Tire Thief On The Loose In Williamsburg

It’s no way to start your morning — you come outside, and you find out your car is missing all four of its tires. Mechanics that we spoke to say it could take less than four minutes if the person knows what they’re doing. Obviously, cops want this tire bandit off the streets.

In the Orthodox community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a tire-thief is on the loose. “It’s all over the neighborhood. I don’t know if they do it for the hubcaps or for whatever reason … but they simply put the car on some bricks and take off the tires.” There have been 11 different reports since June 27 where owners simply go to bed and wake up with all four tires missing.
