Keep a eye out on ebay for some poping up in your area or if on anyones car round where you live. Wots the world coming to when nothing is safe.

I will do mate, they're building right behind my house now. Police suggested that maybe someone working on site saw me putting them in there.

Nothing else was taken so it was the wheels that they went for, I live in a quiet corner of a nice estate that no-one has any reason to go down :undecided:

It could well be someone on site, you could go see the site agent see if they have any camera or security on that you could check with. Hope you find the c#nt that did it.

b@stards.  It's not just the wheels as well, the tyres are probably like another £400 alone  :sad:

They do look sweet on my car though!

One thing I learned doing window cleaning is you can get away with murder.

Literally going through gardens and houses, nobody in most of the time and clambering through gardens to get to houses.

There was some MK6 .:R alloys on someone's drive once, had some others fitted on the car and if I was a thief, they would have been gone.

Yeah, I can imagine mate. They'd only been off the car a few days and nothing else has gone so they were clearly targeted.

Mate, check Gumtree too.

All over it, if they try and sell them in any of the usual places I'll see it :afro:

I'm going to speak to the site manager about it tomorrow, they don't have any cctv that I'm aware of though :sad:

That's it, I've spent close to £500 on them in the last couple of months in tyres/refurb costs :angry:

Just to show you how close the scaffolding is to my fence:

Yeah, I want them in 18" though which is the hard bit, I've messaged Venom Motorsport who are UK supplier for Rotiform now about it because they only list 17"

Looks like a good deal...

Yeah, not a bad price but I'm after 18's really. Cheers anyway :afro:

Get on with the neighbours really well, I'd bet my house on it not being them.

The only other possibility that I can think of is someone to do with Temple Alloys. They were being really awkward about re-doing the wheels, to the point that I threatened them with small claims court. The next day the wheels are stolen at the very same time their Facebook page disappears :undecided:
