My metal dustcaps were stolen in the first week of ownership. I replaced with black plastic and not surprisingly these have not been stolen. My 12 year old son says kids at school sell them for 50pence for set of 4 - maybe I should put in an order 
It is noteworthy that Audi use plastic dustcaps ( even on my fiends ?60,000 RS6 ).

I am so angry this has happened to me at least five times on my BBS rk's came with bbs valve covers stolen 3 times once twice in my drive way, and once at the car pool car wash. Then i replaced them withthe BBs valve covers stolen twice i just purchased another set and i am really scared to put them on cause i may have to hurt the person if i catch them in the act of stealing my sh_t. It has not happened on my e6o BBS rxII's yet probably cause they are stored in the shed but as soon as it get hot i will see them missing

Hate to admit it, but I was one of those dump a** kids that used to do this. Also did many other dumb things, but I took them for my bike, but then someone would take them from your bike and then you would have to get some more...back to the cars. In Shapiro's parking lot in Indianapolis is where I could get them easily. Now that I am an adult, I see how stupid it was, and really how dangerous if someone were to really get upset.
I know I didn't steal any of yours, but I do apologize for keeping the practice going...back in my younger days!!! :'( :'( :'( :'(

Use a pair of pliers and tighten them a quarter of a turn and they wont be able to unscrew it with their fingers... and if they're prepared with pliars also... oh wells... lucky them...
MAN... I buy $15 caps that have nice little logos in them too... but then again I dont have that problem here in my part of California.
