Default Some low life has stolen my dust caps!

What on earth is the matter with people?
I have just been giving the car a wash and when I got to the wheels I saw that all the dust caps have gone. They were the ones with the Rover logo on top. They are cheap enough on eBay so I cannot see anyone retiring on the proceeds.
I guess it was Wednesday night as on Thursday morning my wife's door mirror glass was hanging out and a guy from across the road had the rear bumper hanging off his S type.

What on earth do these Pillocks get out of it?
It is so stupidly mindless. I just cannot begin to understand it.
I reckon it is a waste of good fresh air every time they draw breath.

No actual harm done to us thanks. My wife's mirror glass clipped back in and I can easily get more dust caps. When I see the guy with the S type I will find out if he had any real damage. My wife just told me tha a lot of mirrors had been messed with that morning.
I just cannot for the life of me see what on earth they get out of it.

The Rover & MG logo'd dust caps look good but I wouldn't have them for this very reason, I'll stick with black plastic.

Be on some 10 year old's Raleigh Chopper!

Just be thankful that the little angels haven't put a key down the side instead!

Simply replace with black plastic ones (as they left the factory) and you won't lose any more!

Had eggs thrown at my car last Saturday night/Sunday morning. Makes you wonder if it's worth it, doesn't it!

Some clown danced on my previous car which I left parked in a pub car park. It leaves you with not much faith in the human race..
