Since I have never seen a spare tire and mount along the thousands of mile I have traveled, but have had things stolen, I will disagree with the folks who go along with the "It must have fallen off" theory. Two minutes with a nine sixteenths wrench and the spare changed owners.
Agree, hard to believe a spare along with it's mounting bracket could have simply fallen off and the OP not noticed. Likewise how could the OP not have noticed the spare & bracket was missing before he left the campground? One of my cardinal rules is to
always do a quick walk around my rig before jumping in the truck to make sure everything as it should be - no forgotten chocks, all doors locked, TV antenna down, etc, etc. Had the OP done this he wouldn't have ended up in this surprise predicament - flat tire and no spare. :R
