Stolen mags
« on: August 13, 2011, 08:51:39 AM »
I had a set of 5 trident mags wheels with tyres stolen from my place last night - was my spare set.

Stolen from Auckland NZ,

If every one could please keep an eye/ear open
Am offering a $250 reward for contact info of the theif/s  so can break their knee caps because pay backs are a bitch
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Hey busy, were the wheels for the custom van, or just ones laying around.  Just shows that you have to lock everything up, little bastards will take anything not bolted and welded down. Busy, when you do their kneecaps, give the elbows a workout, that will put mongrels out of commision for a while. Good luck mate. BUGA.

These wheels were bedford stud and were for my other (third) Bedford

They took 5 bedford mags (all with good tyres) but left a HQ steel rim with near new tyre.
I had some other bedford stuff under the stairs but they weren't touched nor were the old truck batteries on the other side of the drive. So is hard to work out if they got them for scrap or for a CF. Probably just took them because they were mags but had no idea what they were off.
Am doing the rounds of tyre shops and scrap dealers on monday and keeping an eye online

Here's a picture of a rim if that helps.



I'll be selling mine hopefully shortly but I think I'll wait till you've found yours. I don't want a knock on my door from someone with a bat.

I have a set in my workshop that were on my van, trust me busy i have never been to NZ, and mine have black paint on them.  ;D ;D ;D You can come to my place with a bat busy, but i only have half a knee left, better bring half a bat.  ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D sorry buddy, this is a serious issue.
 It has reach the point of locking up everything, or loose it unfortunately, we have had this problem b4 with other members and we will unfortunately have it again, sadly.  You are on the right track though busy, what is happening today is that, these mongrels are steeling one day and on ebay the next selling your property. You sound as if you are monitoring the online shops, so good luck, they have only a 50 - 50 chance of getting away with it, better then none at all.
