Valve stem cap theft

I was washing my car today and noticed that someone stole all four green valve stem caps but was nice enough to replace them with a set of silver ones with the Infiniti logo. Should i even be upset? WTF!

Probably the green ones you get from Wal-Mart or Costco.

Are you sure it was a gift and not theft?

That pretty messed up, but at least they gave you some to replace them with. I think you should be glad that they took the green ones off your hands.

have you had your car serviced at an Infiniti dealership recently? if so, perhaps they lost your green caps while checking the tire pressure and just threw the infiniti ones on.

Are all these metal caps or the cheap plastic/rubber?

Sometimes green caps are used on nitrogen filled tires.

This is freaky weird... someone might've done u a favor instead.

If you had any tire service done they probably swapped them. Everytime I get new tires they change the air caps to some cheap plastic ones and I dont catch it until a few wheels later depending on the time of year.

maybe you took your car to the dealer and they swapped them out for you? or maybe the valve cap fairy did it?... or maybe you're driving someone else's car?

LOL, that was me. I was driving pass a tanning salon and noticed a G35 parked right in front of it. I saw that it had some horrible green plastic caps and decided to switch it up for you because it was making the rest of us look bad.

Your welcome.
