Wheels Stolen From Honda On Wellington Court

We don’t hear about it too often, but every once in a while we see or get a report of a car having all its wheels stolen in the area. Neighbor Fred sends this info about an incident that occurred on Tuesday night on Wellington Court between East 17th and the subway:

Ugh! Once again, a Honda parked on Wellington Court was relieved of all 4 wheels last night. The owner found it up on blocks. If you own a Honda (any Honda) with alloy wheels, consider wheel locks (e.g. Gorilla Locks, locally or on Amazon). They are not foolproof by any means, but they are just another protection against this type of thievery.

According to the most recent CompStat report ending the week of September 8 for our 70th Precinct, grand larcenies (which is what this would be classified as) are down overall compared to the same period last year. That’s probably not any consolation to the owner of this car, though
