Golf wheel theft in Crown st this morning (Tues): My neighbour's rear wheel was stolen overnight. I saw it when I left for work this morning. They left the nuts on the pavement. They took one wheel and unscrewed the other, but either were disturbed or could not get it off. Sounds like the same guys, and obviously it's proving to be an effective way to make some cash. Marion
