yea i checked there bikes and they had these stupid multi color ones on there bikes and i didnt wanna beat them up because then i could go to jail and i didnt feel it was worth calling the cops over, especially with only two stolen valve caps.
Good thing my car is right in view from where i work. If those punks come back for revenge then ill be ready. i can outrun a middle schooler on a bike anyday.

Ha! funny you bring this up, two of mine were just stolen, TWO! So now I have mismatched sets, whats even worse is I saw the kid checking out the car (was eating at a restauraunt) and didn't think he actually took anything. That bastard.
But it gets better, I remember actually stealing some for my bike when I was kid. What goes around comes around.

I was a delinquent growing up (all A student bored with a small town) and I never thought about taking valve stem caps . . . I used to terrorize the neighborhood by using a valve stem remover to deflate a few tires, but I quickly stopped that. I spoke with the neighbor the following day and he was *****ing that he just had to buy a new tire since the other one went flat. I wasn't sure on what to do: Tell him "you idiot, it was just missing the valve stem" or "the tire place ripped you off." . . . after some thought, I just went home and never did it again *LOL* ![Big Grin](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, the good ol' days . . .
Hell, I'm 28 and it was like that. Seems as if the neighborhood parents would auction off your @ss beating to the locals *LOL*
