STOLEN RIMS.
Thread started by REPIN213 at 07.2.09 - 12:36 am

SO TONIGHT I GOT BACK FROM A DOPE BIKE RIDE AND RAN INTO SOME OTHER BIKERS ON WILSHIRE , AND A GUY COMES UP TO ME AND SWEARS UP AND DOWN THAT IM ROLLING ON HIS ONE OF A KIND RIMS.(TO THAT GUY) I BOUGHT THOSE RIMS AT A SOUTH L.A BIKE SHOP THAT I RATHER NOT MENTION BUT WILL TRY AND RETURN THEM AND GET MY CASH BACK. I AT NO TIME KNEW THAT THEY WERE STOLEN.
NOR DO I BELIEVE ITS ACCEPTABLE TO PURCHASE STOLEN GOODS .
AND YOUR RITE TO BE MAD THEY ARE A SWEET PAIR OF RIMS AN I TO WOULD BE PISS THE FUCK OFF IF SOME ONE WOULD HAVE STOLEN THEM FROM ME.

graham,

it may sound harsh but if i had wheels like that, i would NEVER let that shit out of my sight.

maybe it was one of the rare occasions that someone got their shit jacked from inside their house, or maybe they got mugged.

but im guessing that someone had their super expensive roadie locked up outside for a minute too long.

off topic; earlier you were implying that friction shifting is a step up from index shifting but its definitely not, i didnt think it was but i was unsure because of how you were saying youd have to upgrade to friction shifting

no no no.

i had indexed shifting. and since my cassette crapped out and i had to move up to a 7-9 speed, i would be left with friction shifting.

i didnt want to spend 200 bucks to downgrade to friction shifting.

so i resorted to paying 70 bucks and going fixed.

yeah?

The Reverend is right where did you get the rims. From what store.

Heres the deal.

If the guy calls the cops and he can prove that those particular rims are his then they will confiscate them and return them to him (I've seen them do it before).

However that doesnt mean that he can prove that you actually stole them..... so they will most likely write the case up as "recovered Stolen Property" and let you go no ticket no case. (I know because i've seen it happen)

If you go back to the shop and they won't take them back then threaten to call the cops yourself and complain that the shop sold you hot wheels and won't make good.

Chances are they don't want any trouble. You'll get your money back and they guy who is claiming to own them can take it up with the shop.

If the shop does take them back and the real owner shows up chances are they will just give him back his wheels to, once again, avoid the cops.

If we want people to stop stealing our shit then we have to start holding the shops that sell bogus shit accountable.

I know that the local shop by my house (El Maestro) won't buy any used parts from you unless you have the original receipt. Anything less is just shady.

@Everyone

How about instead of accusing the guy of being a thief you just encourage him to settle the thing like an adult.

He may have his reasons (good or not) for not wanting to out the shop on a public forum.

I doubt he would post a thread on MR about it if he really did know they were stolen when he bought them.

Give people a chance to make good and sometimes they will.....

If you know what it feels like to get something stolen from, then give us the name of the shop so we can boycott it and not shop there.

Come on man, you're not fooling anyone and neither is the shop keeper. Selling $1,600 rims for $400 sounds like stolen property to me. If the owner of the shop was legit, they would resell these dope ass popular rims at a price that isn't less than 75% off, unless they were broken to begin with. If you can't see the writing on the wall and neither can that shop keeper, then we're all fucked. You always get what you pay for, always.

that was my friend who confronted you last night, an amazing rider, and all around rad guy. We want the name of that shop. he put a lot of time and effort into that bike, and deserves his shit back. Be a man and tell the truth. You don't want the same shit happening to you or your friends bikes..... If you're gonna just return the rims you might as well return them to the rightful owner. I'm sure we can work something out.

Mr Quick here and I feel the need to chime in on this....

If you did in fact purchase these (stolen) wheels, then you must expose the place where they were purchased. Justice must be served, whether the wheels were locked or not. They were my good friends wheels, and they were STOLEN. You may not have known that you purchased stolen goods, but you must help to find out who committing these rat crimes.

Think about how you would feel if someone took wheels from you. You would want to know who did it. So expose the truth and let everyone know where you purchased them. That way we can ask the store where they got them.

Don't be a douche. The guy whose wheels they belong to is a good guy and has been hosting a solid ride for over a year. He does not deserve to have his stuff jacked.

that is all.

do the right thing.

Why don't you just return the rims and privately send the info of the bike shop to the guy from last night. that way the shop will not be on "blast" and your involvement in this situation will be over.

Once again, Stilline is the voice of reason, most of the rest of you are acting like little fucking babies.

If the op thought that the person who asked him about his wheels was credible, enough when he claimed rightful ownership of his wheels he is right to take it back to shop and force them to dae with it.

At the same time, it is also right to give them the benifit of the doubt, until he hears their story. They could also be victims on some level.

@ KIMS you have a lot of fucking nerve saying the would be victim deserved it if his wheels got jacked.

