So ****ed off

Had me a brand new spare wheel last month a black modular with a new insa turbo tyre! Came out to the security cable cut and it missing this morning

thieving bastards

need to go South Africa style and energise the whole chassis with 10 kV every time you arm the alarm. That'll stop 'em

Little bastards

Keep an eye on ebay, Gumtree etc and even around your local area, thieves are normal quite stupid !

Just an observation but your security cable is rather puny


Didn't you have any locking nuts ?

Any idea of strangers watching ya motor dont think they will stop at one wheel they would be looking for a set so we all better start keeping a look out

Mate in my village restored his landie on his front drive the scum watched till the day he finished and then nicked it!

It's usually parked with the back against the wall but i stayed at my girlfriends last night! I know the cable was small I had a big inch thick chain ready to go on but didn't get round to modifying the wheel carrier to fit it!

There's a reason why most people don't have brand new spare tyres on the back.

So I cant have anything nice in the fear it's gona get nicked

Keep the spare inside next time

Much safer in the van and then chain it down

I feel for ya dude. But it is a bit of a risk. I keep on ald alloy and a part warn tyre on the back, but under a wheel cover. I think it looks ok, and wont be a major loss if nicked.

Just ordered an all singing all dancing alarm to be fitted with proximity sensors etc hopefully will be a deterant but if they want it I'm sure they will do there best to take it

locking nut would have stopped em.

How? When my uncle bought his defender it had locking nuts and no key. Took us under half an hour to get all 4 off and that was while trying not to scratch the wheels.

Locking wheel nut would been a deterant but if they wanted it they would of got them off

I think everyone is missing the point. Yes, a 3 inch thick, bomb proof titanium spare wheel cover would have stopped them.
The point is that you should be able to leave your car on the street without someone stealing the wheel from it. You should be able to leave it unlocked and no one steal from it.

Thats naive to say the least young man

We should be able to violently stop thieves without risking prosecution, alas the dippy liberal judges hate car / home-owners having their own power so the thieves keep on taking the ****!
