F*ckin' thieving chavs! First the spoiler goes missing and now all four wheel caps have been nicked! There'll be nothing left at this rate, and it's only just due for its first service!
Next time its a bog-standard Fiesta or it's back to Toyota for us.

Sorry to hear about this. Lots of people have this problem and its a shame you are forced to get something not as nice because of others.
These people don't care and definantly don't have a life. I had my dust caps knicked off mine.

Let us know how you get on

They will steal anything that isn't bolted down, and even when it is they will try!!!

A garage is the only method to try and stop this happening at home.

Having a shock sensor and/or tilt alarm will only alert to them trying to move the vehicle... if they wanted the alloy caps, valve caps it wouldn't knock the car... possibly even the rear spoiler would be the same. In strong wind, doesn't this go off every 5 minutes?

An alarm by help but having it out the way and hidden is the only real way to try to prevent this.

Get a camera and a cliffords alarm. You can set the alarm so it goes off if anything walks within a certain distance of your car. They wouldn't even be able to touch the car before it goes off. You can set it to be really sensitive and although it may annoy you if a cat walked past but i think the sensors are designed to detect larger objects and ignore the small.

Have you not heard about the Drawfs being hidden in luggage so they can climb out in the hold of coaches and planes to raid other bags? Funny at first but very well organised apparently!

As for alarms I had a proximetery sensor and pager on my Toad Ai606 on my last RST, well worth the cash for the piece of mind. I have moved since though and can lock the ST away in the garage every night so have not bother so far with this one.

Really? Wouldn't they freeze to death in the plane's hold? Sounds like an idea for a movie....Dwarves on a plane.