If you leave you own a bike, you have a chance of getting it stolen, no matter what protective measures have been taken.

People have lost bikes to B&Es, drawn guns, and being attacked by a gangs, even if they don't account for most bike thefts, it is ingorant and self-righteous to assume the alleged victim here was as fault in the theft of his own wheels.

HOMIE: GOOD LUCK GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK. I COMMEND YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING. HOPEFULLY THOSE WHEELS GET BACK TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.

I agree,
You friend should definitely be told where the wheels are being returned., but Reppin213 and your homie should both have a chance to get their money/ goods, before a bunch of other foolios here start making a stink with out knowing the whole story, and potentially make the process more difficult for the both of them.

How are the wheels unique? Is it a custom built?

Getting 1600 wheels for close to half is not unusual , even less if they're used. You bought carbon rims with broken spokes, that's scary. How can you break spokes without affecting the carbon rim? That's probably why you got the rims for cheap, it was in a crash. Or the thief had to cut through the spokes, but who would lock a wheel by the spokes?

well if u read my post

i said, yeah if u had ur stuff stolen out of ur house, garage, etc. yeah, that sucks and that u can't stop something like that. same as getting mugged.


but chances are, the guy/girl probably left that thing outside locked up, not so securely, and got his/her shit jacked.

am i saying that its super rad that he had his stuff stolen? no.

but hey, i think its pretty obvious that nice bikes/wheels whatever are a hot commodity right now and if u have 1600 dollar wheels, u should be to take extra measures in protecting that shit.


at the same time, why do i care about any of this?

someone may or may not have bought a stolen wheel.

this person may or may not go return the wheel.

but from the way it looks, i dont think he's going to post the name of the shop on this forum.

idk why everyone is having such a tantrum over this.

the situation sucks and theres not much u can really do about it other than making sure YOUR stuff does not get stolen.

it should just be a reminder to put extra effort into keeping ur shit safe.

i also believe if you leave a set of 12:16 spoke carbon race wheels to be jacked, you totally deserve it.

At the risk of sounding redundant, the logic in the OP is tragicomically flawed.

Reppin says he feels bad and doesn't support buying stolen goods. Well enough. He plans to take them back to the shop from which he bought them to try and get his money back. Sure, whatever.

But then you won't fess up about what shop it is, even though they're going to get found out anyway if you do take them back (as big of a fabrication as this may be). And you said you sympathized with our friend who you implied was also a victim, like you, in this situation, but you're not going to tell him or anybody else anything, either?

Bottom line, you just shot yourself in the foot and put yourself out on front street. Good luck trying to cover up those tracks.

I would suggest that one of the reason this thread got so bonkers is that you helped start it with such an inflammatory statement.

--------------------------

People are making a lot of assumptions about how and where this guy got the wheels based on their own Surelock Homez invsetigayshun skillz but most of you all are talking out of your asses.

Lets see if this guy takes the wheels back to the unnamed shop and if he communicates with the alleged victim about how he can recover his wheels, before making a bunch of stupid assumptions.

He claims he is doing this very soon, so it's not too much to ask people to chill the fuck out for a few days (instead of spewing a bunch of uninformed bullshit) to see how this plays out.

@REPPIN 213

I appreciate you starting this thread. I am the owner of those wheels who approached you last night. As I mentioned, my bicycle was stolen last November from Pico and Normandie. I believe those are the only wheels like it in LA. Ask any knowledgeable bike parts person, those hubs and rims are an extremely rare combination... hardly anyone even knows about Ambrosios, they came from special order from an importer, and to have them laced to phils I think it is safe to say they are the only set around.

Here is a photo of those wheels being built for me by Tony Z last Fall. (Nevermind the extra fake hand, we were at my friends house who works with costumes)



So listen man, it sounds like you are being legit, I don't see why you would start this thread unless you were trying to make good, and your story lines up with what you told me last night. Please reply to me.. I'm sure we can work out a way for you to get your money back, as you should, and for me to reclaim those wheels. Nevermind whatever other noise is going on in this thread (I didn't even read anything other than your post) nobody else has to be involved.

Thanks man.

all you have to do is post up what shop you purchased them from. are you going to ruin your reputation to save a local shop? doesnt sound too smart. DO IT. YOU WONT.

The so called "sting" went off without a hitch.
I wasn't there but it was all reported here on MR ... you can go find the thread.

The very reason they were recruiting people to help is they they would not have to resort to any chase, violence, or extreme measures.

The "posse" recovered the bike, and let the denying culprits go with a stern warning, as the cops would not of done shit, but if they did the bike with have been spending its time in an evidence room.

But seriously, what is all this about "if you didn't lock your shit up you deserve to get it stolen"? I use a cable to secure my wheels, it's just an added deterent, but it's not 100% secure. Even with u-locks if the person wants it enough they will have it. People get ganked all the time even when they take every precaution, it's just dumb freak luck, why blame the victim?
