Angry xA Hubcaps Stolen in PDX, OR

Woke up this morning to find my stock hubcaps missing off of my MY06 xA. One was scratched from a drive-thru curb. Who steals hubcaps, really?
I'm in SE Portland. If anyone hears of some showing up please send me a msg. Thanx

There have been some ghetto happenings in SE Portland. Someone tried stealing my brother in laws motorcycle a couple days ago. Except they ended up breaking the head of their screw driver in the ignition and stole his license plate.

@robbiej - yeah I don't think I'll get mine back. If you find them let me know.

Previously I had my car painted with window paint. Drew a big ol' ____ and ***** on the rear window too. Lovely.

Thanks Rob! I got new hubcaps and the ride is looking next to new again. Gave it a good carwash and trying to find a vender of Amsoil so I can get an oil change in before the ride on Aug 1st.

This happened near King Rd and SE Bell Ave. Also noticed a few other rides in the area missing all hubcaps, so it seems it isn't an isolated incident. I would be interested in finding out how much these sleeze-bags are getting for a set and who would buy them.

Out of curiosity, did you report it to the police? Not that you'd necessarily get your hubcaps back because of it - but if there are that many things going on in that area and people aren't reporting them - the cops won't realize they need to address the problems.

Yeah I reported the hubcaps stolen right away. It is usually quiet in my area, but random ppl stroll through once in a while. Been having a problem with trespassers at night in the pool area of my complex too. Wouldn't care if they knew how to not wake up the whole neighborhood at 3am.

On a similar note someone tried stealing my tags, but ended up partially ripping it. They ended up stealing my Aunt's. As a result I had to buy some license plate frames. SE PDX can be whack sometimes.
