The vehicle, which is owned by Enterprise Rental-A-Car, was stripped of its wheels and left on soda crates, with the lug nuts on the ground below the axles. The person renting the car said he believed that the car was locked; nothing else was taken.
Also, someone stripped the wheels off of a black, late-model Hyundai Sonata parked in the Enterprise-Rent-a-Car lot on Bethlehem Pike in Springfield Township sometime last week. According to a clerk, it was the only car that had its wheels stolen.
