I logged the theft with the British Transport Police, got a crime reference and was told I would get a call from the police between 48-72 hours. That was last Wednesday and still no call. Will be chasing them up today. I went back to where my car was parked and there is a camera facing my car, only 10 metres away, so hopefully if it was on, there should be a clear pic of the s***s stealing my wheel. Thats assuming, this late in the day the tapes haven't been recorded over. How long do they have to keep CCTV coverage for? RR Sport TDV8 09 Santorini Black with all the trimmings |

Spoke to police and they have secured the CCTV coverage on the night. Not saying that the coverage is of high enough quality but fingers crossed it shows them scum bags

If you leave your car in a public car park or station car park on a regular basis, then it may be tempting to put your spare in a black bin bag and keep it inside the car, especially if you have tints on the windows. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

They take one look at the protectors and then sod off as they really don't want to hang around any longer than necessary. I think if you ever get to see the CCTV, that they will get under, cut the cable & get out in less than 30 seconds. They won't waste their time if there is a protector in the way.

Would agree with the 30 seconds. As I said, with ours, they tried it between my wife putting a load of kids stuff into the boot, going back into the house and coming back out with the next load. 30 seconds tops, wheel off but luckilly didn't have time to get it into the car before they scarpered. This was a 19" spare (with the speed restrictions stamped on it), not an alloy to match the others

I've been thinking about this and I'm going to write a letter to Land Rover to express my concern that LR have not rectified this design fault. Surely this is fit for a recall?

Spoke with Dan at Duckworths where I bought mine (old version) and he's going to swap it for the new style anti-theft version, no problems.
