Thieving little c*nts
In the sceam of things, a very minor thing, but very annoying.
Got my Gold PFF7 Alloys fitted at the start of August with some very nice shiny metal valves & dust caps. Got to work this morning to find the dust caps have been nicked overnight. Little f*cking c*nts.
The front alloys have'nt been washed for a few weeks so there covered in brake dusk, apart that is from where their little thieving fingers have been. I had my metal dust caps nicked of my Focus RS earlier this year while parked outside my property.
I think it's the paper boy, which makes it more annoying cos I know his dad has a Focus RS with Metal dust caps.
So what do I do now? replace them with more metal dust caps, and hope there not nicked, or go with the horrible black plastic one's. This country's ****, you can't own anything half decent without some b@stard steeling it. What I'd like to do is get up early, and confront little paper boy and give him a kick up the ****, but, then the thief will be the victim, and we all know what happens then................ british justice at its best.

The Kids dont just nick em for their dads cars. They also fit on their bikes. I had the same problem a few years ago myself. Even went to the black plastic ones and caught a Thieving little Get taking them off one day...

Had some of the locking ones on mine, two middle aged blokes nicked them and as one was obviously being a bit stubborn, they ripped the valve out with something like pliers, scratching off the paint and gouging the alloy around the cap.
Replaced them with 50p black ones, and havent had any trouble since - would rather have to pump my tyres up cos someones let them down than have to trek down to kwik fit to get a new valve put in anyday !

I don't bother any more with the ally caps because like you the little buggers
nick them for their bikes.
Infact i caught a little ****** trying to get one off my old beemer, you should of seen his face, i'm not the smallest of guy's !!
Anyway i did'nt get angry or swear at him, just said that if i see him around here again i'll kick his skinny little ***, never seen him since
If you get abusive or slap them, you'll either get the whole family round or your
windows put through.

Got two shiny dust caps with the subaru logo nicked either at the Castle Combe Rally day in August or while it was parked outside the B&B in Chippenham after the event.
Tend to think it was more likely outside the B&B and as only 2 went it was probably for a feckin bike!!!!

they got pinched in asda carpark, no damage done, so some little b/stard must have hold of a little allen key to get them off.
just have the black plastic ones now.

I'm all for modding my car, but can't ever ever imagine wanting shiny valve caps. Bloody asking for trouble as they will fit any BMX as well. The plain black plastic variety do for me at 99p for 6. I know I could get an extra 20 bhp with alloy ones, but I'm just too tight.

I agree that they do not look good. In fact, I don't like them at all.
Its not the point though. You should be able to buy what you want without some ***** stealing it from you
You will just have to put up with black ones. Even if you totally secure your car, they will just get nicked when you go to the supermarket, or wherever else you park your car

It's simply, if they want them they'll have them, the harder you try to stop them the harder they will try to get them off, as one of the above states a few scratches and a chunk out of the wheel?

Good on you that you don't mind kids steeling things off your car, but remember these little c*nts steal dust caps today, but tommorow (not literaly) they'll steal your car. Suppose you won't mind that either????
Oh yes, just write a list of evey topic you've comented on, and the rest of us will endevour not to bring up those subjects again.

I've never bought these little shiney things but have had two sets of wheels arrive with them on. Both nicked - first time I was really pissed off, second time I shook my head and laughed. Now got a set of plasic jobbies which'll do fine.

Don't laugh, it happens. But they tend to set the alarm off more than once.
