Re: Had my hubcaps stolen today
 

Check out some new wheels for your car from tirerack.com. Pep Boys may have
some cheap wheels also.
I would if I could not find in expensive wheel covers or a nice set of used
wheels.
Or search around for some cheap wheel covers so the same thieves can come
back and take those too! :-(

I just had my Jeep Cherokee stolen and I got it back with the alloy wheels
(with wheel locks). I was very lucky.
If I had wheel covers they probably would have taken those off.

Good luck!
later,

What this country needs is a good Death Penalty law ...

"Your Honor, the little bastard was stealing parts off my truck."

"Oh, well then, he needed killing?"

"Yes, your Honor, he needed killing."

"OK, you're good to go."

"Thank you, your Honor."

Back when it was cool to steal mercedes mascots, They came out with one
where the mechanism that allowed it to flex was incorperated to a switch for
the alarm. I had a customer who lived in a bad part of town and we wired his
to a bank teller's dye pack firing out the grill.. Refilled it three times
in one month, then they left his car alone. I would have used a claymore.
