The Spare Wheel And Aerial Both Stolen

I purchased my Vauxhall Zafira about two months ago, the spare wheel was present and it had never been used.
A couple of days ago I noticed what I thought was a cable hanging just below the rear of the car, when I got down to look it was a safety link that would stop the cradle falling to the ground that I could see but the spare wheel was missing.

I have no idea where or when the wheel was taken but a week or so ago the aerial went missing, could that have been a sign to perhaps other members of a gang that my car had already been targeted?

The Zafira is a good all round family car

Based on the Vauxhall Astra chassis, there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, such as the general driving ride and the quality of the car as a whole.

There have been a few problems that general users have seen with the cars, such as:

• The engine cutting out when idle.
• The In car radio not functioning correctly.
• A squeaking noise from the brakes after only 10,000 miles or so use.
• Spare wheel thefts.
• A necessity to keep refilling the oil on diesel models (1 litre every thousand miles or so).
• Small storage space.
• Strange engine noises which can not be located or fixed.

Saying this, however. The car is very practical and does have some very good points. The innovative ?Flex 7? seating system makes it very easy to switch the car from 5 to 7 seats without too much hassle.

Other nice features include easy access to the car thanks to the wide opening doors, ideal for families with small children, and an anti-stall device. Designed to stop the car from stalling a low revs.

The car is generally very good and although a minority of owners have had some problems, it represents extremley good value for money and provides a great means of getting the whole family from one place to another.
