Melb Car Dealer - Rims Stolen
Hi guys,
I dont work for the company so dont ask any more questions, i'll post what i know but cant answer anything else because i'm only passing on the story ive been told by an employee.
Wednesday night (3rd of May), Kevin Dennis Holden in sunshine had 10 VZ clubsport rims stolen. The thieves cut a side fence and proceded to jack up 5 clubsports and steal the rims from the side of the car that wasn't visible from the main compound.
Only trace left in the morning were 5 clubsports supported by bricks and wheel nuts all over the floor.
Suggest people keep an eye out for cheap rims going on ebay, HSVs are protected by datadot and the cops will be able to find these rims once sold.

doubt it's a setup, if it was an inside job they wouldn't have had to worry about the security guard (who patrols the 2 lots but focuses mainly on the side that isnt on a main road)
The locking nut is a good point, should've thought of that.
Anywho, keep an eye out for some cheap rims guys.

I doubt very much that they will be recovered even with the "data dot" probably already on peoples cars, and although they are not really common rims at the moment in a couple of years they will be.
