hey a little trick ,y buddy told me with center caps

take a small strip of duct tape and push it so it is touching the back of the center cap, and thne make sure the inside of the rim is clean and just wrap the duct tape in there.

i tried to pop them off and it is almost damn impossible i mean to even pop them just from pushing on the back of them is hard

Sorry to hear man. I don't get it. I didn't have the impression that Daly City was ghetto or anything, but I've heard a few car/car parts theft happening there.

And Cupertino?? WTF?!?!?

Sorry to hear that man, I have been the victim of a lot of theft now.. I'm actually starting up a neighborhood watch (well not by myself, but crime is getting out of hand in my area).

Yes, go find a beater/daily driver if you're gonna park it at any Bart station. Honestly, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Back in the early 80's I saw a Ferrari sitting on milk crates at the Palo Alto, CA Ave train station and thought hmm what kind of wheels did he have and why park it at the train station...
