"Wheels Stolen from $100,000 Jaguar

The manager at Darien Auto Group (Jaguar of Darien), 1335 Post Road, reported on Monday, July 8, that someone had stolen four wheels from a 2002 Jaguar XKR Special Edition which was parked in a secure area of the lot sometime during the previous evening.

Police said the car was discovered resting on four blocks.

The manager said the four rims and tires, along with tire valves and lug nuts, were valued in total at $10,202. He said the car is a special, turbo-charged model which sells for nearly $100,000."

He probably had to say that to cover his $5k deductible! Seriously, there are some wacky MSRP's on parts out there. It could be true...

Wild number....yikes....maybe padding for insurance ;-)

Probably true with some padding - I mean yours alone Den are just over $4000!

Dayum, that's scary...LOL.

The wheels are something like $850 each so with MSRP for Pilots + fitting + balance you're looking at close on $4700.

That car's supercharged, not turbocharged! Where's their journalistic integrity?

LOL, probably a summer intern writing the police column ;-)
