This group of thieves broke into an unsold Tesla storage lot in Texas, but rather than expensive vehicles going missing, in fact, was something even more bizarre was stolen.
The crime took place on Valentine’s Day, and instead of it being a day of love, thieves made off with 2000lbs and $16,000 worth of goods.
An identical robbery occurred the next day in League City, Texas, but unlike first incident, the second try was unsuccessful.
Both cases are completely inactive as there are absolutely no leads, which could be due to the nature of the stolen goods being difficult to track in comparison to a whole Tesla car.

What they stole was really bizarre
In an EV lot on Valentine’s Day in League City, Texas, a gang of thieves struck in the night, making off with $16,000 of goods.
The unsold Tesla storage lot was an Amazon warehouse parking lot full of Model Ys and Model 3s.
Instead of taking the obvious objects to steal in the lot, the autos themselves, the thieves stole the Teslas’ wheels. All of them.
They removed the wheels from 12 of the cars, around 48 in total.
Used tires are worth $350 each, so the robbers are set to make at least $16,000.
But they could potentially gain even more – one of the cars they hit was a Tesla Model 3 Performance, which is more expensive.
Were the Tesla thieves successful?
The local police are trying to pursue the perpetrators of the crime.
But it’s proving difficult to find them, as they have no leads.
An identical crime was attempted the day after, on February 15th in the same city in Texas.
And even though the robbers were unsuccessful, cops are still in the dark.
Nobody knows if it’s the same gang of thieves who stole the tires or a different group entirely.
We don’t know much about who committed this crime, but we do know that they’re probably wheel-y bad people.
