Angry Agh someone stole my center caps

<Insert profanity here>

Just noticed this morning that I'm missing all 4 of my STi center caps! I hope karma hits the thief/thieves hard!!!

I'm still not sure where it was actually stolen. The GR was parked at Daly City BART the whole day yesterday, although I should've noticed it when I got back after work. I went to Serramonte mall after work, so this is where I suspect it happened.

It still could've happened at my apartment area, but I kinda doubt it as I haven't heard of anything stolen off of our parking ever since I moved here. Not to mention my neighbor's RSX-S parks behind me, and he recently picked up some new TE37, with center caps. Although the street parking outside is a diff story....

.....is there even a way to prevent this, short of gluing your center caps to your wheels??

man Serramonte is known to have crappy things like that to happen... Count your blessing that it was only your center caps and not your wheels!

Sorry to hear this. I hate thieves. I've had a few things stolen off my car, I know exactly how you feel!

I'll venture to guess, no.

Gluing might work, but would likely end up in vandalism....

Glad to see the wheels are still there though, on the brightside

Look on the bright side. They had to take the wheels off to pop the center caps off, so they were kind enough to replace the wheels. That's a lot of work. Most thieves aren't that nice.





P.S. I'm joking, obviously.

I wouldn't mind some biblical influence here and have hands cut off of thieves.

makes it much more likely they won't steal again.

happened to my wife's civic...in Cupertino...next to Curry house..while we were eating inside Curry House. WTF?!

I have the coveted STi center caps that only came on the 07 STi's, I'm always afraid that someone will take them!
