Hi all , i'm after some information and pictures please .

First, i have a Nemesis wheel clamp ( can be seen in my profile pictures , top picture ) , i remember someone on here saying they could easily remove it when locked onto the wheel , please could that person email me and explain how the clamp can be removed as i'd like to try and find a way to prevent this . Please don't post the explaination on here .

Second , if you use a wheel clamp could you tell me what make / model you use , pictures would be great.

Third , i'm after some pictures of the Alko secure wheel lock , pictures looking behind the wheel at the receiver and pin that fits into it .

So why am i asking for this information .
I'm hoping to find out what are the most popular wheel clamps so i can work out a way of protecting them from attack by oxy acetylene .

Please send all replies to my email address below .

Thanks Wizard

I have the nemesis, and as long as the clamp (Jaw) is fitted correctly. I would think it would be very difficult to remove.

Simple, keep a tray of petrol under it & blow them sky high when they go near it with their oxy acetylene.

Or fit a sprinkler system above it.

Any wheelclamp could be burnt off with an oxy/acetylene cutting torch. It don't matter how tough the steel is, it can still be melted.

How about an inner core of a material that reacts to heat by producing thick red, choking smoke? And no, I've no idea what material could do that!

Failing that stick a stick of dynamite in tube attached to the clamp & when they try cutting it off it blows em away aswell lol (& yes i know it'll blow the caravan away aswell but at least you'd have taken a thieving scumbag with it lol)

All you need to do is fit two small smoke detectors by the wheels, that is wired to your alarm, also handy if you have left the hand brake on while driving down the road.

 If possible,try making a clamp out of metal tubing then fill the tube with concrete. The concrete is not only almost impossible to cut with oxy/acetylene, it explodes when heated sending small pieces of concrete flying. It also lets off quite a few loud cracks and bangs too.

A thief has the upperhand if he wants to get your caravan. He knows every make's weakness. The best deterant is to fit an alarm that can't be seen and if the van is moved it trips. A murcury switch is the best iv'e seen.When the van is moved the murcury completes the circuit and bingo. I fitted one under my van, attatched to masserati airhorns,you could hear it for miles. The potensual thief had already ground off the arm of the wheelclamp in seconds I was told by a witness who heard the grinder.There isn't a wheelclamp on the market that can't be taken off without a key, all that is needed is time and the dark.Some just take longer than others.
