Default Stolen center caps

Parked in a darker part of a home depot parking lot about a half an hour before closing. Then went to a slightly shady 7-11 (people just hanging out outside). Lost 3 cheapie ebay center caps on my RPF1's at some point during this trip. I had just bought another set because I had one stolen a few weeks before (outside Chili's in Palo Alto). Now I have a total of 4 left (out of 8), anyone have any tips on securing center caps? The portion of the hub behind the cap makes the setup look half-assed.

I'll be checking craigslist for them, since I had to dremel the rear caps to make them fit. Did a messy job so it should be quite easy to spot

Also yay or nay on the caps for black rpf1's:

Blue on the antenna? I use red, mofo's never coming off. I'd superglue the caps so you can't pry them out but some precise hits from the backside work well.

Not EPA, the Chili's on El Camino towards Menlo Park. Seems like wherever there are people looking for work (manual labor, e.g. Home Depot, Lowe's), things disappear. I'm not a huge fan of the caps either but the hubs I have showing behind them are rusted and makes the rims look ghetto. Maybe its time to change the hubs, but easier to glue caps. For now, I keep them off unless I know I won't be driving in the ghetto.
