They nick them for their bikes, its quite common for them to just nick 2 of them and leave the other 2

Plus there just assholes

Pimp my bicylce! Maybe tim westwood goes round at night stealing everybody's dust caps!

But yes, *bum*holes indeed!

I would suggest a set of anti-theft caps. I have a set and they are impossible to remove without the tool.

I've heard of these. Where did you get yours? I dont really want to put those horrible black plastic ones on. I just dont understand why tyre valve caps are so damn appealing to people! the mind boggles!

Got mine from Halfrauds but they were a bit expensive. Minisport do some at a more reasonable price and even do Cooper or Union Flag ones but i imagine there will be a load on ebay too.

I've had two sets of the Richbrook ones (not due to theft, just two cars! lol) They work really well... even the tyre fitters couldn't work out how to get them off... lol!

[MiniBonkerz]

come on people lets give the 'pikeys' sone respect cant go around calling them that they are now called caravan utilising nomadic travellers or C.*.*.T'S for short

[mars red mike]

I had the dust caps nicked off my Revos, the little gits even took the pin out of the middle of the valve so I couldnt blow them back up again!

[cagy]

just look for a caravan with ace alloys and amazing dust caps (all "borrowed") of course!!

[ferrit]

To be fair if it was Travellers you would in all likelyhood found that the car had gone lock, stock and barrel.

Its Chavs that are the problem and they will have nicked them just to *yellow human water* you off, most likely chucked away about 100 yards down the road. The little b'stards have done so much damaged to my MPi since I have had it. 3 sets of mirrors kicked or ripped off, an Aston fuel filler cap wrenched off and left in 2 pieces, clear rear light clusters and clear front inidcator lamps thieved, keyed, at least 5 front bages, a snapped aerial, screwdrivered under the door lock to brake in and the list goes on and on.

The thing is all of the stuff I have nicked is sod all use on a Corsa or a Saxo.

Here endeth the rant!

I had silver painted black ones.... they got stolen too

Just have black ones now to save hassle.

I've got some rickbrook ones. They spin when you try to unscrew them, they'll keep chavs entertained for hours

You get a tool to put them on/off with that you can just attach to your keys

[Jay3178]

i got flush fit valves see pic, they dont seam to want these for their bikes or caravans lol

[che]

You're not alone, some thieving tuurd faced little scrotes helped themselves to mine last week, nice chrome laurel wreath ones. I hate the little shytes, I mean what flippin' good are they to them anyway. Little Basturdz I hate them.

Hope their tackle shrivels up and falls off

Rant over that feels a bit better lol
