Mount them on his vintage Morgan trike...

Got my set of 5 from Moss Mini 3 weeks ago and they haven't been stolen. I think it helped that I've had them in the glove box and not on the tires

Got mine too.

Yep. They got mine too.

I was dumbfounded. I can’t imagine what anyone would want with them. I bought new ones and some extras for $.25 each at the dealer.

Nice one MC
It was probably some little sh*t who nicked 2 of my Kahn caps as well. If I catch em after the other 2 i'll do more than make them cry

A Black One to a VX220 .. onto a 250bhp Focus RS . . . and now an 05 MCS

Sweet, that has made my night power to the (MINI)People! this might sound stupid, but top of my list post delivery is to get out the pliers and do them up nice and tight.

I had never even heard of this problem before I frequented MINI2, probably because I drive such a scabby car
