I notice that the phantom collector of wheel covers is alive & well in Dalby.

This is bloody ridiculous and happening to often,maybe for a few extra bucks Dave might be able to have your Number Plate number embedded on the cover as well (custom)..Plus you'll see it above a 6x4 trailer,also if it falls off just put it in the nearest cop station.. lol

I know what if this or that but i think it outweighs idiots knocking them off..

just a suggestion...

G'day Warfer,

What about a smallish dye bomb in the cover with a transponder in the owners vehicle. When the thief gets into his/her vehicle (or set distance away) the dye bomb detonates leaving him/her and their vehicle a nice day-glo pink.

Then again, could just go the small slab of metabel/C4........

Hey watch it, it wasn't me. Besides, I haven't been to Dalby for nearly 2 years.

Why would anyone steal something like that? It's like stealing someone's name tag.

I have lost 4 in the last 6 months when my wife is parked in shopping centres.
I have now put a eyelet in the vinyl near the elastic band with a small chain and lock so when they rip off the cover they destroy the cover and it's no use to them.

I know this sounds pathetic but this is what society in Sydney has come to in some places.
I guess I should be happy, at least they leave the Tojo and don't do any damage so far.

I think the idea of printed rego numbers on them is a good idea.

John
