| Can I briefly complain about the little sh*ts who insist on stealing valve caps? I've just lost my second set. I just want to catch the little f*ckers in the act. |

| only two sets, i have had about 10 sets stolen, someone saw them last time and i went out to chase them but i couldn't find them. Lucky for them cause its very hard to ride a bike with two broken legs and 10 broken fingers. |

http://www.antilag.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7852 Way ahead of you... for those too lazy to sign up: "Now, do these little buggers just unscrew and dislodge themselves while you're driving? Or is there an 'organised crime' syndicate who go around stealing the 4 valve caps off your tyres every week and selling them on an underground black market to fund their drug habits? I found myself 'de-valve-capped' the other day, and just replaced them with just normal metal valve caps you get from Supercheap Auto for a grand total of $1.95. After parking in the premier southern suburb of Coogee (it's like Kwinana, just not quite as classy) where the native Australians run free, I came back to my car to find the $1.95 worth of valve caps missing. The question being, where do they go? What do these people who steal them do with them? Are there gangs of violent perpetrators who go around bashing old ladies with bags full of valve caps? Are they sold for food stamps? Are they being stolen by their own manufactures, repackaged, and sold back to us? I believe I've stumbled upon a massive conspiracy here, just like that guy who stole 1c from everyone's bank account and ended up a millionaire, someone is getting rich off our valve caps! /loop mode off." Oh and also spotted a black de-badged soarer going past my work with a dent in the rear quarter.... Adam? |

| Yeah the guy was seriously driving like he was running from the police or something. Sure its an awesome car but that doesnt mean you have to drive like a maniac everywhere. |

| O and whilst we're on the topic of stolen metal valve caps. I too have had a good set vanish. I have an idea. Why dont we go to some school and pinch them all back whilst class is on. |
