What WOULD Bond say? DBS Wheels Stolen
*Warning, not for the faint of Aston Martin hearts..* 
I have found this article online, and after being traumatized from what I have seen, I decided to share it with all of you..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a sight that would leave even James Bond shaken and stirred. A £175,000 Aston Martin DBS lies crumpled on bricks after having three tyres and their alloys stolen.
It appears the thieves were rumbled as they started taking off the fourth tyre in London's exclusive Eaton Square in Mayfair.
They fled the scene leaving the car with bricks underneath its chassis and a mangled jack poking out of one side.
The bill for the incident has been estimated by an Aston Martin expert as being potentially £30,000.
Replacing the wheels and tyres alone could cost up to £4,500, the body repair work might be £3,500 and the damage that has almost certainly been done to the brake pads by not being suspended above the ground could cost £20,000 to repair.
The DBS was used by George Lazenby's James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
After a period with Lotus, Bond started using the new version of the car in 2006 in Casino Royale and in 2008 in Quantum Of Solace.
An Aston Martin DBS was also used in the short-lived TV series The Persuaders, in which Roger Moore's character Lord Brett Sinclair drove a distinctive orange-gold tinted 6-cylinder model.

Only one tyre remains on the driver's side of the £175,000 supercar
