AHH it happened again!!

AHH! It happened again! someone stole my chrome valve stem caps again for the second time in 2 weeks!! I'm pretty sure it has to be kids who want them on their bikes...but how many kids are outside at 1am?? If it is teenagers or adults, I'm worried they might take expensive things like my fog lights, clear corners or my stereo stuff...

Get an alarm with a dual stage radar, i.e. Alpine SEC-150R, hook up a pager unit to the alarm. When someone get's near your car for long enough, it'll send a signal to your pager. Go outside, and beat his/her/their face(s) in.

ehh, that's the risk of having those things and parking outside. You just gotta do what you can to minimalize the chance of theft, and realize that if you want things like clears/aftermarket fogs, and have any mods like wheels/muffler/sideskirts/etc, your car draws more attention.

let's hope they just stick to the valve caps

Sorry I have to laugh. Told ya this happened to me as well. They got me twice and it's kids that are doing it. Keep your eyes on their bicycles!

When you put your 3rd set of caps on, get a pair of pliers and snug them up nice. They'll never get them off by hand again. Just make sure you carry a plier with you just in case you need air!

My 3rd set are still on my car

Do a hunt. But some new caps and put them on. Wait up every morning until they come. Take a pile of dog sh*t and throw it at their heads. Don't worry they will never some back again. Or you could put superglue on the caps.

Put the superglue on the outside... so when the kids go to take them off they can unscrew them but they will literally have sticky fingers. Actually don't use superglue... I think it dries to fast. Use a clear resin.

Hook the caps up to your battery overnight.
