    Angry WTF? Valve stem covers stolen.

    I was looking at my tires just to see if they were low on air and I noticed somthing different. My valve stem covers were stolen, fucked up thing about it was that they were stolen on one side and my other side were still there.

    What the hell is wrong with ppl. Are they really that useful for anything else?

    The reason I am freakin out is because its happened to me 2 times, My Volks on my old car (Valve covers were blue) were stolen and now I got 2 out of 4 stolen on my current wheels.

    The ones on my wheels now are BBS valve covers and I dont wanna order 2 because they might get stolen AGAIN!

    Theives suck and should rot in hell, even for something petty like this.

    Tighten them with a wrench to make sure nobody takes them, thats why they are shaped like a nut, so a wrench fits on them.

    2 full chrome sets were stolen from my car when I used to park my car on the wall seperating 68th from my street (you know where I live), and I put a third set on and left a note on my car saying "Smile, you are on camera, so if you steal another set of them, I'm calling the cops!" After that, it never happened again...

    Some kids will steal anything that is easy to grab, just cause its the cool thing to do... the worst part is that this will never change, and is bound to happen again...

    Hahaha Oh I know where you live... You better not be stealing mine.
    About that note thing, I wanted to leave one saying
    "If you steal these again you are gay and have just developed AIDS by touching them"

    I'll be on the look out man, we should have a neighborhood watch!!!!!!

    The ones I have were specially made for my wheels, nothing special about them but they did make the wheel cool cause they said BBS.

    The irony is that us chromie thieves were so paranoid about someone else stealing our stolen bling, that we mostly had plastic ones anyway. Hell I still have plastics on my car cause I know how appealing they are lol.
