Were they trying to steal your Monoblock IIs? Or do you have other wheels?

Well this house has a one-car garage that is full with my motorcycles. My other house is too far away so my ride lives outside under a bright light. I have a 357 mag and some cold steel knives, but who wants to hurt someone for a car. I have factory rims and I don't want some kid or whoever leaving my ride on blocks or the ground for these very low cost monoblock II AMG wheels. I hope the alarm being sensitive and the new wheel locks deter them for coming back for more if so then it may get ugly.

The question was not about what the thieves were doing. The question was about what make/model wheel was being stolen.
I can imagine thieves going after some iForged and HRE type wheels. I wouldn't imagine AMG Monoblocks being highly sought after by wheel thieves.

Maybe they were looking for AMG Monoblocks specifically. If one of the thieves has a Benz, that could be a possibility too.

You can't imagine it because you aren't a thief. Thieves will steal whatever they can, however they can, whenever they can. Heck.... one of the most popular things to steal is a minivan... you know why? They fill it with the stuff that they steal from other heists. Snatch a van, then go and snatch a couple of rims off a couple of cars.... and call it a night.
