Who steals...

valve stem caps?! I notice today that my stainless steel "HHR" valve stem caps are gone. Either happened at my job, or at my home, but I'm guessing job. I know it's just a measley $18, but it's the disrespect in the act that just drives me nuts.

Obviously a fellow HHR owner, since "HHR" caps would look funny on another car...and since there is the slightest chance you read this forum; You're Trash.

Kids, put them on their bicycle.

Friend of mine lost 4 sets of Miata caps before they found a set that actually wouldn't come off unless you put a special key on the cap.

Same mentality that keeps trying (unsuccesfully) to pry the BMW emblems off the wheels on my wife's car. Just keep telling yourself that you are just happy you are not them (i.e low life POS ....etc).

Yes but the caps in the 60's sucked. Everyone wanted the one with the tio on it for letting air out since we had fewer options back then.

Yep, usually the local kids. If I leave my truck out over night, they'll clean off the chrome caps on me . . . . I've had bastards steal them at car shows . . . :eyes:
