Spare Tire

[jjo]

What do you guys use to secure your spare tire so it won't be stolen? An externally-mounted spare seems like it would be a prime target for theft.

Should have come with a lock or two on it from the dealer. Atleast mine did. Keep the key in the glove box. If not, invest in some.

All the dealers around here use a keyed lug nut. And put the key with jack or in the glove box. Some people have worried about a thief removing bracket and all though, with that determination, I don't think they can be stopped.
