Some scumbag took 2 of my Enki caps about 2 months ago. He came back 3 weeks later and took the other 2. Apparently it's some 20 something guy that drives a silver Merc and trolls our paroing lot stealing stem caps... wtf?

I may or may not have stolen them as a high schooler. With that being said I have run the nice painted metal caps on my BRZ since I got my wheels and haven't had them stolen. I have never had them stolen on any of my previous cars as well. I am sure results will vary based on where you live.

So they know who it is and no one has followed him and stolen the inserts out of his valve stems?

While I was putting them on, it suddenly occurred to me that it might be easily stolen. Has this happened to anybody here? Just curious.

Never knew these existed. After a quick internet search.... tadah
