Lock down your import car ‘cuz they’re back.
At least three Hondas have been found up on milk crates and stripped of all four wheels in Lakeview and nearby Lincoln Park today. A rash of similar thefts hit that area as well parts of Lakeview in November.
The thieves target Hondas and other imports that have small wheels, which are popular accessories for tricking out cars.
Crated cars were found this morning in the 2400 block of N. Stockton, 2900 block of N. Pine Grove, and the 2600 block of N. Orchard.
