At work this morning, had my transport manager come in to tell us that when all drivers check their vehicles to make sure that all wheel nuts are there and tight....some stupid idiot(s) have gone round our vehicles over night stealing all the wheel nuts they can get off! 
He told me to go out to the workshop n have a look, and one of our long wheel base transit minibus's which carry's up to 3 wheelchair passengers was on the ramp, with 4 of the 5 wheelnuts missing...and only the locking wheel nuts left intact!! just thank god that it was noticed!!! how disgusting is that!!

total shite what they have done.
could you guys fit torque indicators to the wheel nuts at all then with a quick glance you can see if the nuts have been loosened of at all.
used to be a pre use vehicle check for me when I drove 7.5t motors.
