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.”

No address mentioned, but did say it’s by the Bible Way Church, so that’s 1100 NJ Ave — it intersects w/ NY Ave at M, so no exactly “NW” but still NW. It’s over by Dunbar HS.
No big deal: just more black on black crime...
DC was a dump before the Biden crime wave.
Where is the one place in the U.S. where even Florida Man gets outdone in terms of stupid criminal audacity?
Back around 1987, I and some friends visited a co-worker who lived outside of New York City. I was driving a used Audi at the time. I think it was a ‘79 or ‘80. We went to a theater off Broadway that Saturday night, and when we got back to her apartment building, I discovered that the front bumper of the car had been stolen. Turns out the bumper was worth $1500.
