*******!!
Snap! I have had a set of these sat in my kitchen drawer for a while now, I know when they go on, the little flockers will have them away.

If I catch them the doctors will have to surgically remove them, you guess where from!

I had some nicked off my scooby within 2 days of buying it.
The year before i'd gone back home for christmas, drove through the night from the highlands to 20 miles north of newcastle, got there at 8:30 and it took 15 minutes for the ******* to start taking bits off my beemer! Spotted the little git, got a good look at him just in case. 2 days later his bike with my valve caps was outside the local shop. When i went in this little dick was giving the shop owner some abuse so i handed him his valve stems... Leatherman tools are ace and told him if i found him within 10 feet of my car next time it would be his fingers i cut off!
My family still wonder why i call the place i grew up a crap hole and hate going back, nothings safe, even if it's nailed down

Some little ****** tried nicking the ones off my Mrs's Clio Cup! Got one of them and must've been scared off, but where they'd twisted them so hard the valve ended up leaking and had to get it replaced not a happy bunny as her tyre had lost 20psi in half hour!!

Not so good Ian!!

I had a couple of a set of STi ones stolen off my RB5 a few years back .... would say that the grub screws in these are a waste of time, I would use a spanner to tighten them up. Better .... but not completely full proof!!
