Audi S4 - Stolen Spare Wheel - parkean

This weekend I noticed my spare wheel had been stolen. The only place it has been since it's MOT last year, where they had my keys while I was not with the car (the wheel is in the boot - keys essential), was either the Audi Garage that serviced it, or Gatwick Valet parking. The parking was the "official" Gatwick airport parking and the check in/out form does not mention spare wheels as part of the check, but no doubt says they are not responsible for anything.

Any ideas as to my chances of getting compensation from one of these places, or how I should go about it? I can't be the only one who has had a wheel stolen from them. I use the parking regularly and I don't see anybody checking for a missing spare when they collect cars, and noone really looks until they need it - which as in my case, was months after.

Sorry to be blunt, but you don't know who or when your spare was nicked. There's not a chance anyone would pay out on the grounds it might have happened in their care.

Nor would their insurer reimburse them.

I have to agree with sp. There's no hope of compensation from either of the parties you mention.

Could you buy a replacement wheel from e bay,that would cut the cost of your replacement ,that's probably where yours was sold.

At the risk of appearing sarcastic may I say that I would have thought you might have noticed the wheel was missing when carrying out your monthly check of fluid levels and tyre pressures.
