Not thats its a huge loss, but while on the water today, some asshat stole my spare wheel.
It was bolted to the trailer, was a rusty old thing but served its purpose. Guess ill have to take to chaining it to the trailer now.

Where was that dude?

[Starovich]

crosshouse quays under the itchen bridge.

I've heard of that happening, as well as having running wheels taken. On the odd report, just the lug nuts.

Sorry to hear it's international.

The thieving barstewards, I always keep mine in the boot because I never got round to buying and fitting a clamp. I think that I will carry on keeping it in the boot from now on.

[Jizm]

Could have been worse. I got back to crosshouse once and the trailer had been pinched.

[CJL]

RYA had all of these nicked at one event a while back. If you look they now have clamps on the spares!

Count yourself lucky. Often people remove the spare wheel in order to steel your trailer. They remove the wheel with the lock, fit the spare and away they go!

Thats something I have never thought about but yes it is so obvious now that you have mentioned it.

Its a wonder that the insurance companies have not cottoned on to this yet.
Its gotta be a lot better keeping your spare in your car boot then.

Which is why a lock that covers all the wheel nuts is a good idea.

Indeed, however not all "insurance approved" locks offer this feature. So some people tend to be oblivious to the fact they are providing the thief with an easy solution

What size is it?

I've got two spares and have had one for sale for ever. You're welcome to one if its the same size.

[Ian M]

And whilst the chances of it fitting are remote, I have a very good condition mini wheel that has been in my shed for ages which you are welcome to if it is any use.

Thanks, ill go look in the morning.

So why don't we leave a trailer and wait for the bastards,give them a good slap.

[John Kennett]

Because being in prison really limits your boating opportunities.

[HUMBER P4VWL]

We've had the winch handle taken in the past. Bloody annoying.

[Low Flyer]

I can think of another good use for a winch handle,if we bow down to these scum bags we will not have boats left to go boating,plod are too busy chasing people dropping litter etc.
