I decide to park my car outside my house on the road for half an hour instead of my garage, and some thieving tea leaf has nicked all my valve caps off my wheels. I know its a bunch of kids nicking them for their bmx's cos i've caught them before. I'm just gonna have to buy a new set and park my car in my garage at all times. :flaming::flaming::flaming:

Swines!!!
The even more annoying thing is when you have specially coated ones that perfectly match your alloys - and they steal them even though a set of normal chrome or coloured ones are only a few quid at the Motor factors.........
I had the ones that match my Oz wheels taken off my CRX, then a friend visiting in his Prelude had his annodised blue ones taken......
I think the CCTV Camera pointing at the driveway is the only answer!!! (Facility to scare them stupid when you confront them, and then reveal you have video evidence...... should deter them from doing it to someone else!)

The CCTV camera is not the only answer UV. I can think of many many other ways of preventing theiving little ****s from stealing. Most of them are very painfull indeed!
I think a revolving drum of aftershave coated razor blades should be compulsary for all tea leaf's:D:o:D

I've had that problem. i had 3 sets of caps taken from my TSW FLY alloys on my current car (mitsubishi colt, its my first car anyways). they only nick them from outside the chipie so now when im workin i put the car in the drive and let Simba( dnt be fooled by the name, he's a 9 stone 18month old rotweiler) look after it. Guess wot the chrome dust caps are still there:lol:
