Also had the spare wheel go (on a Freelander). Since then I've used a locking wheel cover and never put a new tyre on as the spare. Keeping my fingers crossed. Mind you it might just be where I live. Someone nicked my front gate last year.
Had three people drive into back of my disco. Being on the South Circular none of them stopped, but got a glimpse of lots of lovely damage as they drove away. Not a scratch on the disco though.

I used to work with a guy who had spent quite a few years working on the gambling boats opertating out of Malaysia. Married to a Malaysian bird as well.
He was telling me that out there, there is practically zero theft. Why? because if you get caught, you get a public flogging. Get caught a second time and you get a finger cut off. Get caught a third time and you get your hand cut off.
Pity about all the ****ing do-gooders in this country blaming sociaty for these scumbags going out theiving. "It aint their fault. They came from an under-privlidged background. You shouldn't have nice things anyway"
FFS!
I remember when I was really little we were so poor we had screws for doorhandles, no lampshades, and only paint on the walls as my dad couldn't afford wallpaper. I've never nicked owt in my life.
(sorry for the rant)

looks just like yours
I would just like to add that I have never been to cardiff :doh:
What I did for a while was put the spare wheel carrier on the inside of the door, that'll stop the thieving bastards nicking it. but I have taken mine off compleatly now as the spare is a different size to my m/t so I just have to make sure I don't get a puncture
How do you know they're from Donny?

I wouldn't bet on it being local. I'm pretty sure that around here the scrappies send scouts out to look for likely targets, then they come back and pick them off early one morning. Hope the locknuts work - on my Freelander we discovered that there were only ten patterns and that you could buy a set of keys for £60.00, much less than the price of a wheel. I think the disco ones are a bit more robust, but even then my tyre supplier reckons he can get them off easily enough!

I take it you had locking nuts/bolts fitted. If so, then you've been seriously unlucky & you have my sympathy.

As I sed before, locking nuts will deter the kiddies but they can be removed - easy as pie from a Freelander, probably harder from a Disco.

Now the b**tard binmen have broken my rear light. They weren't even trying to nick anything.
