Bentley Flying Spur sitting on bricks
Ouch
 Flying Spur up on bricks in Chelsea.p!ss poor alarm system if the car didn't even notice it was having its wheels nicked.   Looks like somebody has a Bentley locking wheel nut key. They will probably be on an A4 or Golf by now!

I remember walking past a lovely early c class AMG wagon sitting on bricks in Westminster. Must've done a lot of damage underneath as it was missing for many weeks - I doubt the alarm would've even gone off and a £20 tool off eBay will defeat most locking wheel nuts. All you really have to worry about is noise or passing traffic....

If you're not too heavy handed with the jack or wrench, then the car won't spot the movement.
Not going to be cheap to replace those though...

Must be the current trend I guess, fit Bentley wheels onto your VW/Seat/Audi/Skoda. Reminds me of the early beastie boys craze of stealing VW badges, only this is more expensive to fix.

All else besides, you have to admire their economy of effort in just having to use two bricks and no more! Looks safer than my jack was, though.

I went ballistic when some scrote nicked the chromed dust caps off my A8, I can't imagine my reaction if I came back and found it on bricks!
 After looking at these two examples I was thinking if I had the money to buy a car like that I'd be putting up a substantial reward to find the thieves, or at least paying somene to track them down and punish them but I suppose if you buy a car like that and don't invest in some serious security for it you're hardly going to lose sleep over the repair bill for this type of theft. I had a Golf GTi when the Beastie Boys were all the rage. I drove round for ages without badges rather than have someone damage the paintwork removing them with a screwdriver, prevention being better than cure
