Default Not a big loss, still a pisser

Just have to vent here a little. So this past weekend I was at my gf's softball game. It was nice out on Saturday so I drove my S. The game was at a local high school so I knew there would be ample parking. Of course I parked very far away from everyone else (I'm one of those) and thought everything would be fine. After the game ended I went back to my car and noticed the chrome Honda logo valve caps that I have were stolen. I mean who the hell goes around taking those. I live in a pretty nice suburb outside of chicago, so I wasn't in a bad area. I guess you just never know. I wish some people would have a bit more respect for other people's things and not do that. They only run like 20 bucks so the $$ isn't a big deal, it's just the lack of respect that gets me. Ah well, I guess I should be thankful that it wasn't harmed in any other way. Now I just have a cheap set of $2 chrome caps, no more honda ones for me, IMO, they were a really nice touch, though....

Kids - I can just about guarantee they'll end up on a bicycle somewhere.

However, considering they were Honda caps, don't overlook the local high school contingent - look for them on a slammed Civic...

That's not bad at all. At least they didn't scratch up your trunk while trying to steal the rear Honda Black Chrome badge.

That happened to me a couple of weeks ago during a church service...

I notice a lack of respect to respectful cars like the s2000 on this board... I pity them... any chance I get to see one is a blessing to me (until I get one... one day... hopefully lol )

I've had just regular chrome valve caps stolen off my Prelude before. Way back in 85, the Prelude Si came with chrome valve caps. Getting valve caps stolen is no longer shocker to me.

Just be glad they didn't steal your antenna.
