Jacked rims

I was on my way to work when I noticed a Cooper S without its wheels and tires!!! And the thieves didn't even bothered to put some blocks under the car. I only noticed a donut spare under the front bumper.

Are Mini rims desirable? I'm thinking it's b/c it has a very common bolt pattern. Thank goodness I got wheel locks.

Where was this? I hardly ever see a jacked car in Ohio, but I'm running w/o locking lug nuts ATM. ON the east coast (MD), I had to lock up even the stock rims- people would steal wheels off your car at the drop of a hat.

Bastiches...
