Default Help me find the guy who stole my Volks

Hey guys, I reported my car stolen on 09/20/10.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=817748

Well I caught a break and one of my fellow car club members called me to let me know that he found my GT-P wheels down to the exact sized Bridgestone tires.

I know some of you may have access to information that could help me out immensely, So please PM me with anything you can provide. I also believe the guy who has the wheels most likely bought them without knowing they were stolen. There was a baby seat in the car so I'd likely try to negotiate something where I get my wheels back without having to have this guy placed in a difficult position.

Even with a baby seat, he could still be the thief. Hope someone can help you locate the owner of that car.

How do you know those are your wheels? Just because they are the same type and have the same tires? Seems suspect.

The officer that looked at the wheels says his personal opinion, "Those wheels are definitely yours'" but that he's helpless. I shall meet with an investigator sometime this week.

CalBear07:
There were quite a few ways that I was able to identify the wheels. I just can't post how until the case is resolved.

Man, I'd be so pissed. I hope you get them back one way or another. Just don't get yourself into trouble in the process. Good luck and keep us updated!

If you bought the tires from a reputable dealer, they have tire "date codes" on the inside you can use (sort of like a VIN number).

however to do that you would have to get a court order....

Plus if he unknowingly bought stolen merchandise I don't think he can be cited so unless you are willing to pay him what he paid, don't expect him to give you the wheels/tires back. (just a guess as I'm definitely no expert).
