I think this photo is from Sydney (or could be Melbourne) anyway, if you can afford an Aston Martin, you probably should garage it.

I'd say it was an inside job. They knew exactly where to put that cinder block to balance the car

No way in hell I'd leave that car outside!

Since it's a Ford, those rims are probably crammed onto a Ford Focus by now

Locking bolts or not, there are ways to remove wheels...Looks like it's balanced perfectly on those 2 blocks...

Someone should photoshop
some retro steelies on the Aston
just for fun.

If I had an Aston I would have locking lug nuts
the best car alarm money can buy
and a pit bull named killa.

If I had an Aston, I'd hire 4 dwarves (sorry, little people) to guard my rims. One for each wheel!

I feel for the owner whether he/she has money or not. Obviously the owner is an enthusiast and lover of fine cars. Could've been visiting someone and wanted to enjoy some time behind the wheel or just didn't have enough loot to afford a garage after getting the car. Where's a cop when you need one?
