!!! Stolen galaxy wheel !!!
Just a word of warning to all on the forum.
I have just had my storage robbed! I suspect it was two fella's from the Southampton area whom I sold my BMW 535 to on Friday. I also offered them a set of BBS wheels of BMW fitment. This set of 17 inch BBS RX's and my spare galaxy have now gone missing so I suspect they doubled back and swiped them after I left. It seems to much of a coincidence that a set of wheels which have literally been standing there for years disappeared a few days after being shown to some one and nothing else has been touched. I can't prove it was them but seems likely. Anyway they also took my spare Galaxy! Its pretty scruffy and the Tyre is knackered so once they figure out it won't fit on a BMW it will probably get tossed out :-( If how ever, anyone happens to see one 16 inch Volvo alloy/galaxy for sale in the Southampton area please let me know. |
940 tdi auto 1995
sorry to here that steve
we had a chat in all the rain at last years meeting . |
sadly I would imagine it was just taken for scrap... about a tenners worth. The last Sports I bought to break had no spare so I asked what happened to it, and suprise suprise the idiot had let one of his members of staff take the tyre off and put it in the scrap.... luckily for me I fished it out!

sorry to hear that i too a few years ago sold a bouncy castle from my lock up and went back a few days later and my gererater and tools were all stolen trust no one any more

That's really bad to hear that mate. Have you informed the police that you believe it was that car/people?
Might give them a lead atleast. |
Me too (sort of)
Yes, I had some bar stewards nick an M46, an M90, and five Pholus - it's the thought of them being melted down that REALLY rankles.

Strangely the guy who bought the 535 rang me today to ask me if I was interested in buying it back as apparently he can't get it insured due to his age. (not so crazy as I had originally purchased it as a donor to do a manual gear box conversion into my E24 635) I can't make up my mind now if I think it was him or his mate or not at all. If it was either of them and he knows thats some balls to call me. I offered him back about £100 less than he gave me for it claiming the rear crank seal has gone on my 940 which is actually true (no, i"m not having a good week) and I couldn't afford any more. He said no so I upped my offer to £60 less. Over £60 he wouldn't except the deal. Not sure if he's really stubborn or if he feels giving away in ground might make him look guilty. Who knows, I'm gonna be thinking about it for weeks. |
a lot of co instances
seems very strange for them to ring you back , if it was me i would suspect the buyer of ringing to see if you would say anything about the wheels.
but with no prove all you can do is be more careful in future and don't make a bad situation worse by openly blaming anyone. :car: |
This is when you buy the car back and it comes with the wheels that were stolen fitted to it lol
|
even worse
