The owner of a Ford F-150 in Atlanta, United States, was shocked after finding his pickup truck resting on bricks after criminals stole all four wheels from the vehicle inside the garage of a gated condominium complex.
The case was shared by Justin Opel, the vehicle’s owner, who posted a video on his TikTok profile showing the truck without its wheels and with lug nuts scattered across the floor.
According to him, the residential complex where he lives has a gate and private security, but that did not stop the thieves from carrying out the theft. Curiously, the spare tire was left behind. “Yeah, they left me [the spare], wow, how nice. This is crazy!” Opel said in the clip.
The video has already surpassed 760,000 views, with hundreds of comments from users sympathizing with the situation. “Talk to a lawyer, your [condominium] could be held liable,” advised one TikTok user.
“This video right here is the reason why my car is boring. Nothing but factory parts and accessories,” wrote another. “I hope they didn’t damage your truck in the process,” commented a third user. “This feels personal,” added someone else.
According to the website Motor1, wheel and tire thefts have become increasingly common in major American cities, especially in regions such as Atlanta. The high resale value of factory wheels and the ease of removal make popular models like the F-150 frequent targets.
