Seriously......first someone steals the nice chrome valve caps that came with my Konig Zeiges, then I buy these cool anodized blue ones to match the lettering and centercaps on my rims, and THOSE get stolen. What kind of cheap, low budget, scumbag MF'er would do that? I swear - you can't have anything nice in Philly without some jerkoff vandalizing it or stealing it. Next time I'm buying the plastic cheapies.

 

yeah man, can you believe some people, some people on here get the nice caps and thent take pliers and put them on there so no hand can unscrew them, just make sure to carry around some pliers in your car if you need to get to the valves.

 

yeah, that's happened to me too. I just went to autozone and bought some "lock-tite", it sealed those babies right up. Usually it's little kids on bikes that steal them, and use them for their bikes...

 

Man, people are just messed up!!! I caught some guy in the act of trying to steal mine off and putting them on his low rider. To make a long story short he payed me for the whole set!!!Good friend of mine was with me at the time and he is a cop...

 

this has happened to me also. The nice metal caps that came with my rims were stolen within a few days...and I live in what was rated as the safest city in the US (theft, violent crime, etc)!! Then, i acquired plastic caps, and those too were stolen. Presently, I do not even bother to keep caps on my stems. I wish i could have caught the person who stole mine...the theif would feel SO low trying to steal someone's caps.

 

yeah some d!ckhead took only one of mine, had to go out and buy anotha pack. the nerve a these people....

 

Yeah stinks to get your nice things stolen, but when you buy expensive valve stem caps, you can pretty much expect some lowlife to gaff it. Good luck.

 

a victim here.

im the kinda person who will shoot a **** over some valve caps with no problem.

 

I'll bet they won't steal steal the cheapies.

 

stuck a gum on my rear quarter panel (by the fuel door). I left my car out for an hour yesterday (instead of parking her in the garage) and this is what happens.

 

Someone stole two of mine the other day , I assume some punk stole them for his bike.

 

dood-- mine are just stock and they all got stolen last week--wtf?

 

same $hit happened to me twice..both times only the 2 valve caps on the side of my car that was facing away from my house were stolen...now i jus have the black plastics...hasn't been touched yet

 

That is about as low as stealing a year tag/sticker off of a license plate...which happened to me years ago. It was quite pathetic.

 

now, you can't have anything nice outside philly either. my friend's dad had his 97 maxima stolen out of his driveway in the day/night-time(5:30). what the **** is that??? we live in horsham(1/2 hour above philly)

 

my friend has a 98 M3...and someone popped off his mirrors!...I bet he will soon see some ricer with a RHonda ****ic(civic)drivin around with M3 'style' mirrors that look like his....

 

Ditto I had one of my Konig Reign Center caps stolen, I know they were stolen because it's hard as hell just to get them off and on. IF the guy comes around again I'm going to introduce him to *** full of hurt with Mr. Mini 14.

 

I had two of mine stolen two weeks ago. Now I feel like a moron looking at all these little kids bikes so that I know who did it. When I find out I'm taking his whole damn bike to the police station and having them lock it up as evidence.

 

yar, that sucks.
Locktite sounds like a good idea
[as long as you don't get any inside the stem]
But how do you get them off?

Also, ne1 know a source for black caps[metal - not plastic]?
TIA

 

Man!!!it seems like we all have had bad experiences with pety thieves, people just have to steal what every they can,I guess they can't afford to buy their own parts. They love denting our cars, I guess they get a thrill out of denting a nice car without any dents or even srcatching the paint our cars. You can't have any peace no matter which way you turn!!! It's just messed up!!!!

 

Man, it's just messed up!!! I go to get in my car this morning and I notice one of my stem caps were missing, so I walk around the car and they all were missing




The stuff people will steal is never ending!!!
