Attempted spare wheel theft.

Was under the D4 today changing the wheels over to put my winters on and noticed this damage:










Someone has cut through one of the spokes to try and get at the cable.
Thankfully I had one of Ray's protectors fitted so they didn't get very far.
No damage to the wheel and I can live with the damage to the cover.
There was no damage to the wheel protector so I think they just gave up when they couldn't get to the cable.
I would have loved to have seen the look on their faces as they realised they had been beaten!
Not sure where it happened but the car has been parked at both Heathrow and Gatwick recently.
A big thank you to Uncle Ray, you are a legend Thumbs Up

Shocked I trust you have reported this attempted theft to the 'old bill' - the more thats reported the more we should get 'protection/funding' - its all about numbers...... Thumbs Up

Its the only way to get your old bill on the streets.... report everything, sadly its all about numbers/crime figures. Nothing reported means its a 'No Crime Area' - hence you get nothing.... the crims have a field day!!.....

I live in a high crime area and there's still no old bill on the streets... not sure that theory works.
