Look, Ma, No Wheels
Fort Greene has been very, very good to one band of merry car strippers. A reader sent this photo in yesterday of an Infiniti sedan—minus four tires—parked on Cumberland Street off Lafayette Avenue. That’s gotta hurt.

Honestly, I’ll take broken glass over stolen wheels any day. It’s amajor f**king ordeal – I would EAT the mutherf**kers, if I caught them.
Seriously, DJ?
Dave, I’ve also noticed cars go unmolested in Bed Stuy. Last year there was a nice old Jaguar parked outside a block away from us. Too funny.
In contrast, two or three times a week last year I’d come out of our apt in Bushwick and find glass all over the ground because someone had broken into a car on our block.
Also, if you’re up by the lofts around Flushing, you’ll see ravaged and burnt out cars all over the place. BushwickBK has posted a lot of photos of them. It’s a dumping ground for stolen cars. And maybe a lot of the auto body shops in the area are doing work on them….not sure.
Great place to get your car fixed for cheap though. I recommend it.
That was my car on 16th Street. If anyone saw anything (even a suspicious car) PM me. Dying to find out more…
M*thaF**kercs
if it wasnt for those “stupid traffic pigs” our nyc taxes would be even MORE expensive. i say keep write those tikkies up ladies! ticket illegally parked bikes as well, we need all the revenue we can get!
*rob*
And the sad thing is the traffic pigs will start giving tickets now when its not moved for sweeping.
What the hell is wrong with people?!?!?!
I have actually parked my car in exactly that spot a few times. Thanking my lucky stars that that has never happened to me.
If anyone is interested, on the other side of the car is a crushed house paint can under the driver’s door. Assuming this was used to hold the frame up while taking the wheels?
Too add insult to injury, the can dented the door and left a giant glob of white paint on the car.
I think someone’s under there.
“I think the rotors will warp from having to support the weight of the car. ”
The rotors will be fine. They are hardened steel, (bc they get super hot from brake calipers). plus, replacement rotors are pretty cheap. OTOH, letting the car sit on rims severely jeapordizes the tie rods, and those ain’t cheap.
And judging by the rust on the rotors, this car has been sitting a few days.
bummer.
