Default Dozens of GM Rims stolen from Dealership in Rockwall

I hope they catch these guys. I wonder how many people it took to take that many tires and leave them all on Blocks, Thats over 120 Rims & Tires. Hell each set of those rims sell for easy $1500 to $2000

Here is the link to the story http://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpp/news/Doz...#ixzz1T6s9tcSR

Most dealerships near me have security on the premises. I'm guessing they either don't have security, or it was an inside job.

Damn.... I would have love to know how long it took to get 120 rims off and loaded.

Plus what did they load all the rims in a damn 18 wheeler?

I was out that way just now and drove into the lot...there were Enclaves, 3/4-tons, 1/2-tons, a dually, Yukons and Yukon Denalis all on small pre-cut wooden blocks. It took on helluva big truck or a bunch of small trucks to carry 140 wheel/tire combos away!

Thieves. They are stupid.


They never think past the point of stealing an object. Their get-a-way will be short lived.

I heard that each block was specifically cut for each model. Obviously a lot of planning went into it.

Either an inside job, or some pretty smart/well organized thieves. I don't understand how nobody saw it going on.

It looked well planned, that's a big heist, they had to have had people on the inside and a lot of details worked out, also took man power and practice. Imagine if they put that kind of work in to doing good.
