    Your not too far away to get them back though!

    I think your ST is the only one I've not seen yet, there's at least 5 other blue ones in the area.

    Someone needs to invent a device to electrocute anyone who touches the metal dust caps, maybe it could store all the static from the car so anyone who tries to nick them gets a nice shock :P

    That's not a bad idea haha! I've just got some of the richbrook locking ones from halfords, nice match to the metal valves and they aren't taken off by Allen key or screwdriver ;) they just spin when you try and take them off without the tool :D so far so good I'd say considering my street is full of little kids..

    I had the same problem, but at £30 each from vauxhall it's no wonder they nick them. Such an easy £15 on ebay
