Carlin Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi I was at the cinema at the showcase about a week ago and just noticed that some wee ned has nicked two of my chrome valve caps from my wheels .Only saw it last night when I was out a wee run as its not the drivers side .They must be a bit thick as nicking two is not going to do them much good !!! Maybe they got caught in the act wee buggers !!!! Thats Glasgow neds for you !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi-glasgow Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Easy!!! The Showcase is in Coatbridge, not Glasgow!!! Unless you were at the other one in which case that's Paisley and you can be thankful you weren't stabbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon+Kat Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I got some 'Z' dust caps from ebay that are made like a nut so you can do them up really tight with a spanner, should stop the scrotes! you just have to make sure you keep a spanner in the car.

rtbiscuit Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 the ones you do up with a spanner still come off fairly easily. i'm using the richbrook anti theft ones. the have a rotating collar round them and a special tool to put them on with. if you try and take them off without the key the collar just free spins. anything can be stolen though, just depends how determined the thief is. but these should deter the majority of the opportunists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlin Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yeah I had a halfords own make or some other make like the ones your talking about but didnt like the look of them . I did have the other ones for a year and a half so not to bad ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I steer clear from metal valve caps due to corrosion and a couple of previous valve replacments due to it. My own fault for not checking tyre pressures more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlin Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Never had any bother with them . Only when sum ned nicks them !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
