VW Forum Member Might Have Found Stolen Wheels on Ebay

[Ducky 2.0T]

Just a bit of a backstory... A buddy of mine that lives in Rochester, NY had a Black MKV GTI with a bunch of work done to it. Most importantly (in relation to the story) he had a set of HRE 540 wheels custom spec'd.





In March of 2008, he took it to the dealership to have routine maintenance. The car had to sit overnight and he returned to pick it up and it was in this condition.





Interestingly enough, the car was parked just outside of camera view. To their credit, the dealership made things right. They ended up buying his GTI and trading him up to a MKV R32. In his eyes, he made out on the deal and he is totally happy driving this..





Fast forward to today. Someone recognizes the wheels for sale on Ebay. Posted from Rochester, NY and posts it on Golfmkv.com.

The cops have been called, but the original owner has no interest in the wheels anymore since the dealership made him whole. In the interest of justice, he is trying to prevent this guy from profiting off of these stolen (allegedly) wheels. If they aren't stolen, then it is highly coincidental that someone had an exact set of wheels, which have never been seen on a MKV GTI other then the OG's car, in the same town. The original owner has all of the original HRE purchase order information, so it should be interesting.
