Don't corvette frames bend if the door is opened when the car is like that, or is it just the older vettes. I'd put it on jack stands or spare tires asap.
Who steals vette wheels anyway?

The wheels I had on them were the optional forged/polished wheels which aren't cheap.

Sorry, reminds me of my Yukon getting its wheels stolen back in March of this year. My C6 is in the garage.
My insurance company paid for the dealership to come out, put temporary wheels on my Yukon and flat bed it to the dealership. They should do at least that much for your C6. Leave it sitting there on blocks or even jack stands is dangerous and it needs to be picked up by the dealership and taken in.
Sorry, that pisses me off. I would shoot someone here in Texas if I saw them doing that.

Just like that GT-R for a few weeks ago.
Sorry, man. This is what beater cars are for. Still, you SHOULD be allowed to drive and park your car anywhere you want, but sadly utopian ideals don't necessarily align with the world in which we live. I know when I lived in an apartment complex similar to your friends, I used to worry about my S2000 all the time.
Good luck with insurance etc.

Thanks for the kind words and advices.
I should definitely get it on jack stands or have it professionally towed to a local bodyshop/dealer.
This would be the first thing I'll do after getting an estimate from the insurance personnel.
I didn't think wheel locks were necessary thinking that there wouldn't be much demand for a set of stock wheels.
Obviously, I was wrong. But then again, if they really wanted it, they would've taken it anyway.
I don't think those wheel locks stand a chance against well organized thieves like QUIKAG said.
At this point, I just hope there aren't much underbody damage and hopefully I can just get another set of wheels and be done with it.
