Blatantly stolen from another forum:
I know how the poor goober feels; I walked out one morning to find someone had left my GTi in a similar state.

Score, free car jack!

Nice
Ha, this happened to me once, except I disturbed the crooks, they bolted leaving me one very nice jack and all my rims were still present.
At least they had enough respect for the car that they didn't just drop it on the ground and take their jack.
Nice to see a GTR brought down to it's 240sx roots. Nothing is sacred.
The time they did me that way they didn't even put a rock underneath it and left it flat on the ground. Do you know how hard it is to jack up a car sitting on the grass when it doesn't have any wheels?
anybody else notice that it is parked at an apartment complex?
You can afford that car, but not a garage?

this may be hard to believe, but there are some people known as "30K millionaires"...they can afford anything.
How, pray tell, are the thieves going to offload the wheels? Does the Skyline even share a common stud-pattern with anything else? Even if so, the kid rolling GTR 19's on his Sentra would be spotted from a mile off.

There's some kid going to Purdue this year who has one, and living in a residence hall, he doesn't even get a parking lot, it's parked on the street.
At least the good news is asshats like that will drive the prices down to GRM territory in ~10 years. 
I don't think the car had stock wheels, but I wouldn't know.
Unfortunately even lock nuts can be removed with a special tool.
You can buy those tools at Harbor Freight, they're called "sockets" 
I would have kept going and taken the brakes. Possibly more valuable than the wheels!
I can't believe they left valuable GT-R lugnuts on the ground. i'm sure some kid with his hat on sideways would have paid $10 bucks a piece to have them on his Accent.

Haha true story
The brakes on the Gt-R are bigger than the rims I have had some cars

If you break it you can't steal the replacement wheels as fast. Sorta like milking a cow vs eating it.

Either that, or he's got some late classes. I've seen it parked in front of Meridith Hall around 6-6:30 at night. He likes to do 0-60 runs from each stopsign in the middle of campus too.

Dad buys kid an expensive sports car. Kid drives expensive sports car like a douche bag. Go figure.
I'll be he's in a fraternity, pops his collar, and calls everybody "brah".
Yeah, from the looks in the background, they are condos or really nice apartments. There are a bunch of those apartments here in Austin, rich techies that don't want to buy a house, but get $1500/mo apartments instead.

Having one of those things without a garage is ponderous.
Also--WTF does one do w/ those wheels after stealing them??? I can't imagine they fit on many other cars properly.
Also, with so few of them out there, they'd be hard to sell online without raising a red flag.

Some time I'll have to tell the story of how my GT6 got wrecked. Not on the internet, though.
