Stolen spare

TheJoker said:

In most cases, the stock spare is an identical wheel and tire (depending on model yr). I'm guessing that it's worth about $500?

Rim: $300-500
New spare carrier assembly: $210
New tire: $300
Labour: 1 hour at ~$100

So I'm looking at the best part of $1000 just to sort this out.

I'm guessing they cut the cable. Hence why you need a new carrier assembly. Will insurance cover any of this? Can you get used parts to lower your cost.

My $500 estimate was for just the wheel and tire.

Yeah cable was cut, insurance is coving all minus deductible ($250) need to check with the adjuster that this won't affect my premium. If the estimate comes back reasonably priced I may pay out of pocket.

I hate thieves !!!!

In totally unrelated news I have a spare tire for sale now

So I was out walking the dog and saw the neighbor leave in his truck (platinum f-150) and also noticed that it looks like his spare was missing too. I'll swing by later and ask if he knows. Looks like they may have had a productive night.

Sucks to hear... If you planned to come to the meet on saturday, Todd and Keith both some decent and cheap DIY cable lock setups you can eye up

Damn thieves, we need to start cutting off limbs of thieves as punishment like they do in the middle east.

Besides the lock anti-theft, which one are you recommending?
