Stolen valve stem caps?
just realized while getting gas today that all my caps were missing. I have no idea why anyone would want to take them. maybe cuz its silver? its only about $2 at a auto store anyways. i guess its just the principle that they stole it. Anyone else had this happen to them? just curious

Dang Jeff... man, I keep everything valuable on the inside of the car, especially being here in the Bay Area (that offers slightly more consolence). I remember you asking about the S2K antenna....

yeah, mine were stolen from a golf course in costa mesa, you would think people that can afford to golf can afford some silver caps. The car parked next to me was a fixed up IS300 with Red Bride seats, i can't believe he stole my caps but he and my caps were gone by the time i was done golfing. I suspect him because i parked off to the side and he was the only one next to me. Cheap *****.

Those are the ones I have. I put them on almost imediately after buying the car. I put a set on my Z31 too. They are high quality and a real pain in the a$$ to take off until you get use to them.

someone freakin stole my stock black crappy ones a while ago...like what the heck? and i was pissed just cause of the principle of it. like who conciously does that. I was probably more mad that there was someone that close to my car and touching it. at least they didnt steal my antenna, im very surprised thats not gone yet.

There must be a huge pile of these things somewhere. They're being stolen all over the world every day. Where do they go?
I gave up on nice caps a while ago and just use the black plastic ones. They still disappear occasionally but not as often. I'd try the locking ones but at ~$50 inc shipping I don't think it's worth it.
