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.

I’m sure that like attention2detail says, those were some fancy rims, worth the trouble to take all four. It’s quite possible the perpetrator victimized one of his own.
That’s been happening in WT/SS also. Time to get some wheel locks…
