Dear friends
I'm brand new to the forum and thought I'd add a couple of my own experiences whilst enjoying reading all the useful posts.
I had my spare wheel & tyre stolen and believe it was gone some time before I noticed as the cradle was still in place so I could have been stuck if I'd had a puncture.
I believe the thief deflated the tyre (possibly just cut the valve off) until it was slim enough to be loose in the cradle. I managed to replace it via an online breaker (hope not repurchasing my own!) and since then I have stowed it valve upwards in the cradle to deter access.
Anyone else had this happen?
Steve
