Default Merry X'mas to me....Someone took a wheel cap =(

Sooo I'm starting at my car while I was telling one of my neighbors directly across the street Merry Xmas... At fist I look at one of my wheels and go hmnn seems odd I can't see the B logo. (Maybe its just lighting)...
I walk closer to the car.... "sheisty *oth3r ****ers"....


I look closer.........I'm missing a wheel cap...I It had just been there 3 hours before I went to go make some photocopies at local office depot...I hit no potholes or anything and those caps were on there well. I needed to hammer them out anytime I balanced the wheels...=(

tbh if its just ONE cap its more likely to have randomly fallen off

that's why i'm hoarding caps for my wheels now whenever i see them for sale

I tried taking the others off they're stuck pretty well in there(short of a pick or hammering from the bore out were the 2 ways to take them off)...The valvestem on that wheel was loose too..The rest were tight.

Or someone with reps wanted 1 cap


(those look like reps to me for some reason) the way the valve stem sticks out) vs the "bolts"
