OMG, this happens in London?!

DBS has it's wheels stolen! Idiots! The damage they caused to the CCB's are more than what the wheels are worth.

It's a sight that would leave even James Bond shaken and stirred. A £175,000 Aston Martin DBS lies crumpled on bricks after having three tyres and their alloys stolen.

It appears the thieves were rumbled as they started taking off the fourth tyre in London's exclusive Eaton Square in Mayfair.

They fled the scene leaving the car with bricks underneath its chassis and a mangled jack poking out of one side.

The bill for the incident has been estimated by an Aston Martin expert as being potentially £30,000.

Replacing the wheels and tyres alone could cost up to £4,500, the body repair work might be £3,500 and the damage that has almost certainly been done to the brake pads by not being suspended above the ground could cost £20,000 to repair.

And by the looks of it, the carbon discs are touching the ground, chances are that they will need to be changed too.
Thats alot of damage for some wheels that are going to sold for a few quid and end up on a Saxo.
