This E65 owner in Helsinki must have been pretty pissed off one morning this week.

Some asshole had stolen his very special wheels.

In this newspaper article he suspected that someone had followed him
and then waited for the night...
The car was in front of his house.

See, this is why your mom always told you to keep your brakes and rotors clean. You never know when they'll be exposed.

Oh yes.

These persons should have stolen the trunk spoiler also.

Actually you can be more right than you know.
I have read in the news that a lot of strange thefts has occurred in the depression.
Cars and factories are burning now more than ever.
