How common is stealing wheels? I have a spare alloy sitting in the tray of my
old ute, instead of bolted in the carrier underneath, and nobody stole in in 8 years.

Maybe 10 years ago somebody stole the wheels (with wheel-locks) off her
car sitting in her carport. 1988 Cadillac, doesn't seem that they would
have been worth the trouble. So much for the value of wheel-locks.
