At least they left in on bricks and not drop it on its discs. Still <beep> though.

Yeah I guess, I'd hate to see the damage to the underside with them dropping the car on the bricks.

Looking at that picture, they'd have been better off dropping it on the discs as likely a lower cost to replace the discs than both sills as looks like the centre block (large one) has folded the sill in & i can only assume the other side's the same.

Its hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the drivers side rear wheel is still on, weird why they'd leave one. Maybe the owner came out and they ran.

I believe the car was in London, one of the comments on the original Facebook post was "I hope its not liverpool, can't take another 20 years of them digs".

Finding stuff like this makes my blood boil.

Paul, the sill looks ok to me. The sideskirt normally has a twist half down it so looks ok too.

The Audi locking wheels nuts are almost pointless.

Let's hope so. I can see what you mean & it may be the light, but it does look like the sill's being disfigured directly above the large block. Saying that, it's not the best photo so fingers crossed for the owner it's purely cosmetic. As above, seems an awfully long time ago when <beep> like this used to happen.

It does look like there is a shadow where the rear wheel should be so maybe they only took the road side wheels as the kerbside is mostly likely to be more visible to the owner and harder to remove due to the kerb as it would need to be lifted even higher which is probably not ideal on a crappy scissor jack. Or maybe they used a trolley jack for speed and there is no way they'd get a trolley jack in on the other side with the kerb there, I can just about get one in without a kerb.

If the car is on air suspension, then that would probably mean that the suspension goes wack after the scumbags does something like that.

I've been tempted to do that a few times after how much they cost and how easily they buckled over a small pot hole. I've been back to Audi 3 times in the last year cause of the wheels
