Retro Ghetto

I was walking down Park Place between Underhill and Vanderbilt in Prospect Heights just now and saw a crowd of people around a car. I of course rubber necked it on my way by and saw a brand new Infiniti SUV up on milkcrates; all four wheels were missing. When I asked the cop what happened he told me someone had stolen the wheels.

Man, I have't seen a car on crates (or bricks) since the 80s! Retro Ghetto!

Unfreaking believable.
So I went out there to take some pictures, hoping it was still there. It was. As was the guy and his wife, so I talked to them for a while. Get this...

It happened just 2 hours ago, in broad daylight. Not a scratch to the car and it is nicely positioned on the milk crates. There is NO WAY someone didn't see this go down. The lugs are all nicely left on the ground and nothing else is wrong... just no wheels. The guy and his wife are still waiting for a tow truck, but the police came and went and didn't even bother to really do much at all.

Make sure you put your club on both your driving and road wheels!
