Spare Wheel Stolen! How Though??

....on my driveway! Speechless!

How the hell have they done it?! I thought you need to wind it from inside the car to lower it down?

To save you trawling through posts, drop Dan @ Duckworths a line, he'll have all the required bits to get you up and running again; winch cable (being the new MY12 winch - slightly harder to get at apparently) and spare.
I think's Dan's done a fair few replacements on here for people.

Then gets yourself one of RLD's protectors ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

So far a £250.00 spend plus i need to pay for the RLD WINNER - 2009 Best in Class Range Rover Sport Award

Well if you kept upto date on the forum we could of saved you all the time, expense and the hassel. This has been posted soooo many times now and as usual, for some reason, people seem to think it won't happen to them.

If my spare got nicked I wouldn't bother replacing it. Just get LR assist out and sit back

While RLD is a good deterrent, even that probably doesn't guarantee 100% protection if the scum is really determined. I would start parking the rear of the car close to a wall wherever possible, in addition to fitting RLD. Just make access a tad more difficult for them.

Jonny I thought that but thinking about it... The first thing LR Assist will want to do is pop the spare wheel on for you... DOH! Otherwise it means being towed and not getting to wherever you were heading to WINNER - 2009 Best in Class Range Rover Sport Award
