Saturday Evening 01/04/06 My Brand New S2 alloys were stolen in their boxes. Later the boxes were found in a nieghbours garden.
So if anyone is offered brand new wheels without boxes or sees such items advertised anywhere please let me know especially if the seller is from the N.E. of England
Cheers Mike

I wouldn't count it out.
I wonder if the buyer will answer emails anymore.
Pretend nothing happened and see if the buyer answers . . .

time for a sting operation:
Sy puts some Elan wheels up for sale, sells to the same user, then puts them in the shed and sits in there with shotgun full of rock salt pellets.
Bastards arrive to get wheels and Sy says, "don't mess with LEC members" as he pulls the trigger . . .

Rock salt is for wimps (although it does sting a bit) I was thinking more along the lines of a claymore

, Sy won't even have to stay up late.
Mike really sorry about that, unlikely they will reappear on E bay then.

Tossers,
dont think Sy will do the rock salt thing (too whimpish).
More like:

Oop's sorry Mr post man
I too will keep my eyes pealed for the alloys. In fact I may even put an advert out for some 'mint S2 wheels'.
