Its kids about 11 years old. Watched them eyeing up all the cars with alloys in my works car park. I`ve just stuck with the plastic ones as they seem to like the shiny ones better!

Hi Darks,

In the last year I have had my door dented twice in a car parks, my door dented (£500)by a hit and run, my dust caps nicked, both sides keyed up (£1200), my gf wrote off an alloy, and the local dealer striped the locking whell nut key and denied it!!!! I do live in central london. Local plod tell me they have better things to do than deal with this?

Your not alone mate!!!!!

my basic black ones dont get stolen but whenever i change to some chrome ones they tend to go within a week or so! Within the last yr i must have had 4 sets stolen.This weekend another set got stolen in blackpool car park! Didnt fancy the lockable ones in case i lost the key plus the hassle of undoin them...i guess i will hav to change my view on that.

my black rota alloys have had a dust cap nicked by a spotty kid aged about 6. He also went for the valve covers and nicked all 4 whilst we were on holiday. However his mate 'persuaded' him to put them back before I got back and I found them in a small pile behind our front hedge!

he tried the same thing on a TVR tuscon which was parked in our neighbours drive last week,but got caught by the owner just as he was unscrewing the third one. After a bit of a shouting match/abuse, the neighbour was confronted by the kids father complete with baseball bat!. Police were called but nothing came of it.

and this is a nice area of Weston!!

anyone know where I can get black rota dust covers from!

I've had just pairs stolen of my scoob too. When I had my Mini, all four would go once a week, stupid thing is, the metal ones on the Mini cost less from BMW than the black plastic ones did from Halfrauds...lol!

IMy neighbour called me last week to ask if I had fancy dust caps, I said yeh there little chrome subaru ones, he then said well theres a kid at your car now nicking them. I nipped outside and got him bonnie as you like. Asked for my caps back and told him I would speak to his parents the next day.
Well poor lad was about in tears which was nice as all you normally get is a heap of cheek. So idn't speak to his parents but hope he learnt a lesson.
I was a kid once and certainly wasn't an angel but I've always been into cars so would never steal or damage one.
