I walked back to my Cooper yesterday and noticed that some scum bag had stolen my Mini Cooper valve caps ! Now as they are " Mini Cooper " logoed i think its fair to say its another classic mini owner..... I really could not believe someone who owns a classic Mini would actually do that... So if they come up for sale, let me know so i can go " collect them "  ( one cap is missing the logo btw )

Its pretty bad, when to drive your pride and joy in public you have to pull off all the bits that make it classic/unique. |

I caught a guy red handed trying to steal my car many years ago. Just another deadbeat junkie who I could have easily beaten the living s#it out off. When I hauled him into the gym *my place of work at the time* I also had half a dozen kickboxers and body builders also wanting to beat the sh1t out of him. Why didnt I have some fun? Because treating people like the a$$hats they are only gives them further justification for thier behavour. Besides.. I might have broken the skin on my knuckles and could have ended up catching hep B.. or worse! Who ever stole your caps has no respect for themselves, and therefore no respect for anyone else. Nothing you can say/do will change that, but take comfort in the fact that you are so much better than they are! You took the time to earn those caps.. you will find them again because you dont need to steal them! You love your car and its bits, they hate themselves in such a deep way that it enables them to treat everyone like s$it. Hint! never make assumptions on who stole your bits, often the truth is far stranger than fiction. But still if you can, look for them and try to find them. PS* just to note. If you are going to beat the crap out of someone in a premeditated sort of way, then latex gloves with riggers gloves over should give you enough protection for your skin as any sort of weapon will really only bring more trouble than its worth. PPS* for anyone missing the obvious.. the whole gloves/beating thing is a joke mmk. so hard to put *tone* into type

Hmmm, someone stole three of the "mini cooper" valve caps that were on my car.......they didn't have time to steal the 4th. Its a shame that the kid was faster than me, because I would of loved to get them back. |

I suppose I'm a bit of a deadsh!t too.....I once had a guy at a party take a swing at me, after hitting on my sister then pushing her around when she told him she wasn't interested. I told him to lay off, and him and his friend thought they'd have a got at me. He took his tough guy swing at me.........I broke his arm, told his mate to f&*k off, got my sister and my girlfriend and left. There are times when these pathetic maggots need to be taught that what they do isn't normal, it isn't right, and that at any time they could pick the wrong person. Just so happens that instead of playing cricket and football in highschool, I was into traditional chinese martial arts. I like to think that the piece of sh!t that thought it was alright to push my sister around thought better the next time he was going to do that. I'm not condoning wanton violence, and if I had my way again I'd have stopped before the break, but I can understand entirely the desperate feeling to commit voilence against the people who did this to your car. |

valve caps are the easiest thing to go missing on a car... so dont be so suprised and them being logoed mini cooper valve caps just made them even more attracting... heres the lesson for u and everyone: dont leave things on somewhat value on your car if u leave it in access of the public... especially valve caps. more then likely some cheeky kids wanting them for the push bike or any just someone who probably thought they could make so decent money from them off ebay. |

Someone broke into my car in the uk and stole the stereo, i wanted to be really angry but the guy did a really good job. He took the head unit and the speakers. He got into the door with no damage and removed the head unit and speakers with no damage....he even bundled up the wires and lined up all the screws on my dash, stood them on their heads and arranged them by size. Did a good job, strathfield did a worse job on a car here. Was kinda pissed off i had no stereo but luckily had bought a new one and it was atin my spare room. That said i hate thieving barstewards, and people who vandalize things...just dont get it. Physical punishment is the only answer, chef i work with woke up with a guy in his house, hit him with a steel, broke his kneecap and sat on him till the cops turned up....who congratulated him and said not to worry bout the fact th guy was trying to press charges against him...which were dropped. |

BINI's have have their own unique Logo for valve caps. Most Classic Mini drivers don't know this as they are hard to see if your head is up your ........ If a kid has stolen them to put on his bike just look for a kid on a 4 wheel bike. Its not rocket science
