There were 4 of them - 2 of them sat in a White opal Corsa lite reg CY ..444 - the cops found my wheel nuts on the ground with a ratchet lying under the car . Hopefully they have been caught "red-handed" and will now pay the cost . I am WAY impressed with the police - 2 vans arrived within minutes and this mkorfning I had a sms from the police station with my case number !!! way to go !!

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.
