Thief alert!!!! Rader rims stolen!!!

« on: August 02, 2009, 07:20:21 PM »
I've been stole on!!! :evil:  Last night while I was out someone broke into my garage.Whoever did it knew my garage. They bypassed all the junk and went straight to my stash spot for the good parts. The police dont seemed concerned about it but I am.

The major Item missing is a set of OG SEARS RADERS. I want them back. They are stamped SS on the inside near the center. They are kinda crusty I got them on friday so I didnt have a chance to clean them up or get pics.
Also missing are some t34 parts wich to anyone but me around here are useless.

I am almost certain the thief is local  younger guy judging from the things taken and the circumstances of how it was done. If you are this thief return what you took and nothing more will be said. If I find you with my stuff your done.

For the rest of us honest folks please keep an eye out if you hear anything please call me . My number is in my profile.I'll pay a  reward  for the information leading to me finding this lil prick.

I hate thiefs!   :evil:   The good news is that most thiefs aren't too bright and eventually give themselves away.  If I see or hear of any Type 34 parts or Raders for sale, I'll let you know.

The person or persons who did it aren't to smart at all. They left alot of clues behind. I think I know who did it, hopefully the police will figure it all out and pay him a visit. This is just another reason why I'm getting out of the used parts business. I really am going to have to start being a jerk about who I let come by my house in the future.People talk and sooner or later some turd finds out where you live and then.............It's a sad lil world.

Holy Crap,man... :shock:

I  have to agree, i can't stand a thief.... Hope you have luck recovering your stuff.  This is a damned shame, but this kind of crap seems to happen even more with tough economic times like this. :evil:

Wow that's retarded, I hate a thief. I really hate that this stuff is happening in the VW scene, especially around here. What sucks one more is that people like that give people like me a bad name (assuming that it is a younger guy). I'll keep my ear to the ground, if you want PM me who you think it was and I can try snooping around.   :twisted:

ok, that royally sucks.... If those are the wheels I am thinking of, I was just telling Russ Saturday that I'd love to have a set of those for my bus. When/if you ever get them back, I'd be interested in them if they are for sale. And to whoever stole them, I hope you never plan on popping up around town with them on your car...

major bullsh*t!!!!!  what a punk.  why steal old vw stuff..unless you are into that...there arent alot of us in chatt.  You will find him.   I vote for the old "eye for an eye" punishment.  Cut off his hands.....  I have had this happen a few times....was stereo related though.  ask zen how much fun it was putting my beetle back together.  They really messed mine up.    Tie him up if you catch him and give me a call.  :evil:

I think they came to steal a beam and found the rims and figured why not.
I may or may not find the guy responsible or get the stuff back. If I catch him may god have mercy, because I will not.

Heck, I've got a beam in my driveway I can't give away! But I don't want this dude around either. I don't know what the wheels look like. Don't know what to look for, but I would give a discription to the pawn shops.

Here is a photo of some Sears Raders.  They should be easy to spot as there aint a whole lot of vehicles they fit....wide five.  It just doesnt seem like a bright thing to do..steal items that have a limited application..espicially when the local group of folks (potential buyiers of said stolen stuff) are as tight as they are here in Chattanooga. ](*,)   It's not like they fit a Honda or Toyota (the green mini-vans of the car world) they should stick out when they get bolted on.  I hope they turn up and you catch em!

Yep they are 2 piece Sears raders just like the ones in the pic. On the back right next to where it says rader they are stamped with my initials SS. I figured to get rid of the stamping they would have to grind off the Rader casting with it. I have a sick feeling that these rims are on a slow boat to europe by now. :(

If you are wanting to give that beam away, I'll take it.  I'm afraid that I might not like my 6" narrowed beam.  If it hasn't been spoken for, let me know.
