Numerous car owners in Queens were furious to find that their tires were stolen off their vehicle overnight.
This happened in the kew Gardens Hills section of the Boro, at 138th Street near 68th Avenue.
The message this man has in the video below, pretty much, says it all.
The thieves usually work in groups so that they can remove the tires quickly once the car is jacked up. The whole thing can be done in less than 10 minutes, according to experts.
To prevent tire theft, authorities recommend wheel locks on the rim and parking with tires turned into the curb, which makes it difficult to get them off.

So the mayor needs to have his underlings tell us how to protect ourselves from senseless crimes.
But let’s think positive. The perps are likely to turn themselves in. They will follow the incentive of a restaurant meal and Mets tickets at the taxpayer expense. Mr. Mayor – that’s called fighting “for” crime, not against it.

This is from Aug. 2019 but I’m sure it’s still applicable. Please don’t mislead people simply because you don’t like De Blasio. It’s childish.
Mam, it was a lie even then, but it’s certainly NOT applicable now.

You may want to recheck your numbers.
