Everytime I leave my Tamora on the street (which is very rare), the flippin dust caps get nicked within about 5 minutes.

What do people do who park their cars on the streets all the time - just accept they're gonna go?

LOL, nightmare! I have the TVR logo'd anti theft ones, not sure how good they are, but they're still all in their rightful place!

Had the last full set nicked at Le Mans of all places.

Little buggers.

At least I didn't catch anyone actually taking them off!

Given up with my dustcaps.

Now got crappy black ones.

Last set of locking ones welded themselves to the valves and had to be cut off!

Kids put them on their bike tyres - got a video of the paperboy nicking my first set.

Maybe its time for revenge - we should start nicking them from kids' bikes.

put super glue on them (on the out side), at least you will know which one of the buggers tried to nick em.

I've got anthracite wheels, and the cheap plastic ones look better anyway.

Only lost 1 set of dust caps in 5 years of parking outside - don't mind too much as long as they are now on the bike of a future tivver.
