Saw this while walking in Palermo the other day:
I guess this is a pretty valuable wheel or someone just wanted it really, really badly. Seriously though, this was a busy street and someone managed to jack up the car, steal the wheel, remove the jack and take off. They did leave the lug nuts laying all over the street though so at least the guy can use his spare tire.
The topic of crime in Buenos Aires deserves its own post, which I hope to get to one day…

That happened to me, the same tire. The AAA peeps that came to help me when i found my car the next day explained that they don't even jack it up, 1 or 2 guys just lift it up a tiny bit and get the wheel off in less than a minute. When I called to get a replacement tire I understood why, a honda fit 2009 tire/wheel combo is U$ 750!
Crazy! But yeah, that is a lot of money…
Jejeje, shit happens.
Yep, this just happened to me as well. This is very common.
