Keith-thanks for the help this morning. A trip to crappytire, 2 m10 nuts, a tube of super glue gel and some ingenuity has solved the problem until the americans finish their holiday and get back to the warranty dept.

One guy came in and said that someobody had bolt cuttered his rear wheel spokes to get at the hub + cranks.
Meaning the theif had to be carrying
1) 15mm wrench
2) 8 mm hex
3) Crank puller
4) bolt cutter
Really sucked to be that guy. Even proper lockup technique sometimes just isn't enough.
