Man reports stolen wheel and tire, finds it on Facebook Marketplace
10:39 a.m. — Palm Coast
Residential burglary. A man reported his American Racing wheel and tire stolen, only for a similar wheel to pop up for sale on Facebook marketplace.
The man said he left his $400 wheel outside his house and returned the next day from work to find it missing, according to an incident report.
When a Sheriff’s Office deputy arrived, the man told the deputy that his brother had found what appeared to be his missing wheel on Facebook Marketplace, priced for $40.
The man’s chrome-colored wheel had a scratch on the tire caused by the wheel and the one pictured on Facebook Marketplace also had a similar scratch, the report said.
The deputy looked at the poster’s profile and noted that it appeared to be a spam profile. The theft is under investigation.
