Keep an eye out on ebay and gumtree for them, also alert the local scrapyard as the culprits may just weight them in.

Are theses guys removing locking wheel nuts or just chancers???

A friend with a dubious past said these are the only type of locking wheel bolts he couldn't remove, in fact to quote 'Anything else was EASY'.

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?
