Spare Wheel Thief in Livingston Area
Seems the thieving tactic have spread to west lothian. Looks like someone tried to steal mine over the last day or so. I had a look under it on Thursday night to check the rear tyre in prep for swapping my spare MTR in there today. I drop the wheel out and some scrote has attempted to get my wheel. Fresh marks on Uncle Rays wheel cover and on rim of new 19" wheel that was under there.
I'm sure if that was not there then it would have been gone.
If your in West Lothian/Livingston area...beware

Yep they certainly are sir, luckily RAYS goodies were under there. A good enough advert to ensure more business goes RLD's way, and rightly so.

Ade, your more than welcome to drop in and have a look at my undercarriage.
I'm working days all this week but would be in around 7:30pm. It's a top quality bit of kit.

It is a top bit of quality kit. It's a shame I've got to tuck it underneath where it can't be seen ....

And the cost & fitting of a new spare wheel winch cable etc I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
