Ok this is something I am not getting, I live in amherst, NY, which has been voted as the safest town in the U.S for the past 4 years or so....the other day some cheap *** stole my valve stems and cut the grill out of my car IN MY DRIVEWAY!.....why the heck would someone cut out my grill!?!?!?! that got me so mad, some people just dont know..... Honestly what is the big deal about valve stems? you can go buy your own nice shiney ones for 6 bucks, no need to go steal mine....UUUUUGH

 

did he steal the whole stem, or just the cap?

 

they were just the caps, but still, little things like that get me ticked

 

I'm trying to figure out why someone just wanted the caps. Did they really need them or did they just feel like causing trouble. Either way, that's messed up, sorry man.

 

they stole your grille as in the stock nissan deal or what ? that sucks big time

 

That does suck man..... I live in a town where there is the lowest car theft rate in america, and my friend's subs just got stolen from his jeep INSIDE HIS GARAGE. I was shocked..... so I ended up getting a security system cuz I didn't want that to happen to me.

 

they didnt steal the stock grill, i had 3 aluminum grills on the front, and the took the middle and bottom ones.....oh well

 

The kids in my neighborhood stole my valve stem caps twice. I got smart after the 2nd time, here's what to do to prevnet that from happening again.

Buy the good caps with the o-ring inside. Put them on your valve stems and then get a pair of pliers and give that cap another 1/2 turn with the pliers. You'll never get it off with your fingers again.

*** Make sure you have the pliers with you in your cars tool box just in cast you need air while your on the road! ***

 

I was reading a article lately about this couple that has a newer Acura. Well, they have this on going problem of people ripping off their bumper and stealing their headlight units. I guess HID lights(or similiar) are in great demand these days. I don't get the valve stems caps though.

 

happens to me too...someone stole my valve caps off my car in the driveway twice....now i jus have the black plastic caps..thesse haven't been stolen yet

 

I could picture a drunk teenager getting ****ed off that he was outsmarted by a pair of pliers, and instead of simply getting his kicks by stealing the valve stems, key up your paint or something of that nature. That'd suck...but at least you have a body shop hookup

 

People steal anything and everything. Someone cut the hose and stole my sprinkler in from of my house when I left it out overnight.

And I got my $30 Pepboys foglights stolen while at school.

 

Last month, one on my neighbors knocked on my door and told me some kids were messing with my wheels. He must have said something to the kids because they took off on their bikes down the street. I looked at my wheels and one valve cap was gone. I chased the kids, talked to one parent, and the dad bought me a new set. I even found the missing one laying on the ground so now I have an extra set

 

kids? hmm i guess they wanted the caps for their bikes

 

it seems like the valve stems are becoming very common to steal, i was at target the other day and i parked next to a 2k1 mustang cobra, bright red, very very pretty...anyways his were stollen too, i dunno if they were just the black ones, but watch out, i guess people like to screw around with other peoples stuff or they are just desperate.

 

I like the chrome ones...but the colored ones seem a bit ricy to me.

 

The kids in philly steal them all the time for their bikes. A couple of years ago, my friend would always get his stolen by kids to the point where he stopped putting them on. After that incident, I just made mine nice and tight so the kids and screw them off with their fingers.

 

Relax and think.

This was obviously an idiot. Almost certainly someone local who sees and can be seen by you every day. Most likely a young male between 16 and 30. He probably lives within 1-2 miles.

He also has a 4th gen max. That max now has your caps and grills.

Now figure out who the beotch is and fix his attitude towards crime...

Finished the sentence for you.

 

i was driving in a subdivison and someones yard sprinkler went off, and got the inside of my car wet, so i turned around and ran over it!

 

 

How very mature of you.

 

probably someone like you not smart enough to place it in the right direction

 

how can u just run over it? don't u think of damaging your car?

 

so someone like you not mature enough to let things slide and have to resort to destroying other people's property could destroy it?

 

nah, need new front tires anyway. i just clipped it to break the sprayer, didn't 4-wheel drive like a monster truck

 

You were in his subdivision and then you turned and vandalized his property?

You're no better than the guy that jacked venom's stems and grille.

 

hey stupid people gotta learn some how, can't carry them through life.

p.s. i'm 19, don't have to be mature until i can legally drink my problems away

 

Yes, stupid people do have to learn somehow. Maybe some day you will too.

But with that "p.s" ... I doubt you ever will.

 

I live around New Orleans, not close to him.

 

your %100 right, i'm doomed to stupidity, maybe i should travel to NY and move in with you, that away i'll feel right at home, and it'll all be good.

 

has anyone else had any real problems with people stealing things from your car??? fog lights, clear corners, rims.....???

 

Protect your car with a Warning Sticker

My friends honda beeps when anybody or anything gets within i think 3 inches of the car..and the alarm goes off if u stay too close to the car for more than 4-5 seconds..i thinks its called a radar alarm!??

Anywho..it is freakin sweet..they couldnt even touch ur valve caps
