Lost your spare tire?
 

I was crawling around underneath my truck as I find myself doing more and more often these days, and I noticed something.

My spare tire was missing. The only evidence of there even being one there is the frayed bit of cable that used to hold it in place. I could have sworn it was there when I got the truck, and I sure as hell haven't used it. My question is:

Has anyone else experienced this phenomina? If it did indeed break loose during a trip into town, I dearly hope it didn't take a negative bounce and collide with a sub compact full of children.

Spareless in Seattle.

Mine is still there and it is the original from when i bought it knew. I would say someone stole it before it was factory defect.
