sorry had to) then I'm sure he could rectify his own error and buy the wheels from you.

I'm sure everyone's heard of the stories where neighbors failed to lift a finger while a woman was being stabbed to death (plug it into a search engine...there are numerous accounts of that happening). Many people wouldn't lift a finger to help someone. Hell...I wouldn't be surprised if one of his uncle's neighbors saw someone take the wheels and didn't say a word about it.

If they were chrome then he could have gotten some cash for them. If they were painted then you pretty much can't give them away, unless they had decent tires on them. They're like the LS1 version of "salad shooters" in that respect.

This is what I was wondering I had them for sale for $200 but since they were stolen if I filed an insurance claim wouldn't they do replacement value of the wheels.

My question was about if there is anything that can be done about it like if it was worth putting a claim under his homeowners insurance or not, not the fact that they were chained to a tree in the front yard. Like stated earlier they were in an upper class neighborhood shouldn't have been done the way it was but I had no knowledge of this being done. My uncle has since given me some money, not what I was hoping but some. My question was whether or not I would get more money to replace them than the price I was selling them for and if I would make out after paying the deductible. I still don't see that as a stupid question if I could make a profit by submitting it I would. People post useless **** on here all the time if you don't have useful information then **** off everyone is so quick to criticize another person on this site but then when they want to know something themselves look for everyone else on this site for help.

If he wasn't a cheap bastard, he'd take care of this for you. Seriously...I have to wonder about a family member that wouldn't try to make things right after doing something that stupid.
That's just being greedy, in my opinion. If you want to call an insurance company and with a straight face tell them that you want full replacement cost for the 10 year old wheels/tires that you were trying to sell for $200...be my guest. Claims like this would be why insurance premiums go up for the average person.
Would it make sense for him to file a claim against his homeowners insurance? No. That wouldn't look good for him if he ever had to file a REAL claim for damage to his home.

The reason I said homeowners is that I have been told that it is the only way a claim can be made since they were not on my car. As for the claim I would not expect retail value because of the fact that they were 10 years old but I do feel that I should be either given what I was asking for when my uncle offered to sell them or he should put a claim on his homeowners insurance. It was his **** up I just feel like I should be getting more that what he offered me for them. Like I said earlier they would be wheels I could use for something else if I had them here.

His deductible will be higher than what the wheels are worth. And he didn't even own them in the first place so it's probably a moot point. His liability coverage may cover it if he is found to be negligent, resulting in your loss, but it's not a good claim and probably not worth dealing with. Your homeowner/renter policy probably would cover 10% of the personal property limit for property stored off the premises but again, not worth filing a theft claim over.
If you had phrased your question as one concerning insurance (you did not initially do so) then this thread would have probably become less stupid.

I stumbled on this thread, friggin hilarious! Thanks OP.
I had a neighbor put a couch in his yard with a sign that read "Free" Nobody wanted it. So after a week he put a sign on the couch that read "For Sale $20". Someone stole it that night..
