Default Has this ever happened to anyone?

Ok, so i went to work, and when i got off it was about 10 or 11. when i was walking up to my car i noticed something odd. i was missing the 2 center caps to my bullitt rims on my passenger side!!! seriously who steals those? is there even a market for that kind of stuff? thats like the equivelent of stealing chrome valve stem caps. im pretty pissed. I guess i will just have to order some Deep dishes so i can have new ones

That sucks man. I've never had that happen to me. Where I live, if you leave your car on the street, it is likely to get its tires slashed, so I put it in the driveway, and have never had it happen.

thats sucks! center caps are pretty expensive. i think it would be hard to get them off the rim.

Which happened to me over here in Spain. And the fukstik's also tore the pony emblem off my grill. But, I will have my revenge... oh yes, I will have my revenge.

I had the windshield wipers & wiper arms & cowl cover stolen of my '86GT a few years ago.. freakin theives

Then I had my plexiglass smoked taillight cover stolen off the back of it. It was velcroed on, but I guess they yanked soo hard that they actually ripped the whole brakelight cover off both the taillights [:@]

When I was in college, I had a buddy that had a Viper. Came out from the bar one night and all 4 center caps were stolen off the car. There was one other VIper in town that had been missing center caps and we saw the next day that the dude had center caps on his car. Who knows.

Another buddy had in HS had a fullsize Bronco and had the beauty rings stolen several times. I hate thieves.

my grandpa told me a story that when he was my age, he bought a beater car for $50. when he parked it he had all four hub caps stolen and he couldn't figure out why


I've had little stuff snatched here and there, nothing too big that i can't replace it. one time when i dropped my car at a shop i got it back and someone had t ried to break in overnight, and i had to tear the whole door apart and fix stuff
