Spare wheel theft?
« on: March 05, 2011, 05:56:51 PM »
Is there a problem with the theft of camper trailer spare tyres?  Do any of you lock your spare wheel?

Yes, like most we have a padlock through the studs, will only keep the honest thieves away though, like anything if they want it they will get it, bastards ;D

hi,
if they want it they will get it, even if you have it locked on (mine has a bike chain and padlock on it).
whats to stop them jacking up and taking of one thats not the spare, actually on the trailer (I chain thru the wheel and chassis when we pull up in an attempt to stop th etheft of the whole trailer,
whatever you do you will only keep the honest theive away..........
cheers
