Stolen Wheel

My wife returned to her Forrester this after noon to find the front wheel missing and a bucket holding the car up, even though you could clearly see a child seat in the car.
Nobody in the Wilsons car park in Bondi Junction saw a thing. They did leave four of the wheel nuts and by proping the car up with a steel bucket, avoided any damage to the car, how nice of them.
How would I get one new wheel, it's the one with the circle design and that's not me trying to be funny...honestly.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Just look at it this way, you haven't lost a wheel - you've gained a bucket.

Is A LOT faith in a steel bucket!
Wreckers, Gumtree, here, ebay, Subaru (if you lots of cash lying around!).
Wreckers would be better option - more likely to have a car with incomplete sets as a result of the crash

Who does this shit ??
I bet someone saw it but just thought it was someone changing their flat tyre
I'd tell your insurance people.. they will be able to replace it for you and I'd recommend you buy (or get the insurance to pay for them) a set of lock nuts so it doesn't happen again

There is a place in WA called "Mr Mag". They specialise in stocking huge amounts of secondhand wheels and selling incomplete sets and individual wheels. Long shot but might be worth sending them a photo of one of yours and seeing if they have one. It's cheap to freight wheels around Australia.
