sucks that that happened to you.

you can get the stock pirelli's for about $150-$175 a piece last time i checked if you want to pocket some of the money, but would be a good time to choose a better tire.

Might want to look into after market wheel/tire package, you can upgrade for around the same price.

Sorry about your loss, that really sucks!

Man that sucks! At least they were nice enough to put blocks under it for you. Keep an eye out for a non platnum f150 rolling on platinum rims, and file a police report.

Damn bastards. Sorry that happened to you. Pretty brazen, right in front of your house. I hope the law gets them. No scratch that. I hope a citizen does.

I hate to mention it but sometimes they have been known to strike twice. Wheel locks won't stop them if they want them. Maybe slow them down a little is all.

Man this sucks! Sorry to see this happen to you. Had similar experience with my 88 Mustang GT years ago in Sacramento, CA - but they also smashed the rear hatch window and rifled the interior.

File a police report and check any nearby pawn shops. I found my two - or what I suspected were my two stolen front tires and wheels - just a few days later in a local pawn shop. No way to prove they were mine so I had to buy em back. Good luck!
