Default Chrome Wheel Valve Caps Stolen!!!

I just realized that someone stole my chrome caps for my tire valves!!! OMG, why would anyone be so cheap as to do that!!

It is not a major cost problem cos it costs 1-2 USD at fleetfarm, but still.....

I just cannot believe it. Maybe I will engrave my initials on my next set to deter these petty thiefs.

I've had the same problem. One thing that might help is there are sets with a keychain wrench. You tighten them down with mini-wrench and they can't be unscrewed by hand.
I just bought a new set for my Tundra last weekend just to replace one valve cap. But now I have extras!

I'm ashamed to say I did it too. We all had them on our bmx bikes...that was over 25 years ago. I had forgotten about it. I guess some things never change.

yup, i used to steal them too. mercedes and porsche were notorious for having pretty good ones. the first set i stole were off my moms 300sd turbo deisel benz. hahahah my dad was mighty suspicious.

my neighbors got smart and used a wrench to make em tight. aha, i used to carry a modified 4 inch cressent to do the dirty work.

because i belive in what goes around ...., im always looking over my back. even 20 years later.

By and extra set while you're at it. Keep it in the glove box. You'll probably be replacing these again.
