Just wanted to warn everybody that there is a wheel theft ring operating in the Seattle area that has a fondness for Mini 17" rims... I know this the hard way

When I called Northwest Mini about replacements they said I was the third person to call for a complete set of rims that week -- the SPD also told me there have been a lot of wheel thefts lately. So excersize some extra care until the so-and-so's are caught. There are a lot of MINI's in my neighborhood (Wallingford) so I bet they'll be back.
Argh...
