Well we got a call from the cops today. They found the rims. Just got back a little while ago from the police station to identify the rims. We brought a picture of them so they could see them (they never asked for a pic before).
So the detective tells us he goes to a weekly detectives meeting where a bunch of them get together and go through stuff, including thumbing through all the new stuff at all the pawn shops. They keep names of the people that sell them stuff at these shops, to along with the stuff, they have names. One name jumped out at the detective. A known criminal, and it said he sold 4 rims. So he brought this info back with him, simply because this guy has warrants out for him. He got back to the station and he told another detective that their guy has popped up again, this time with a set of rims. The other detective says we just got a case with a set of stolen rims. So he went down to the pawn shop and picked them up. The guy is still out there and they are putting out another warrant for his arrest. He is a drug addict, and his ex used to live in the neighborhood and he is very familiar with the area. He has even broken into his own parents house and stolen stuff to pay for his addiction.
So they will be holding on to the rims for a little bit, as evidence and then they will be released to me. It's fine since i am not putting them on till the spring.
