I assume that’s where you live? That an apartment complex? Someone had to see something, looks like there are plenty of people around. I’d suggest getting some locking lug nuts. Won’t stop them if they really want your wheels, but will help deter them. Bummer dude.
Hopefully when they stick them on their 95 Tahoe they don’t properly torque the lugnuts resulting in a spectacular crash followed by EMS amputating their dicks right on the side of the road.

Wow. That absolutely sucks. Like See Are 125 said someone had to see something. It's not like you're out in the middle of nowhere.
Where do you store store your bike? Storage/Garage available? Ground floor apartment? Hopefully somewhere secure.
I assume you already did but if not go knock on people's doors to see if any of them saw anything. Do any of the buildings have security camera's?

Nobody saw anything. The guy across from me has two harleys sitting out in the open and nobody has ever messed with them. The only security cameras on the property are at the front gates. I stopped by the office after lunch to let them know about it and ask about the cameras. Apparently they haven't worked in over 2 years.
The cop that came by and took the report said this is the 5th or 6th set of Denali wheels in the last few weeks from the area. A trooper friend of his has had his taken 4 times already.
I have my stuff in a garage on site and haven't had a problem yet. Yet anyways.

That sucks!! Can you add a variety of wheels locks on each rim? Anything to slow them down ...
A guy I work with had his custom wheels stolen off his truck..he sees the guy drivin around with them but the cops in Milwaukee are “too busy” to do anything about it. He also had his iPad stolen and it’s pinging at an address in Milwaukee- again the cops are too busy to do anything about it.
Now if he were to go confront the people to get his shit back I guarantee HE will get in trouble/arrested.
We also have “folks” from Milwaukee driving out to my community breaking into houses during the day- we are all prime targets because “they” know we are all at work during the day.

This is 110% bullshit. And if it's not then your coworker needs to contact a supervisor from within the department.
I'm calling bullshit though.

Holy shit. I thought I was going to see a pic of Java and a naked lady.
That is a beautiful truck and I’m surprised it didn’t set off some type of motion alarm on the vehicle. That might be something to look into, a good alarm that would blare if there was movement once it’s set.
Sorry to see this...makes me sick that there are so many people out there that want free stuff that others work so hard to obtain

Do you not have a factory alarm? Surely that would have fired off and locals would have heard it screaming?
You could install a motion-activated dashcam. At least if something like that happens again you might get the culprits face as they walk in front of the car.

Milwaukee is the 8th most dangerous city in America (murders) and 7,000+ cars stolen every year... which is likely the reason they are not concerned about an iPad and wheels..
