It happens. Better than carjacking that used to be fairly common.

This made the papers? Wow, I've seen a lot of "newsworthy" stuff in my nearly 3 decades in DTJC but stolen car tires? Wouldn't even warrant a sniff back in the day...

Those rims with new tires on them are worth around $500 each retail, that is a decent score and maybe the owner will learn about lug nut locks the hard way now.

Why Acura rims? What makes them more special than any other?

I think you are overthinking this... Most likely, the thieves just wanted the rims and tires. Those rims are easy to move. This happens a lot more than people think. I personally two different people who had their Acura wheels stolen and the car left on cinder blocks, and the guys who did it are SUPER GOOD at it. They could easily work for a Nascar pit crew. Judging by the video of one of the incidents, all four wheels came off in a matter of minutes and none was the wiser, and they were brazen, doing it within earshot of apartments and a lobby entrance to a building. Welcome to Jersey City...

"The 31-year-old owner of the car told police that the vehicle registration, as well as a Federal Agent Family Member shield had been taken from the car." I wonder if this was in plain view and prompted this.
