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

Just an observation but your security cable is rather puny
Didn't you have any locking nuts ?

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
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

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.

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.
