What kind of rims were they to risk this out in the open like that?

Are upgraded wheels such as rims considered as status symbols?

Absolutely. I've seen $20,000 rims on a $2,000 car.

Irvine is comatose by 10PM. Not like LA. Too easy to jack rims.

On a car like that with a floor jack and bricks, I can remove all four wheels in under 8 minutes. 1 minute per wheel, 30 seconds to carefully lower on each brick.

Also if anyone comes over, you just pretend like it's your car.

Quoting for when the IPD are looking for suspects.

I'm not completely sure, but I'm like 90% sure that car is a Honda accord
You think they were boosting stock rims?

So I guess this means the Irvine Springs / Streamwood condos are in BTB's Nextdoor EW proximity "nearby neighborhoods" map.

Did they leave the catalytic converter? That was a chronic problem at my work parking lot.

I also hear unused airbags are popular to steal.

Some unlucky person in Irvine woke up to this:

Which neighbor is this?

Catalytic Converter theft! Wow... Were they sawed off? That's about the fastest way I can think of grabbing one. Was this in OC or LA? Parking Lot or Structure?

Security would catch guys dressed like ninjas crawling on the ground in our open parking lots in the IE. They mainly targeted trucks and SUVs since it was easier to access the exhaust system.

Another thing I heard, is that they steal the car for car replacement parts.
