Stolen spare wheel!

Was walking back to my Disco 3 today and noticed the spare wheel missing! STOLEN!
Can't believe someone managed to steal it - how can they do that?

Anyone help with where I need to go to buy a new spare wheel and tyre?

How is it stolen? Do I need to buy something else to stop it happening again?

Thanks

You were brave having it up on axle stands. It looks very precarious.

Ray,
Can you do a version with rubber edges and a live feed connector? Could be a good seller to those who park in inner-city & station car-parks.

Hi ajw23

Bad luck!

I have a space saver for sale (never been used) if you'd like it. You can gurantee that no-one will steal it!

I'm in Cardiff so probably no good for you.
