Can someone also please recommend any installers that can help installing my tires, i cant drive to the shop to install my tires. It would be great if they are near the falls church area.

 

Just to be clear, I am a police officer in Maryland and i've had to fingerprint plenty of cars before. Since you asked, I observed from that picture that the car has road salt all over it, so the surface of the paint won't give a clear, usable/liftable print. The blocks that the car is put up on, you can't print that at all because it's a porous material. I'd still throw dust on the car to check but honestly the best chance of catching these thieves would come from any serial number/identifying numbers, not fingerprints.

Unfortunately that doesn't mean a whole lot. Just curious, were your stolen wheels ever recovered? Because I'm betting even if they were it wasn't from the fingerprints they found.

 

Thanks Man. I didn't have any wheel locks

 

Thanks Man.

 

Now they'are aiming for STOCK wheels???
I can keep my eyes out but stock wheels are going to be hard since there are so many. Good luck! I hope there's no more damage

 

It is very rare for a regular street Police Officer to successfully lift a latent print from any surface. I HIGHLY doubt a print would have been lifted from this car.

Those wheels are long gone and probably to generic to even identify if you did happen to see a set for sale. Unless you know of a distinctive mark on them or something.

Another smart thing people can do is start engraving your Driver's license soundex number on things that are subject to theft.

I'm sorry this happened to you bud, look at the bright side though. This could have been so much worse if they slashed the top and got to your seats.

Just to be clear, I HIGHLY doubt that prints would be lifted as well, but that does not mean it shouldn't have been attempted.

And FYI, when my wheels were stolen, and fingerprints were recovered, it did not lead to finding the person(s) responsible for stealing them or finding my wheels. However, I was told that the same prints were lifted from a previous vehicle that was victimized.

 

Wow, sorry to hear about this. For a two team theives to do this it would probably take them less than a minute to steal all 4 tires with power tools and racing jack.

At least they left the lug nuts behind.

I had my seats, radio, shift knob and the top cut a few years ago in Arlington. The Cops came out and dusted for finger prints. Never got my stuff back. Sorry to hear about the wheels. I have a set of AP2v1 wheels you can borrow until you get some new ones.

 

Really sorry to hear. I have an extra set of AP1 wheels if you need to move your S around.
