Roundel Valve Covers Stolen....again!

stefman · 07-10-2007, 02:27 AM

I'm so upset, my BMW Roundel valve covers were stolen today for the second time. :mad:

Really fed up with these silly petty thieves. Burn in hell thief!

Just venting

PshhhhhMW · 07-10-2007, 02:32 AM

yea... i would bet that valve covers are the most stolen things in the world. i would buy a $1.95 set of cheap chrome covers to replace the stock ones they stole and not even a week later, they steal those! black plastic ones are the only ones they don't steal i think lol.

What kind of places are you parking where this is happening?

nusevad · 07-10-2007, 02:44 AM

Wow thats just pathetic...they are probably gonna end up on Ebay or something. I guess stick with the rubber black ones.

Yeah that's most probably what I'm going to do. Not worth my trouble getting the roundel ones.

Stem caps right? Or are his valve covers really being stolen?

SES_D · 07-10-2007, 06:43 AM

I feel ya man. My roundels were jacked some time ago. People have no lives, take advantage of others, but when shit happens to them that's when they'll get it. Karma FTW.

Sorry to hear this though.

E90Russ · 07-10-2007, 07:39 AM

if you use a set of pliers and tighten them just a little bit more than hand tight that can stop thieves sometimes.

JmanE55 · 07-10-2007, 11:05 AM

That's just wrong.

ZuerstBMW · 07-10-2007, 08:05 PM

Too bad they dont have ones that shock you when you try to remove them(besides the owner of course)

cn555ic · 07-10-2007, 08:31 PM

Wow i guess people in Singapore steal roundels...Its gotta be some dumb ass kids doing that....I remember when i was 13 or 14, i used to take chrome valve covers from the wheels...It was stupid but i chimed in with my friend to take them and collect them...Best thing is that they only took your roundels and not your CAR!!!!

shocka1212 · 07-10-2007, 09:54 PM

i caught someone in the process of stealing mine. and it was not pretty. the sad part is that it was parked out in front of my house. good thing my dog started barking because the person who tried stealing it was walking their dog. damn theives, i chased them down and made em give up the two caps they had originally stolen.

e90owner1 · 07-10-2007, 11:00 PM

oldaccount · 07-10-2007, 11:01 PM

if you have TPMS, they actually did you a favor.

the brass bmw caps will eventually fuse themselves to the aluminum valve stem.

you'll need to destroy the caps if not also the stems to get them off.

RANJHA · 07-11-2007, 06:08 AM

same shit happened to me :mad:

Tobizach · 07-11-2007, 06:12 AM

Valve caps and antenna balls, these things always get stolen for as long as I can remember anyway. Imo dont install anything that isnt bolted, screwed or glued on.
