It says crossroads Fuji on it and the wheels are pretty thin. Also if theres a way to find a less expensive wheel that would be great
Also, how could he prevent this from happening again? I think he said he locked the back tire instead of the front which he said he should’ve done since it’s harder to steal? I’m not exactly sure though

Take a picture of the rear tire and wheel it will help greatly. Judging from the current pictures the bike has standard 700c wheels. So you’re going to want to look for a 700c quick release rim brake wheel. As for a tire, having a picture of the rear tire will help. Look for some like this “700×35” that will tell you the size of the tire.
I have a suggestion for the front wheel lock. Bosvision makes a 5 digit combo U lock that fits on my bikes. In my opinion it’s secure enough for a front wheel and can be found for under $20
I would look on fb marketplace and your local bike store LBS, they should have something lying around that’s under 100
These would help avoid them being stolen in the future:

This wheel should work. I would recommend asking a local bike store.

Honestly, don’t get upsold. I would buy the least expensive front wheel you can find. I don’t mean to be rude but just don’t want you to get taken advantage of.
The best front wheel lock would be a U-lock. 2 U-locks at each wheel is the preferred bike locking method recommended by Bike Index.
