No, I expect you to walk Mr. Bond

The bill for the incident has been estimated by an Aston Martin expert as being potentially £30,000.

Ouch! Thatsa nasty one.

This is particularly sad. Theft is bad enough alone but to wreck everything else in the process is very poor form.

 

I for one don't see what the point of stealing the wheels would be besides as a trophy, and it seems a bit risky for that. Anyone who owns an Aston Martin isn't going to be buying replacement wheels off Ebay, they are of the wealth bracket where they don't need it, and having everything officially documented by official dealers is important to the prestige car world.

 

So Mr. F430 owner, you may want to reconsider parking there.

The only thing I can think of is that they were stealing them to ship them off to the far east, no one in the UK would buy second hand Aston wheels. They're probably quite easy to transfer over there, like stolen cars... Oh, and they we're probably aiming for all four but failed :lol:

Ouch, that's quite pathetic. It's happened to an old Vauxhall near where I live a few years back. :lol: That was funny though because the driver didn't have any insurance.

I wonder what Mike has to say about this..

 

He probably did it.. :rolleyes:

 

And that is bull *..

That is quite sad. Aston ruined by petty thieves. I'm surprised no one noticed it happening.

[EW]

why did they only take 3? :confused:

 

You need 4 for a set right?

[T0M722]

Because someone noticed them probably. Read the article.

[EW]

Sorry I have better things to do.

It looks like the jacks couldn't support all of the weight and they dropped the car. Doesn't look like they could get the last wheel off.

Because someone noticed them probably. Read the article.

I wouldn't read it, they can't even get the area of London right, it's Belgravia not Mayfair.

 

Alternatively the car could have collapsed on the jack.

[Penfold]

The article is piece of crap :lol: It say they stole the tyres of it, and the brake pads were damaged, instead of the disks.

 

If you look at the 3rd picture the jacks ripped through the side skirt so then they couldn't get the last wheel off...

[cis4care]

You are surprised about this? I'm sure not, where i live, this happens all the time to cars like these. And the stripped Diablo one was better (no offense, Diablo ;)) :D

[CLR-GTR]

They forgot the Ferrari, which they can take away in its entireness. :p Just make sure it won't catch fire, Ferrari's and Lambo's are known to be hot in a way you don't want them to be.

Thats a shame, Leaving a car on bricks is one thing, but wreacking the rear of it as well? Somthing like this happened to a mate of mine reasently, but he cought the people midway threw the first wheel, and since he had a few mates round they all chased the people, but they got away...now his car is keped in a Garage!

 

I just hope no one seems my MR with it's 3 new rims.....

[Immelmann]

:(

 

Must say though, with metal poles and glass overlays, they'd make 3 great coffee tables :p

[Ibn Rushd]

Again? This happened to a V12 Vanquish a while back.
