So, out to the car this morning and some scrote has stolen the tow bar access cover.

Frustrating that there is no way to stop it being nicked. Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4

You could make it slightly harder to steal by cable tieing it on as well as clipping it, would require cutters or a knife which the scrote may not have with them.

Are you sure the cover didn't just fall off? Mine is on a green lane somewhere

Unfortunat;y not. It was there last night on the drive, I wonder if they took it off to get to the spare wheel, as we leave the car in access mode

Fortunatly I have RLDs spare wheel protector fitted Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4

Mine hasn't been fitted for years. Previous owner (or garage) had stuck it on with some form of black glue. Took a bit of removing and don't see the point of getting one as it gets removed to tow etc. One less thing for the scrotes to steal too. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Dog chewed mine when he found it in the boot. I have a fixed towbar so never used to put it on & now I'll never use it again
