I know OEM wheels can be expensive but even at retail prices I have a hard time believing that the total losses for this theft could approach $300K.

Some of the Camaro's could be that high, especially if they are Z28's or ZL1's. Plus the labor to get all these back off the ground is going to be a bear, if they didn't damage anything.
We lost a few sets of the nice aluminum wheels of a pair of duel-rear wheel and those wound up being ugly - about $6K per truck, mainly because they stole the spindle adapters on the front as well.
