No & not planning to.

Have had RRS's since 2007 and never had anything nicked. I know the spare wheel is vulnerable to theft but it's all down to what the percieved risk level is and where I live I have never heard of anyone having one nicked.

The car is either at home or outside the office during the week or at our place in the lake district at weekends so I don't see there's a risk and as I've already posted I don't know anyone that's had one stolen.

they stop more thefts than plain nuts do, that's just a fact

do they stop all thefts? No. Will your front door lock stop all burglars? No. But do you still engage them each night?

Not madness, last time I checked it was a free world and it's not compulsory to get one.

Yes there gave been some thefts, but the number of rrs's out there compared to how many have had their spare nicked it's hardly an epidemic and a slightly ott reaction to call us mad

Blimey rrsboy, If that's the approach you take to risk management, do you ever set foot outside your house?
Better keep your RRS in the garage, God forbid you ever take the "calculated" risk of driving it on the public roads Whistle Wink 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
