[Shotimes] brakes

[Ron Porter]

I was constantly getting the chrome valve caps from ,y chrome wheels on the
'89 stolen, then I gave up and got the black plastic ones.

Had some nice blue Ford-logo caps on the '94 that matched the car, and had
three of those stolen. These were stolen late at night at a sports bar, so I
suspect it wasn't young kids. I just do cheapie caps now, ain't worth it!!

Someone stole 2 of my specialized ASA valve stem
covers once! I had to order more from tirerack.

Not quite the same as stealing the rim but I had
criminal hands on my rims at some point. Drunken
Rutgers @#^*&'s, no doubt!
