Well I don't have them!

Some b**tard has nicked them from my back garden. They came with the car. They are the original fitment (no tyres) and I had no space inside to store them. So I stacked them outside in my back garden. Sometime in the last couple of weeks somebody walked in and helped themselves to 3 of them. It seems a most unlikely bit of thieving. They stole 3 not 4 and I'm guessing they won't be much use on a modern car. So I find myself asking.....WTF??

Anyway.....I'm feeling a bit pissed off.

Scum bag , sadly I'm guessing scrap metal mans had them

I enjoyed the drive down South, just didn't quite have the boot space for the fourth wheel !!!!!

No, it's an odd sort of theft, don't imagine they'd be much use to most people. As John said they are now probably at a scrappy. I'd be feeling a lot peed off too.

A couple of years ago someone nicked the old Rad I'd changed on my 916 GTV, I'd just left leant it on the wall at the side of the garage. Sometime later I noticed it had gone. Now I wasn't bothered about the fact that it had gone, saved me a trip to the dump, but I was concerned that someone had the nerve to just walk on the property and nick it.

Even worse than that was that one night someone hacked the Cat off my neighbours Peugot, none of us heard a thing despite our bedrooms being at the front of the houses. This is supposed to be a good area too.

We're all doomed !

If it makes you feel better I lost this beauty to some pikeys that cashed it in at the scrappers the day after my insurance ran out,

Nigel - I can send the last wheel by carrier

GTV. - how on earth did that happen? From the pic that car was pretty nice!

I'll PM my address - thanks !!!!!

I was thinking that the Alfetta looked pretty nice too.

At the time the pikeys were lifting anything with no alarms they were probably doing 6 a day. It was 10 years ago I'm still gutted now

You have to wonder what the scrapper was thinking to scrap a car like that, presumably without documents. Probably another pikey! Bastards.

I was only the third owner, it was an original unmolested model with perfect interior and mechanics, now I rent a garage and make sure my cars are insured at all times. oh well

a harsh harsh lesson that!


very hard indeed,

and i assume the law were appropriately useless in the matter?


they were when a similar kind of thing happened to me many years ago, absolutely shockingly useless!


law had to be taken into ones own hands

Actually, a friend of mine thought he saw a red car at the local pikey area in London, I went to the police with a photo of my car, and they escorted me down there to check out the area kind of immediately, I was most surprised, blue lights and all, the local pikeys didn't like it, but all we found was a cut up mr2. To be fair they did take an interest, but I guess that was a one off.
