It would appear that someone has stolen them there wheels. Unfortunately this is a common occurence.
And the point of this thread is?

Low-life bastards.
Regarding lock-nuts, they're much easier to get around than most people think.

So keep an eye out for a beige VN with 2 calais wheels and 2 stockies...
At least they left it on bricks, someone left a car at work sitting on the brakes, with a jack crushed underneath... but that was a VS

I thought all new commos with factory rims came standard with locknuts? my VX has locknuts standard and has plastic caps that sit over all the nuts, i wonder how they managed to get around them?
I got the locknuts on my stockies at the moment:P

If they had lock nuts from the factory that would make it even easier for thieves to know what to expect. I would argue the best defense is not parking the car on the street if possible.

Locknuts dont do a thing. I lost the locknut key from my old EA, i managed to get them off no worries. Ive also lost the locknut key from the BA but once again, no worries ill get them off when i need to

Waking up in the morning ready for work would have sucked for that person.
So is there any type of lock nuts that you cant get around unless you have a key? Matt |

Poor guy, I saw a Blueprint BA XR6 on bricks at mitcham (maybe nunawading, I can't remember) station once while I was on the train, must have happened during broad day light too, train stations suck.

Wow, what significant relevance this has to e-series...
Atleast call it, "what will happen to your e-series if you buy good rims..." Everyone laughs when i tell them i choose stockies...I'm sure the crooks are laughing right now....
