stolen wheels/tires

hey all - someone stole my street tires from my apt garage last weekend and I thought I'd post here in case anyone sees them. 18" Turbo Twist Hollow Spoke, gloss black powder coat w/ Michelin PS2's off of a 996TT. Turbo crest center caps.

Please PM me if you see them.

Thx,
Tim

Don't feel too bad - my old Ruf 3400S conversion, not only did I have all four wheels stolen, but they broke in to four other cars to steel their jacks to prop my car up, then dropped it on another stolen spare (see pic) and then... here's the kicker, they stole another car to carry the wheels out!!!

All this happened in Vancouver Canada (where we all brag how crime free we all are :P)

...Never found the wheels.

It's Canada, they are polite. Stealing the whole car would have been rude

One would think! Then again if they carried doctorate degrees, they wouldn't be steeling wheels :P

Thanks for everyone's comments. Yes, it does suck that someone would steal these, but what the heck. At least they didn't get the track set. No luck locating the missing wheels/tires. Still checking craigslist and ebay but don't have much hope in finding them. Some good news to report though: fantastic response by USAA insurance! +1 to them for stepping up
