I had seven wheels with tyres stolen from my house this week on Tuesday 11th at 5:30 pm in the Ipswich area. They were all loaded into a vehicle at that time and may well have been taken to the Cambridge area.

The wheels were all standard BMW 15" alloys from a 325. Two or three of them were still silver, but the rest where all partially stripped with paint stripper - the paint on those was more yellow and blistered as a result. So they'd certainly need a refurb to clean them up.

Five of the tyres were Dunlop SP Sport 9000 205/55ZR15, of which four had only done a few hundred miles and the other was unused. The other two tyres were other makes and had no tread left.

In addition, there was also a red Sealey engine stand stolen.

I thought I'd mention them on here in case anyone comes across them.

Thanks.

I'll keep a look out, had 4 of my Saab wheels nicked few months ago by those "scrap dealers" who cruise round in shagged Transits looking for metal from anywhere, fortunately the tyres were knackered and the wheels were virtually worthless.

What makes you think they're heading towards Cambridge?

Cambridge because the bloke I believe to be responsible for taking them lives over that way.

Have you involved the police?
