Well today I thought better shift my arse and fit my winters on now that I've got my tpms sorted

Imagine my surprise when mid way through Fat Kid 1 comments " Dad where is you dust cap off this tyre?"

Well some little shites been and nicked two of my valve dust caps!!!

Normally I use a pliers to tighten but as these are only plastic bits I didn't bother

Now I know it's nothing major and could have been a lot worse etc etc

BUT some little shite somewhere has taken it upon themselves to lay hands on my property to help themselves to it

Just don't like being a victim.



Hope it's not some one on here and they die screaming in agony

Ps just letting off steam

When you referring to to "Fat Kid 1," are you referring to one of your own?

Little scum shites...

Both my two are known affectionately as fat kid 1 and 2 respectively.

Really? I mean really?

I know exactly what you mean. Someone stole mine years ago but like you I was more annoyed that someone had come near my car and stole something from it. Don't fancy someone else's hands on my car.

I had two sets pinched, so i fitted anti tamper ones and they fooked a valve nicking them. The problem is, if you dont have them fitted, shit and crap get into the valve - especially this time of year.

Had it happen to me, bought a set in the US, aluminium domed, all were taken at once.
Put it down to children, but so annoying and petty just like so much crime in Britain these days.

[RobUK]

So, worth keeping a set of spares in the glove box.

[Chris Peacock]

I had the first set nicked whilst at the gym, from there on in I just put the black plastic ones on, the metal OEM ones from BMW look a little tacky IMO.

I've had a set nicked in the past, it's very annoying. But as others have said, keep a spare set, there only a couple of £ from halfrauds. The anti tamper ones just increase the risk of further and more costly damage IMO.

I notice that I have one presently nicked on my wheels.

Will swap one from my summer tyres before going out in the snow later.

May I draw your attention to this if you have or are thinking of fitting metal dust covers.

Sorry, couldn't resist to compare your Fat Kid 1 with Son Number 1
That's quite funny

99p for 100 (free p&p) off fleabay.

[TimMcC]

Maybe the OEM silver ones fall off? Checked my tyre pressures today to find one missing at the front, and the other very loose. Both rears were secure.

Good call or 50 for £1.25

Better than 10 for 99p
