Hi Sheilz, like Eddie I had some "theft" proof caps - but they got nicked :evil:

www.speeding.co.uk do a few nice ones or you can get them from ebay.

I have even had black plastic ones nicked

Be ccareful what material the lockable caps are Shielz. I got aluminium ones that bonded to my ruddy valve stems. They were unstealable though. :)

Got cheapos from Halfords just now but will get decent ones for H2. Am away to scour the streets, lanes and parks in Aberdeen and I'm going to beat up the first kid I can find with mini caps!! Could make this a mini treasure hunt!

Where my folks live the kids there are currently going through a craze where they nick the caps and show off who has the most and fanciest ones - wee turds!

My advice would be, if your wheels are less than 18", next time you get new tyres, ask to have flush valve caps fitted, looks much better and pointless for the kiddies to steal!!:evil::D
