    This is not just about references to monkeys or baboons. Alongside these references (which I agree in some contexts people overreact to and may prematurely shout "racist"), there were blatant racist comments. Let me be more specific: Comments like the above are completely unacceptable.

    Chukky and andydude - lets not continue to derail this thread. Start a PM conversation or new thread if you want to nitpick.

    It hurts! But a lesson all round.

    Not specified - and I knew it needed to be, just one of those things I never got around to adding.

    Mine uses used a little metal key - same key for the outer clamp nut and the towbar fixing mechanism. Personally I've never put too much faith in the lockable clamp and always used cable bike lock as a backup.... but that was always locked to the rack itself. I'd imagine it's far more difficult to work the rack off the towbar with bikes attached - I've tried it with the rack unlocked and with more that 1 bike it's tricky.

    Mod note: A few comments have been removed. This is not the place for a religious debate - lets keep this positive thread on track.

    I had noticed mine was a little loose on the Saturday before it found legs. Going over speed bumps it has a slight rattle - presumably a loose on the tow ball, but I've had this before after dirt road trips and just had to tighten the adjuster knob to get a snugger fit on the tow ball. Made me wonder if they were not able to loosen that adjuster just enough to work it off the tow ball? Or if they'd attempted to lift it the night before and came back the next night with some tools or muscle. Now that I think back, I've had an attempted rack theft before. Parked at the airport over a weekend, coming back to find the rack skew and the electrical socket unplugged. Clearly that time the rack won. This won't stop me from getting the same Thule rack again, it's a great product, but will certainly be more vigilant about where I leave it in future. In any case with bikes on the back I don't leave it unattended anywhere for long periods, no matter how many locks in place.

    Hi Hubbers, Unfortunately my prized Thule EuroWay 3 bike carrier was stolen off the back of my car on Sunday night (25 May 2014) while parked in an open driveway in Sandpiper Road, Tableview. It was locked onto the towball, but seems they either had enough time or the tools to remove it. If anyone happens to spot one for sale please let me know, but more so if you have a similar model watch out if parking in a publicly accessible spot overnight. The lock I'd assumed was pretty solid was easily and quietly dealt with. Thanks, Matt
