Missing wheel nuts
Washed and detailed the car on saturday (so it's looking all bufty
) all wheel nuts present and correct. Looked out the kitchen window at the car last night and 2 of the front offside wheel nuts weere missing.
one of which is the locking nut
.
not had the wheels off the front for months so it's not a case that i've had the wheels off a few days ago and forgotten to do them up properly. so a trip to halfrauds on the way home tonight to get some more locking nuts.

that's what i was thinking. a couple of the nuts were loose on the other side as well.
i've got cctv on the car, but i tape over the previous night unless i notice something wrong with the car. but yesterday i had the camera taping during the day. next door's kids had a few friends round and were out the front playing near the car. thought that if they hit the car with a football or something i'd be able to get them for it. guess i should have put a different tape in.
reason why i've got the camera is because someone tried to nick my rs turbo when i had it. i might start putting a sign in the car at night letting them know they're on camera.

yeah i might get 7 tapes sorted out and use one for each day of the week. that way i'll have a weeks worth to go back over should anything happen.
sign will go in toinght. might have it reading "Smile, you're on Camera. The owner will be out shortly with a large baseball bat and a bad temper!"

is it really too expensive just to buy the bloody things? If you aren't taking the wheels off for a while its worth getting a tyre fitters to machine them tight for you. I put my flaps on last weekend and bugger me the wheels were on tight from the last tyre change in February.
