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


It does feel better to let it out! i do agree though. what the hell do they want with all these dust caps. You can by a set of shiney ones for about £2. Although i suppose being on the dole, they spend all their money on drugs and feeding the *illigitamate* child they have had with a 13 year old girl!

So do you need to take the tyre of the rim to fit the flush caps or can you do it with the tyre on?

unfortunatly you do need the tyre off or completly flat, if you can squash the tyre enough, but i would say do it when you next have to change your tyres or just pop to your local tyre fitters who may do it for you?

Stuff like this is just pathetic, the lengths some people go to to steal a valve cap...

Just run electricity through the wheels (and valve caps) and then lets see if they try that trick again

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!



Surely you've answered your own question there :thumbsup:


haha. I just don't understand why someone would go out of their way to steal dust caps off cars. It's not like they're worth anything!I just dont get it!


For the same reason we like to have them on OUR cars - they look nice.
I've lost a set recently too. Scumbags.

HAHAHA! Set up a hidden camera, leave it for a while, then view the footage. Hours of hilarious entertainment with chavs getting electricuted. Sort of like a sinnister springwatch, chavwatch! I'm going to the BBC with this!

OK cool, thanks for the info :( Bit annoying you gotta do it with the tyre off/ flat. Ive got new tyres on so will be a while before they need changing again. Could just let all the air out and spend the day letting all my tyres down to fit them! :thumbsup:
