How many people put locks nuts on standard wheels? How many of you put lock nuts on your company car?

$3K is the replacement value through Holden more then likely, they were probably only 18s.

Why anyone would steal them, well, thieves are odd.

When did she get a Holden as a car to be driven around in? I thought she got driven around in a turbo-diesel Chrysler 300C? That's what she was in when she arrived at a function I was at a few months ago.

It took all my strength not to boo her when she walked on stage.

I don't know why but this story and the car at home made me think of the movie "The Wog Boy" and the woman Raelene and her penchant for her chauffeurs.
I've had very little sleep.

If Anna's touched 'em, the tyres will probably have blown out by now or thrown a tread..

Yes I'm sure she will lose sleep knowing that tax payer money will be used to buy rims and tyres at OEM manufacturer costs.

Um you do realise it wasnt HER car?
And irrespective of whos car it was..... stealing is stealing.
How many times have we seen or heard about peoples cars being stripped of parts and or wheels?

At the end of the day, if the car was a government car, the taxpayer/ insurance company foots the bill.
