Missing Valve Caps...

I swear someone keeps stealin my valve caps...

i use to have nice infiniti valve caps and then suddenly they started disappearing... i am down to my last one.

after the first one went missing i checked the other 3 and they were on tight no way could they have flown off. so i started to replace the missing valve caps with the regular black ones and then suddenly they go missing... i feel like someone is f***in with my wheels...

i mean the black ones are cheap but its just annoying to replace em i guess i could forget the valve caps...

are there any locking or good valve caps that anyone knows of???

If someone keeps stealing them, just buy black plastic ones at walley world. nobody is impressed by your valve caps!

A quick google search yielded this result http://www.avanigroup.com/
I've never tried them though. The other alternative is to try and glue little needles laced with dog s#it to the valve cap. So when the thief tries to steal it he will ***** himself and get real sick. That'll teach em. I can't stand people who mess with other peoples cars.

Something tells me if you do that with the dog ****, you may get yourself into trouble... I am sure this is somehow illegal... but then again I am not a lawyer... I just play one on forums. ..

I got myself a set of Chromies a few summers ago and they're still on there.
The caps spin unless you have the small key to take them off, making them much more difficult to steal.

There's quite a few options available to you.
Just Google Anti-Theft Valve Caps

Here's my set...

Right... but it's better than shelling out $5- a week, every week, when they continue to get stolen.
They have sets as low as $15 and they pay for themselves if yours are always getting stolen.

There's a reason why kids have 10mm wrenches in their back pockets.
Back in the early 80's, this was one thing to do during the summer.

Those Chromies look pretty decent too. I think I might have to pick up a set for myself as well. I had a decent simple metal set that was stolen in the summer and I have the cheap plastic ones on now.

I had nice chrome caps too until I realized that they were all missing after I had my tires replaced at Discount Tire. I just think the guys forgot to put them back on...I don't see why they would want to "steal" my caps. Manager offered to pay me $60 for them so I took the money and bought some cute shoes. I now have 4 black caps and don't even miss the chrome ones but I love my shoes!

They are nice and looks good when you put them on valves.
