Ouch! Sorry to hear about that. I guess if you need some stock replacements, holler!
I wouldn't condone insurance fraud.

Welcome to the club. Except I think someone mentioned to doesn't happen in north texas, it happened to me in Dfw. Got insurance to get me ck916's though. Priority number 1 when I get my new garage cleaned is to put vin and ph number inside wheels. I am also waiting on more wheel locks. Considering getting the rimlox when I get more established with the new job.

Yea man that sucks...it happens out here in south FLA a lot. Just hope you had them insured. Always happens with stocks.They are worth much more than aftermarket which is why they go after them.
Do you plan on keeping this vehicle forever? No way would I want my phone number on the wheels.
years ago when 17's were like 24's here in ny allot of people wrote their phone numbers and a reward note to tire installer if he was not working on the right vehicle. There are allot of stories of beatings thrown behind the success of this simple method. Back then the guy who had your wheels was probably the guy who stole them. Now it's the guy who brought them on eBay.
Now days there is a pay web site that will sell all your information. Cell numbers are not private anymore.

I think the yetti has a nice set of ck 375 for sale with tires.

So when you sell your vehicle someone else is driving around with your info on the wheels, are they supposed to scratch it out to put their info on there? No thanks I would move somewhere with less crime first.
Yeah. Unfortunately you cant prevent it, and thats why we have insurance. I dont need any more personal information out there than already is. Maybe a VIN number, but still, 9 out of 10 places wont report it anyway so whats the use.
When you do suspect someone has your wheels, hard for them to disprove that they aren't yours if your vin is in em.
I don't think I'm going to confront the kind of person who would steal them in the first place. I'm all about the 2nd amendment, but I wont push to get my wheels back when most likely they're thugs.
And the chances of actually getting them back - slim to none.

I've found stolen items on craigslist and couldn't prove they were mine. You can find them it's not hard just gotta have evidence

I meant north tx like red river area. Dfw is big and sketchy I stayed by the Dallas convention center for a couple days and at night it gets sketchy. Not surprised since I see a lot of theft recoveries from copart down there

Had a set of wheels stolen from my wife's 94' accord once. Found them three days later. Arrest made and we got restitution for the rest of the car as well from the defendant.
Not saying you would just randomly go around accusing people that they stole your wheels, but if there was a mark on the tire, curb rash, or something noticeable and you see them on Craigslist the day after you got them jacked, it makes it alot easier to have the police verify the vin etched on the inner barrel. Otherwise it's your word versus theirs and you're SOL.

I do plan on keeping this thing till it dies, hopefully a long time. Maybe not a number but the vin for sure. I did move to a safer area just last week. Hopefully no more problems, but will still do the steps to protect and hopefully prevent.
Garland can be pretty sketchy too.

How did it turn out? Insurance give you any hassle?
