I found the pic but not the thread:



I got side-tracked and was on the focusst website. All I'm gonna say is I'm glad I didn't get an RS or ST. They seem to be hot property for thieves - homes broken into, people being carjacked or threatened at knifepoint or mugged.

Really sorry to hear of your bad luck. I'd be gutted

I reckon it's worth hiding these locking wheel nuts apart.
They may smash a window to try and find it but i'd rather have that than the car left with no wheels with brake discs and floor pan left damaged.

Got to make life difficult for these to$$ers!

Feel for you mate - not just for being a forest fan of course but due to whats happened.

I went through a similar thing a few years back now - car parked at the dealers, they had it for a few days to diagnose a fault so was locked in the back - in fact in Nottingham too!




Nicked all the Nav system, including changer and control unit even!  must have taken them a while to get it out.  All 5 wheels went - spare being an alloy due to the brembo's on the front.

Not the best phone call from the dealer when they told me this, then later was told its not covered on their insurance .. but thats a whole new story.

Hope you get it all sorted.

Neg - dont mean to be nosy but please tell me they paid up  :surprised:

I had a highly modded vr stolen from a garage as they broke the shutters open - used in an armed robbery and still had guns in the car when it was found by the Feds. Bleedin tossers.

Sorry to hear it Candyman as its just hassle for you.

I dont think they did in the end, came off insurance - a good couple of grand to sort, the wheels alone where over £1k with tyres.  They discounted the wheels mind you ... gee thanks!

It was a company car so didnt effect me too badly, still pretty pissed at their attitude to it.  Needless to say I never went back there.

That's terrible! Did you not speak to SEAT HQ?

I would have at least expected the dealer to reimburse me for the excess and the additional premium rise due to claiming for at least the next few years. You should not have had to pay a penny!

I noticed that this topic is a little out of date but had a close run-in in a pub car-park last week. surprisingly in a nice area. All my wheel nuts apart from the locking nuts were loose. obviously i didn't realize and drove off! had been driving for a while until noticed the nocking noise, took it to the dealer to get it checked over. all is fine but now i'm thinking this could me more common than i originally thought. Does everyone have 2 different locking nuts? im thinking of buying a second set. what is everyone running? just something to keep the chavs away! gutting to hear about all these nice cars! blooming pikeys!
