Little scrotes!
I'll be checking every 12-year-olds push-bike thoroughly for my lovely anodised caps. That'll learn me to leave the car unattended outside the house during half term.

I'll keep an eye out. If I see any likely suspects I'll lob a spider wheelbrace into their spokes and watch them grate their faces off on the tarmac. I'll even take pics.
It's a fuggin' nightmare. I've had 3 sets nicked. One set wasn't on my car 24hrs before they got taken. Little b@stards.
I just stick with placca ones now.

True.
TBH, I'd normally roll the black placca, but I couldn't find any spare so I wanged these ones on. Miffed 'cos Er Indoors bought them for me. Got some super-nice ones kept over 'for best' though.

The little wotsits! When i had my blue mini i had some pointless;y expensive alloy valve caps on it. Once, whilst it was parked right outside a mates i saw a load of kids dissapear behind it. Guessing what was going on i walked outside to find them skulking away, i shouted 'Oi!' and beckoned them back. Suprisingly they came back and just handed me the caps without me saying anymore! I told them to screw them back on and curse word off, needless to say they returend to have another go, but by this time id taken them off and was smiling at them from the living room window. Turned out they were frends of the family i was visiting, TBH i thought their punnishment was harsh, but it seemed to have worked!

A place I went to work at had had a few 12 yr old kids nicking the anodised valve caps from a couple of members of staffs motors. The main boss guy followed them down the road and dragged them back by their ears, locked them inside a store room and phoned the police. The coppers turned up and cautioned them and everything. The by now crying children had to give back their booty and apologise to everybody before being taken back to their homes in the police car to have a good beating from their parents. Justice

TBH I thought their punnishment was harsh, but it seemed to have worked! Punishment wasn't harsh enough! They obviously have no respect for you coming back for another go so why should you show any sign of respect to them? Thats why when I get my dice caps I am going to keep them for shows

A few years ago when parked outside donny show, we were walking back to a mates car and noticed a load of scrotes running off from it - They had knicked the valve caps which were just fuel filter bungs pushed on the standard caps!
We chased them back into their estate where they ran home. We banged on the door and had a word with the kids mum who gave these 2 lads the biggest whack I've ever seen. We got the caps back and I can only assume these 2 10 year old kids were mildly brain damaged from the thumps they got.
Which reminds me, I have chrome valve caps on my new alloys, well, I did 3 days ago when I fitted them. I'll be surprised if they are still there!
I'll paint them matt black tomorrow at work. Sigh.

The kids curse word me off, but the parents (in this case) didnt stand for any of it, and made it quite clear to the kids what sort of road they were heading down. At the time they didnt know who i was and probably had never seen the car before. Ill never defend them and would be proper hacked off if they had got away with it.

Justice yup hopefully the parents beat them nice and hard when they got home

I'm going to fill my valve caps with depleted uranium. I'll also fit an RFID chip to them, so that I can visit them and laugh when their hair and teeth have fallen out.

Is there not just the -teensiest- of flaws in that plan there, BB?

Had mine nicked at a classic car show car park.Was walking back to my car and saw two people one man one women walking away from my car.They got in there car and drove off.I knew what they had done so run after them as they were stuck in traffic trying to get out of the car park.I opened the drivers door and asked for my dust caps back.He just drove off so i took a photo of the his reg plate on my phone.He didn't like this so reversed back after me and hit a new 525 BMW.I was rolling on the floor with laughter.The driver of the BMW dragged the guy out of his car and gave him some stick.That was good justice.

Mooneyes ones on my bug got nicked the first night in brighton.
That was ages ago when it was still easier to import from the states.
I'm going to make some solid gold ones and put them on my reverse rim steels ;D
Be interesting to see if anyone ever finds them.

i saw two young lads nicking my valve caps last year from the mk1 - i ran up to the car (and was holding a wrench at the time - doin something on another car) and shouted something extremely rude at them, they practically pooped emselves and said sorry ;D but it is so annoying when things like that happen
