Default I hate petty car theives...

I'm so pissed right now. Just got back from the gym, and noticed that some low life scum bag stole the aluminum BBS valve caps off my wheels. I hate people like that. You like them, great; GO BUY YOUR OWN ****ING CAPS. I felt like driving back to the gym to scour the place for this *******, but figured all I'd succeed in doing is create a confrontation, and then next time he saw my car he'd do alot worse than steal my valve caps. I hope I can purchase a replacement pair from the Tire Rack.

Default dammit. somebody post a picture of that blonde kid in tears.

At least your car wasn't damaged.

When I lived in NY, somebody broke into my car and stole out of all the CD's, Pearl Jam's triple import live CD. Cost me over $800 to get that door lock/door fixed.

I'd hook up a nice high voltage power source to the caps. That ought to be interesting.

Or a nice pressurized little tube that feeds pure HCl under the cap. Removal=pain. :-)

Default I definitely thought about it, but then next time he'll key my car. I'm going to suck it up and buy

two spare sets. If it happens again, I'll have to deal with the slime bag though.

Getting keyed would be way worse. Maybe time to get cheap valve caps instead.
