WTF Someone Tried To Steal My Rim Cap
So, today i have to go to school at 7 till one for the ACT (like the SAT). I park on the main street with everyone else (my alarm is on etc etc). So i finish the test and get in my car. One I start driving i hear this noise like christmas bells or something... im like wtf? so once i get home i get out my car and i see my rim cap (i have Torque Thrust IIs) dangling off its last screw. all other 4 were gone. Now we all now that 5 screws tightly on ddidnt just magically fall off so someone really wanted my rim caps. PEOPLE ARE RETARTED. just thought id share. now i get to look for extra screws

Don't jump to that conclusion to fast.
I've lost 2 center caps off my TTiis. Those tiny little allen head bolts are short and if you didn't crank them down and/or locktite them can and do loosen up and fall out.

May as well keep an eye out on the side of the roads of your normal commutes, in the off-chance they're around. (Hey, you never know...)

Yeah, if a thief had taken the time to take four off, the 5th would have come off too unless the timing was just right for you to come into view as he was starting on the 5th. I'm with the others. Loc-Tite them suckers.
