Wheels stolen - please read

[rumplestiltskin]

I doubt they will appear on Ebay, that requires a certain level of computer literacy & is a little too "public" - days on display while the auction finishes etc etc.
Chances are they will be flogged down the pub by now to someone who will try to fit them onto his escort, realise they wont fit & then offload them himself.

I would imagine they will stay in the area as the thieves are probably local & have probably seen you driving around in an expensive car & followed you home at some point knowing that you have got something tasty in the garage.

I have started marking any nickable items with an infrared pen, wont stop em being stolen (the alarms & the dog help stop that happening) but could help recover them/prove they are yours.

Shame we live in a society where thats needed.

My brother in law had his race prepped CRX track car stolen. Several weeks later the Carbon Fibre bonnet appeared on e-bay. He knew it was his, because there are only 5 in the country, which he and his CRX mates had made. Arranged to meet the seller, and took the police with him. They arrested the thieving little b@stard. Unfortunately, all he got back was the bonnet, roll cage, and a few other bits.

There's a set for sale on EBay right now. They look legit but you never know

Good luck trying to track them down

OOps should have read his post a bit more closely.

Question is, what should be done with the persons when they are found?
