they must have had a reason to leave their tools and the other wheel there.. like thinking someone saw them and quick leaving or something. have you asked your neighbors if they know anything? maybe also check any audi junkyards around. what tires are on them?

To make it legal he would need to park the car in his house and hope they come in the house to get that 4th wheel.


Time to put 5 different type of wheel locks on that wheel and vid them trying to take it off.

In MA, he would still have a very hard time getting off if he pulled a gun in that case. This state HATES guns. If not for the amendment, they would DEFINITELY be illegal here. Friggin liberals.

I do want to ask for my own edification however; did you have your car alarm activated? Did the ignition lockout engage due to their violating the anti-level unit's parameters (don't know the particulars of your car, but I know mine has these features).

car was locked, alarm activated. thats why they didnt just go in the trunk and take the full size s4 spare as the fourth wheel.

wow that is truly messed up. i've had nightmares of my wheels getting jacked even though they are POS. and those cops are definitely not helping the situation. that's vandalism and theft. you should go check around the place you bought your car from if it was a private deal, that's the first place i'd snoop around

I'm sorry to hear about the situation. I'm hoping it could come to a good resolution.

At least you have an excuse to go aftermarket wheels now!

Keep us updated!
