cone

good question. gotta ask yourself if you'd rather have 1.5mm LESS thread bite or 3mm MORE thread bite (assuming either length fits)

How did you solve this? The dealer came with 4 new tires? Did you have to wait a long time.

I hope for you it was covered by insurance

This is parking in my building. No it's still on the jacks.. insurance had to order the rims and tires because the vehicle cannot be moved and tow truck can't fit.

Exact same thing happened to me in Berlin. Well light, private underground garage.

When this happened on my C63s, I had to wait almost a month to get my car towed to the dealer (the thieves left my car on jackstands as well), so they could repair the rocker panels and brakes. Took forever.

Best of luck to you man. When it happened to me, I lost all enthusiasm for my car, just waiting for the next thing to happen. But, I switched to a better, newer garage now. Hopefully shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Mother F! SMH! That is a real bummer. I hope they catch the low life freeloading maggots. Stay safe.

What kind of rims did you have?

[Alan l.]

Seems strange they would leave 4 jacks behind. Also looking at the height of the car they couldn't have removed the wheels from the car at that level so that means they jacked it up higher to remove the wheels then went ahead to lower it down like that? Might as well lower it all the way down and take the jacks with them

With the delay, maybe take solace that everyone in the building and everyone waking by will clearly know that the building has no security processes. That might generate some social pressure for the future.

I ain't buying this story. Looks staged

Oh wow! That sucks! I didn't know that kind of stuff happened there.

It does not look staged...there is no way for them to get the jacks out if they lowered the car all the way down...the car would still be on the jacks. It seems they started to lower the car and then realized it.

They would need some other kind of supports to keep the car lifted in order to retrieve the jacks. An LA fav is cinder blocks - which often crumble under the weight of the car.

They were stupid enough to not think it through. So they had to eat some of their stolen profit.

Sorry this happened.

That's a new idea. My only concern would be the key hole or cylinder corroding from the elements. Still cool idea.
