Picasso spare wheel thefts

Post by tonyg »

Hi
This message is from my sister who has a new Picasso (it's not hydro-pneumatic but still quirky enough to be OK). Very strangely there seems to be a burgening market for pinching Picasso spare wheels in west London and I'm not talking flash rubber and alloys. Just the bog standard wheel and steel wheel. So does anyone have an effective way of securing Picasso spares? Of course it does happen if the car is a sinking Citroen.

Speak to your local Citroen dealer - they do 2 types of security kit for underslung spare wheels. This problem has been around for years on earlier cars which use the same cage and hook on a threaded bar to secure the spare under the car

The toe-rags in Leeds are veven worse. They have taken to stealing spare wheels from cars where they are stored under the boot floor (not on a cradle). They do this by smashing the rear window and climbing in to boot, chucking out anything that is in their way.
It's the tyre they are after, one alloy wheel isn't much use anyway.
