Screw them on tight...
Mine got stolen, along with my business partners Mercedes emblem, when they were parked side by side - I replaced with chrome ones with a hex head and put them on with a wrench - not too tight but enough that they required a wrench to remove. But, i just bought the theft proof with the Z logo from zeetoys.com - expensive but love the look. BTW, his visor cover stickers are pretty sweet too.

i got my valve stem caps ripped off i think sometime last weekend. all 4 so im not really sure what people are doing with these things. they say rays on them and they are shiny big F'n deal leave a nice car alone. the next time i see a set of NON rays rims with rays stems, im going to steal theres. hehehe not that i pay that much attention to the stem valves. i guess it just forces me to get the Z logo locking valve covers.

yeah at least there wasn't any body damage. bought some generic silver ones and have been doing good for a couple months now. the chances are too high for it to happen again IMO... if it happens a 3rd time tho.. gonna rig it so that hot sauce squirts in their eye when they try to take them

I have plenty of my chrome caps solen at times. Sometimes just one, two, or all 4 as well. Like some of you guys I just gave up on it. I mean they are only $2, but an easy steal for anyone and even an alarm can't get set off while stealing them. I am still surprise that a lot of them aren't solen on the Benz and BMWs that I see everyday.
I remember in the 80's the dices use to be popular anyone ever had those?

yep just a few days ago someone jacked my "silver" generic auto parts store caps which i had bougt to replace my stock ones after they were stolen. the few dollars i spent on them doesnt bother me as much as the fact that there was someone touching and lurking around my car when they were stealing them. oh well
