Need some detective help

Ellis Kinney · Apr 9, 2012

Two weeks ago I posted a message about 4 wheel weights and a wheel (cast iron) being stolen from my barn. As luck would have it, my son is a Cincinnati police detective and he has a lead on a couple of guys doing some work at the farm who sold 800 lbs of cast iron. My question is this: What would be the replacement price for wheel weights and a wheel? All parts are for an M. Thanks, Ellis

I sell the 150 lb weights fro $100 a set. I woudl guess awheel center to be worth $100.

Rear wheel weights go for about $50 to $75 apiece and the cast centers start at about $75 plus shipping.(If one would have them shipped???)

Thanks guys for the quick response. If the police catch these miscreants and I can get any money out of them from fines, etc. I will definitely have to buy the weights and wheel locally due to shipping. Thanks again, Ellis

Ellis,DO NOT CUT YOURSELF SHORT,I have always been a nice guy,and its costed me money.It cost to replace something,finding them,buying them,going after them,mounting them,cost of replacing them{bolts penterating oil,diffuculties,labor,ect}painting them,not counting the time you could be doing something else.Add up every thing you will spend and multiply it by 4,then youll be close

If they where sold to a scrap yard I would think you could get them back since they were stolen, if they was not processed in the yard yet. And the yard would have a record of who turned them in. Everyone selling scrap has to have current I.D to sell scrap.

I am an expert in these matters, so print this out for further use.
Value of the 4 weights, wheel, hardware, shipping and handling, total is $700.00

Keep in mind the replacement iron you is apt to be rusty and unpainted, if rear weights are worth $100, you need to add time and materials to get them back in shape. I've must spent hours and hours with a wire wheel prepping and painting, no way I'd cell my cast iron centers or weights for $500.
Don't just list the purchase price, shipping and prep work would be more than double purchase price in my book.
I dropped off some scrap fencing on Saturday (in Michigan), they took my drivers licence and finger printed me, shouldn't be hard to find the scumbags.
