Post by: smo on March 15, 2007, 22:03:39

Does anyone know where i can hire/borrow a wheel clamp from sat/sunday to tuesday/weds as i'm borrowing my bosses car trailer and am worried about it being nicked!

I'm in Poole, Dorset if that helps :)

Take all the wheels off it.  My mate's now has 3 wheel locks and 2 hitchlocks.

And it's in a caravan yard :!:

No matter how many locks and gates you put stuff like this behind, there's always one key that will open any lock: a Pi-key.

I agree with everyone, get that thing secure. Wheels off and hidden away and chain it to something immovable.

go buy a length of chain from b&Q and a big padlock then secure it to something.
Leave it blocked in behind another car if you can, and if it has a lock on the hitch, leave it attached to the car and locked on!.
