So I am a little pi##ed off. Some low life popped the center caps off my wheels. Hope they enjoy their new coasters.

$25 a piece.

Low life is spot on AL. That sucks. Someday it will be his turn and one can only hope it happens soon.

I thought they would be a lot harder than that to get off. They seem to really snap in tight. Did they take all four?

They got both the passenger side caps.

Scum of the earth. Thieves.

Similarly, I had this frustrating thing being the norm of owning a 1984 Camaro.
I will never forget having to remove my wheel caps every time I parked it.
Antagonizing and something that can easily become an OCD thing to say the least.
Just terrible that someone would take something of yours for granted as theirs.
Truly no other respectful purpose for them other than where they were.

Well at least they are easy to replace. $50 bucks of beer money gone and for the next 10 days my ocd will be flying high everytime I walk past the passenger side.

That's brutal! I can't stand thieves. Takes the joy out of having nice things.

Good thing you have the security lug nuts on them...they may have taken the wheels too.

What goes around comes around.. I hope theirs comes quickly and hard...The bums..

When we bought our used 2005 Corvette, it already had McGard lock nuts installed with the socket in the glove box. In the fall I would put the original painted wheels on for winter storage so the wheels had been off and on the car a few times and I ALWAYS use a torque wrench, never trusting the Armstrong torque wrench. On removing the wheels one fall, a big chunk broke out of one of the lock nuts. Thinking that I may not have had the socket on straight, I was extra careful and a small piece broke off another. I managed to get the bad nut off with the help of my die grinder, hammer and chisel. The nuts were glass hard. 62 Rockwell or more I would think. I run without them now. The picture shows from left to right, the socket, a good nut, the nut with the small piece out of it and the bad one that took a lot of work to remove. I spent 41 years as a tool and die maker so am used to such stuff. The average person, without the proper equipment would have had to go to a dealer to get the work done.
