Stolen 12 spokes

Some delightful person removed three 12 spoke wheels from my drive this weekend. I had swapped them off my car on the saturday as the tyres were getting low, legal but low and left them "hidden" behind a car but some opportunist has spotted them! I had the 4th one in my boot so I still have it along with the centre caps. Pretty unusual looking (tread) 225/50x16 Roadstone N2000 rotational tyres on them, i have an OS one left so two NS and one OS missing. They may well get weighed in after they discover they dont fit on their 1 litre Saxo but i'm keeping an eye out on ebay, gumtree etc as well as putting the word round the village in the hope they are stupid enough to stick them up for sale. So as they are only really going to fit a Scorpio or Mondeo (without changing the tyres) I thought I'd stick a post up on the site in the hope someone sees THREE 12 spokes for sale. I'm not desperate to have the wheels back but I would like to find out who took them

Sorry to hear than Stuart....Some people will nick anything if it isn't bolted down Maybe they only wanted 3 wheels.... HERE . . I would have posted the pic, but for some reason, photobucket 'IMG code' for this pic won't transfer. Just comes up with this box.... Works with 'Direct Link' though (obviously)

Thanks for that Dave, I knew I could rely on your superior intellect to solve the problem ......But any idea why it has to be a lower case 'img' & why photobucket assigns it an upper case 'IMG' ?

| Usually the operating systems that host web sites are case sensitive. Whereas an IBM PC isn't. Don't know why photobucket should insist on IMG unless they're being deliberately awkward
