What absolute knobs.

There is cctv there but it's all dependant on where it's parked as its pretty big car park.

Tossers.  :fighting:

Is there a particular locking wheel nut that is more secure than others?

Thats just wrong on all levels :fighting:. Ive always felt with locking wheel bolts that there must be a fail-safe way of removing them so the scum just use these and your powerless

Starting to see more of these from time to time :fighting:  :sick:

Are most of these cases where the locking wheel nut is found and the wheels are gracefully removed, or do they just drill through?

Also worrying to think some fairly boggo Scirocco wheels are of interest to thieves (assuming they were fairly standard judging by the cars appearnce and spec from the front)   :confused:  :stupid:

To be honest most the time now back windows get smashed :fighting:

Were do most people leave there locking wheel nut? In the kit in the boot, thief's know this too, they don't think twice to just smash the window use the wheel nut key that's in the back and job done, happened all the time at vw when I worked there,  since that my wheel nut stays in the house
Need to try and stall them for as long as poss, 

Utter utter scum, this is why insurance companies are shafting everyone left right and centre
