I went the $2.99 chromed route from an auto parts store, but I'm really going to miss that little Porsche logo staring me in the face everytime I check the air.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

19 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I had ANOTHER set of Porsche crest valve stem caps stolen last night. This is my second pair. Before I buy another, does anyone know of an anti-theft or locking version that looks good? I saw one on Ebay but it looked a little homemade. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Probably kids taking them for their bicycles. Sorry to admit, but I used to do the same thing. Back then the coolest ones to get were the dice though.

POST 4Original post

I too have had mine stolen, I just buy and keep an extra set off of ebay. I must admitt I always have one stolen at a time which would have me agree that it is kids, however if you must steal them I prefer these to my center caps or something more expensive, sorry for your loss!

POST 5Original post

Yeah, when I was a punk kid my friends and I would do the same crap and steal valve stem caps. I'm afraid to get nice ones now because Karma is waiting for me I think.

POST 7Original post

Tighten it extra tight or just use rubber ones

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I went the $2.99 chromed route from an auto parts store, but I'm really going to miss that little Porsche logo staring me in the face everytime I check the air.

POST 10Original post

I've even had my $2 metal ones stolen from my BMW a few times.

POST 11Original post

I have a set of those caps in silver. I don't use them because they are much bigger than the valve stem and look dorky, and seem to weigh as much as a balancing weight.

POST 12Original post

Fill you tires with poison gas and leave the schrader valve out?

POST 13Original post

Connect a pair of wires from the battery to each cap and when they go to steal them... ZAAP!

POST 14Original post

I have 10 extra sets of the the Porsche crest caps if anyone needs some. They "fell off a truck". I use GT2 valve stem caps now on my cab. Gives me an extra 10 mph on top end. But seriously, I used to have the aluminum caps on my car, and was getting stolen every time I went to a PCA event. I went to the metal GT2 caps and have been theft free since.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Those look the same as the BMW uses also. Orient, where do you pick up the GT2 caps? I like the look and want the extra top end. ;-)

POST 16Original post

Where are you "leaving" the car to get them swiped? I can't leave my car in such places?

POST 17Original post

You can get the caps for $4 a piece at the Porsche parts counter, or just go steal them from a BMW.

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The caps were stolen off my car parked in front of a restaurant on Irving Place in Manhattan...and I mean right in front. It's like the Godfather preaches: never sit with your back to the front door.

POST 19Original post

I always prefer the gunfighter seat, in the back corner facing everyone.
