 wheels to get your crack fix on the corner. You're shipping to Maine, Florida, California, Hawaii, Alaska, and all points in between.

wow... lucky for that dealer they can call me up right now, I have enough wheels to make the majority look like Z/28 or 1Le
I even have the M228 for the Silverado trucks.

wait..... that makes me look guilty right?

"He noted that the thieves also defeated the light system, knocking out the large bright lights that are typically on.

Surveillance video shows a large box truck arriving at 1:22 a.m., but because it was so dark, police aren’t sure how many suspects were involved."


Yeah, this was a planned event with some pros doing that kind of thing or as stated earlier, inside gig. They had to be cased first.
Newer security cameras have night vision capability

That's a pretty horrible thing to do to anyone.

Kinda reminds me of that old Kurt Russell movie "Used Cars", where two competing dealerships do dirty tricks against each other.

Nice, now I have an idea for a Friday night movie. I was looking for a good 80's flick.

But back on topic, to those who say it's an organized and inside job: I definitely agree. I'm sure whoever is leading the investigation is questioning the employees at this point because it's the first obvious place to check.

Well now when the August sales thread comes out we can state that the Camaros are not leaving the lots because people are stealing the wheels

You can literally say Camaros are just "sitting" on the lots

Thank you, I'll be here all night.

Don't forget to tip your waitresses. It's fun to watch them fall over.

That is where I got mine, on the busiest road in our town, but the lot where these were stored is in the back. Seriously doubt the owner was involved, he owns a couple dealerships here in East Texas. GM has also been around here for a long time. Going to have to look lower down the chain.

Damn, I already sold my stock wheels, I could have gotten more from them I bet.
