Typical, eh?

I parked the car in a car park of a hotel today while I was going inside for a meeting.

There were a few guffy kids hanging around as I went in.

I came out and they were gone and I took no notice.

But, at home this evening when the bucket and sude were out, we noticed two of the valve caps missing.

So, the fact is that this evening some little fu(ker has two chrome valve caps - on his bloody bicycle.

Yeah, can't you just imagine Spiders on a push-bike.

I would be pleased that the little B@stards had the respect to just take the caps & not to touch the car.

I reckon I'd be pleased and respected if I'd caught, and kicked, the little b@stards.

Still, yeah, they could have done plenty of damage.

And the same hotel wouldn't be known for co-operating by providing CCTV footage.

Lets just say that flour wasn't the only white powder that a previous head-chef worked with.

If you have anything better than plastic ones, they are a consumable item in my view. I have lost several sets over the years. The last lot went at Pistonfest last year!

Halfords do a set of 5 metal ones for about £3.00, but it still really annoys me when they go. I assume kids put them on their bikes.

It's a shame you can't get ones that emit a small electric pulse to shock 'em if unauthorised fingers go trying to remove.

But then you'd probably get a writ through sueing you for shocking the b@stard that was in the process of theft.
