Thorin Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Nicked two of my tyre valve caps again. This time they got two nice shiney ones, before they just nicked the crap black plastic ones though. I know it's one of the kids on our little culdesac, but just don't know which of the little fookers it is. I'll keep an eye out for a kid with shiney valve caps on their bike.

osso Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'd rather them nicked my valve caps than have them key my car! Its probably your neighbour, I remember nicking my neighbour's valve caps when i was a wee boy, and he had a shitty rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'd smash their tiny skulls if I caught them stealing from me, then I'd set their parents on fire while they slept. B*stards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yep, Loctite is the best for having your valve stems ripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 My lodger had 3 sets nicked off his MR2 during the summer!!! I caught a group of kids down by his car trying to take the last of four shiny TRD ones and walked all four of them round to their parents houses - They were bricking it big time - the first mother went absolutely balistic and grounded the kid for a week! apparently he'd been in trouble for exactly the same thing before... We've both got the spinning siver anti-theft valve caps now and they seem to do the trick - well worth the £12 IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Had mine done a few months ago - they were only black plastic ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyin_scouseman Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 'Tis the season to be merry 1. Go down ya local Shiney Shiney valve cap wholesalers, 2. buy a ton of the fookers(as they probably won't cost much that amount), 3. put them in back of dumper truck, 4. park dumper truck at kids front door, 5. Knock at kids front door and when he answers, unleash your Fury and bury him alive in all that shiney stuff. He won't be doing that again!

michael Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 They will just snip the valves off with cutters and take the caps off at their leisure later on. Spray a batch of black plastic ones silver and replace when needed, it also makes them easy to spot on the offending BMX. It's a sad sign of the times when valve caps have to emply the same sort of technology as locking wheel nuts: http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16630&cat=690&page=1 Pikey scum.

stupra Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I've had my blue metal dust caps nicked off my bike when its been parked outside, and the silver metal one's off the Supra have been nicked, but i've not had the same silver metal ones nicked off my runabout car...weird a ?, maybe they don't look at the dust caps on crap cars.

Seriously is annoying but I think it's more just kids nicking them cos it's easy... Those are the ones I've got and they look really good...

Rob Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I had some titanium ones that resembled pistons, the ring grooves were so sharp they cut my fingers putting them on the tyres, never mind taking them off. Despite using copper slip, I had to trash them to eventually get them off to check the pressures. Can't be bothered with the fuss any more, and just use "OEM" caps.

That just made me think:d , special key mechanism that brings out lots of little razor blades around the cap. That'll sort the b'stards.
