How about expanding to what region in the country did the theft happen.
I know a few people that own RRS's and nobody has had their's or even heard of wheels being stolen.

Soon will be, the FFRR Westminster stores the spare wheel inside the boot so not accessible from outside. Rolling with laughter

What's involved in stealing one? Do they just cut the cable and away they go?

Yes Ballsy,

They cut the wire that supports the wheel... so you not only have to replace your wheel, you also need a new spare wheel holder

We need a location on this poll as well as yes or no... the thefts seam to be postcode specific hense why I've not bothered to do mine Whistle RRS gone

I've bought and fitted a wheel protector. For the sake of £60 and 5 minutes work I'm hoping never to find that, at the moment I need the spare, it's been nicked. That and the hassle / expense of replacing it.

Oh, and it supports a UK-based small business Thumbs Up Rolling with laughter 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
