WASHINGTON, D.C. (7News) — Terry Robinson from Tallahassee rented a car to visit friends in D.C. He said after hanging out until about 1 a.m., he parked his car in a lot outside his friend’s building.
7News met him Thursday morning as A-1 towing was about to remove his car that fit the profile: Toyota or Honda, all four wheels were gone, the car held up by yellow soda crates and lug nuts all over the pavement. Also, no arrests were made.
“I’m from Florida,” Robinson told 7News, “I come to visit and this is what happened.”
He said the responding police officer told him it’s happening to everybody.
Robinson, who said he’d never heard of this particular crime, said the good thing was it was a rental, and the rental company has already given him another car, ”so I can get back to Florida.”
A-1 tow truck driver Ibrahim Aburish, who prefers the nickname, Beebo, says he’s removed 80 cars with stolen wheels, including Robinson’s rental.
Who does he believe is doing this?
“I think it's professionals,” Beebo said. “I think they have a racket going and either they have a nice line of people they’re selling to, [or] they're selling to a bunch of shops. I’m not sure I think it’s something on the low. Nobody knows it’s too many times, way too many times, too many rims.”

Florida man just can’t catch a break
They saw the license plate and the rest is history.
I wouldn’t go to DC to throw up
Go home Florida man! You’re out of your element! DC is a whole ‘nother level
A Florida man is always in the news. These DC men never make the news. Their IQ must be 300!
"Hey, Homes can you direct me back to the freeway?"
More likely .300
That ... actually kinda looks good.
Like if a Model T and a 70s Cadillac had a love child.
Of course I like paddlewheel boats rather than skiboats....
Chevelle?
A few days ago I saw a pickup that was heavy duty enough to have dual rear wheels. All the wheels (all six) were in big rim, low-profile tires. A funny “look.”
Lulz, I remember back in the days when people talked about driving in Harlem, etc. NYC and warning about not stopping at any red lights cause a gang of 4 would jump out, jack your car up, and remove the four tires from said before it turned green.
Most of them, by now, have probably gravitated to some NOOSEGATE pit crews......
I think it was a Grand Prix at one time?...............
My neighbor has a Big Foot type truck and has those thin wheels on it!....................
It has a bit of Pimpmobile in it. 14th Street in DC comes to mind.
I wonder how well it does auto crossing.
That thing has as much ground clearance as a 4x4.
It’s the car of choice for the downtrodden
The crime in DC has gone through the roof, which sad because they actually had a period where they were cleaning it up. Carjackings the roof and climbing murder and violent crime rate.
FL plates stick out like a sore thumb...
