Default kids can,t leave nothing alone

not very happy after finding out the little scum bags have nicked my nice shiney dust caps, as if it aint enough to hit the car every day with a football, they go and do this, and the caps were put on with a spanner this means war first thing first knife through that dam ball then if the bikes are around out side i think i'll take they'er caps see how they like it they might even be mine anyway.

If you think thats bad !!! mine were stolen from outside my house - by two blokes in their 50's ( neighbour saw them ) - they were the spanner on sort as well, so they must have used pliers or something to get them off - and managed to rip the valve out of one tyre, and put a big gouge in the wheel around the valve on one of the others.

Replaced them with a bog standard set of black plastic ones, and ( touch wodd ) they are still on there.

Given up on shiny valve caps a long time ago, fed up with replacing them! Since i put crappy plastic ones on, not a problem
The way i looked at it, they attract people to pinch off ur car and once they've got away with it once next time it may be more than just valve caps!

Thing is, I can understand little kids nicking them as its enough to do two of their pushbikes, but wtf the middle aged blokes wanted mine for, I dont know ??? maybe to double the price of their car ????
