If they steal wheels they probably steal jacks too.

I can't imagine this was the only pair of wheels they have ever decided to steal, and they chose to use and leave their own personal scissor jack.... Its not like they are that hard to come up with one.

Probe?
Its a 240 looking car, but that is definitely not from a 240... (at least not an S13)

Yup I have a 1st Gen DSM, that lives across the street.
That was my first guess.

I would totally suspect that guy. Go up to his house and be all: "Hey, man. Missing your jack?"

That's exactly what I thought about doing.

"Hey man, I think you left your jack at my house"

The owner is an older white guy with a belly.. kind trailer trash/hick looking, and he is a renter.
I was surprised that whoever stole the wheels left my Brembos completely alone. Definitely not someone who knew what they were doing, the whole job looked very unprofessional.. As if it was not really planed out well. The blocks came from another house across the street from him and me. (on the corner)

I can just imagine how it came about.. after one to many beers

My suggestion would be to install a huge nail in the sidewall of one of his tires and keep an eye on him to see how he goes about jacking up his car to change it. Or maybe when you see him notice the tire go over and offer to help and be like, "so where's your jack?"

All right, you got me, I didn't put a disclaimer. Obviously, you should not do anything like this unless you were certain it was him and couldn't get the police to do anything.

I have been in this situation with vandalism, I knew who did it but the police would not do anything because it was their word against my single witnesses'. In my case I decided not to do anything to avoid back and forth BS.
