been down to my mound of wheels at the bottom of my garden today to find 14 wheels missing, they are as follows: 4 rial 6x15" 4x100 ET13 cross spoke (bbs style) all without tyres and all in process of having the rims polished (like this except 4 stud)  4 scabby Nissan primera 15's with worn out tyres like this  2 allycat/bbs style branded 100+ cross spokes in 13x6 4x101 (Mini) pcd ET13 (this is one of the remaining ones)  4 rial 5 spokes 14" with ok pirelli p6000 tyres (I think)  I'm not really bothered to much about the Nissan wheels other than they might lead me to the others, none were particularly expensive but my brother will be rather p*ssed off when he realises he will have to use his rostyles on his midget. Most of all I'm annoyed that my garden is not the safe haven I had naively grown to believe. |

Really sorry to hear that  If you haven't done it already, get in contact with the local scrap metal merchants, as there is a good chance they've been nicked to weigh in, as thats about £70 worth without having to mess around trying to find out what they are off for the thieves etc. Will keep my eyes peeled on Ebay also  |

Thanks for the hint,
I will try the local scrappy but what makes me think they were nicked to sell on is that apart from the 1 pair of wheels they took the only 3 full (undamaged) "sets" there (there were also some others they didn't take which were already without tyres which for obvious reasons are more favorable for scrap metal)
Unfortunately they obviously had a bit of time and probably some daylight to ascertain what was best to nick which is worrying. I'm starting to think it was maybe a courier who came in the day realised no one was in and had the added advantage of a van to hand (14 wheels aren't small)
I will keep looking on swagbay myself at wheels selling in my local area.

just thought id bring this back up because I'm just down the road in cheltenham and a while ago i had about 8 alloys with tyresstolen from my garden too.
nothing worth anything barring scrap value, but i wanted em still.
was a load of travellers with a 7.5ton truck.
seems they were going door to door collecting scrap and helped themselves to my alloys as nobody was home.
the old biddy neigbours saw em but didnt think anything of it...
