Just noticed this morning some little pikey has nicked all my nice Fiat valve caps. Really f g irritates me!! Admittedly its about the 'best' thing they could nick or ruin. Wish I could hook them up to the battery overnight to teach them a lesson. Now I need some new ones, though am tempted to get some nice but low key ones so they don't attract attention. Going to be watching it like a hawk out of my window now. Do anti-theft ones really work? Anyone got any hot tips?

The anti theft ones on have a little allen key don't they. Still not exactly super safe.

The ones I've seen have an allen key, but I know you can get spinny ones...not sure which are best though?

I got some nice ones a while back and they were on the car less than 24 hours before someone nicked them I then got some more ones and despite lots of grease they ended up being bonded to the valve caps, luckily I was replacing all four tyres at the time so they could just be cut off. I now just use the plain black ones, far easier really
Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...

I used to get mine nicked, it was the bloody school children from the school over the road nicking them for there bikes. They stoped doing it when i mounted the pavement with my foot welded to the accelerator pedel, killed 4 of them and draged the other for 2.5 miles This should be a sticky in the 'How To Guides'....!
