Rise of Car Wheel Thefts
The theft of car wheels has been on the rise in recent years, with thieves targeting high-end vehicles for their valuable rims and tires. In some cases, the thefts are part of a more significant trend of organized crime, with stolen wheels sold on the black market.
Car owners are advised to take precautions to protect their vehicles, such as parking in well-lit areas, using wheel locks, and investing in security cameras. However, the damage has already been done for victims like Michelle Lee, and the road to recovery can be long and challenging.
