    Just got mine jacked last week and bought some cheapo ones to replace them. Hopefully now no one will wanna take these or at least they're cheap to replace.

    As a reformed valve stem cover thief, I have to confess its for their bikes. And since other kids steal them from bikes, the original thieves need extras to replace the stolen ones. I probably have 30 in a jar somewhere. (Keep in mind this was 10+ years ago - I didn't take yours!)

    Just be glad he didnt steal your valve stems. I did that a few times too.

    Damn - so it was YOUR crew that was competing with us. I had a pair that were so bling I actually took them off the bike and carried them with me when I went in the mall etc.

    To the guys who get jacked - just keep it in perspective, they're not keying the car or doing damage. Pretend it's nasty squirels stealing em or something. Or wire them to the battery.

    Edit: If they are black, they'll never leave. If they are chrome, watch em like a hawk.

    No - chromies. The caps that go on the valve where you pump up your tires.

    damn dude that is bling. well i know who's car to check out next time i need a new pair.

    i've seen these on ebay and they come with a little keychain wrench so you can tighten them up so they aren't as easy to steal.
