last nite spare wheel stolen from my wifes prado,i didnt hear a bloody thing,rang toyota to get new one 1200 bucks,thats what happens when cost of living increases,e.g petrol.anyway be carefull out there,thats why a spare tyre should be in the boot or bolted to the bottem of the car/4wd.going to make a claim through insurance,then of course the policy will go up.cant win.cheers gts082.

One of my mates has a landcruiser, and he makes sure his spare is always an old worn tyre (almost on the limit) to deter the crims. |
Cheers,
Mick
