Default Urban Expressions Wheel & Tire Smash & Grabbed Last Night!

Hey all,

Just putting it out there that if you see any new wheels and tires come up for cheap, we got smash and grabbed last night and they got a fair bit of rims and tires from what we can tell. We still need to go through and compare inventory with deliveries etc but please keep an eye out. I will post a list of notable things that may stand out. Now I have to spend the rest of day organizing repairs and re-booking appointments. Frustrating to say the least!

Property can be replaced. Yes I know it is a pain in the butt and you’re feeling mad but I’m glad nobody got hurt. That is most important.
Like my old man used to say:”Thank God they only took money”!

Yeah there is no point in getting worked up about it. I am more frustrated than angry. Now I have to deal with all this when I should be working and making money.

Bob

Sorry about your problems. Hope they catch the slime balls and you don't have too much aggravation getting it settled. New stock is at least pretty quick to get back in place, which is good considering how fast tires are selling right now.

All the best.

Totally sucks Bob. We have had our tools stolen off job sites so many times in the last 15 years, I stopped bothering with insurance or claims. Deductible and premium increase was making it prohibitive....can't stop the damn thieves either, so learned to keep minimal equipment on jobs and the rest in the service truck, locked up tight in driveway.

Have a whisky. TC

So frustrating. Will keep an eye out on the usual sales websites.

Sister and brother in laws tire shop in Stettler got hit on the weekend as well. He's heard about your shop as well.
Thinking I need to dig a deep hole in the back 40. Charge a small "disposal" fee for a little extra spending money

Took your sage advice Twisted! I cracked this baby open last night and enjoyed a very nice dram!
