Default Caught in the Act- kids stole my chromies

I was sitting here at work when one of the woman was like "hey bobby some kids just took something off your car, and i look out the window and see two kids ride away on bikes, and i wasnt gonna let this just go, so i dropped what i was doig and ran out the door accross the parking lot and i suprised the kid when i asked him for my valve stems back and he gave me two of them which at the time i thought was all they took, and i went back to my car to put them on only to discover the other two were missing also, so as i look around the parking lot, i see the two kids disapear behind a Superfresh and again i track them down to where i rip the one kid off his bike and threatened them for the other two but i couldnt fidn them on the kids so i let them go with the threat if i ever saw them again theyd be dead.
Anyway i always keep a spare set of valve stems in my car for when kids try and steal them so i put those on. Im so paranoid now looking out my window every 5 seconds. Im at least glad i caught the kids that did it.

Get yourself some locking "theft-proof" valve stem caps. I've had mine for two and a half years and no problems.

This would definitely save you the headache of these things getting stolen again. It would be a smart investment.

Do these theft-proof caps work with the TPS system?

Yes they do. I have the Z logo ones on my touring. There's nothing special about TPS caps.
