MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - The Great Valve Caps or Dust Caps Being Stolen Thread...

Someone stole two of the steel valve caps off my tires recently! I could see smudges in the brake dust (had just cleaned them so there wasn't much, but enough) so I don't think they fell off on their own. They only took two so the working theory is some kid has some snazzy valve caps on his bicycle now...

Oh well, they were only $0.52 each at my local MINI dealer's parts department and it gave me an excuse to drop by and get another free espresso and check out the latest deliveries... Oh and I heard there might be some MINI valve caps out soon (then I'll have REAL problems).
