    I normally spend part of every Saturday going to Megamall as part of my routine for almost 2 years now. Apart from the normal questions by the car wash boys for a car wash, i had no problems till this Saturday.

    After spending 3 hours at Podium and Megamall, I was shocked to discover that two of my tire valve caps were stolen. They were on the front and rear tires on the drivers side. Funny, although my mags are old school Tom's, those caps were just garden variety chrome plated ones that i bought at Concorde.

    I could imagine this type of situation happening if i parked at the openair parking lot but not in Podium basement.

    It's a common thing that tire valve caps...especially the chrome ones are eye catchers...so it's very tempting to steal them...What I do is to use a wrench size 10mm to tighten the caps so that the culprit could'nt steal it right away...he should have a wrench with him and passers by could spot that he is acting suspiciously and will get their attention....since I did this no caps were stolen from me na

    kainis nga yang gawa ng mga ugok na makati ang kamay. ako 4 times na siguro ako nagpalit ng tyre valve caps at lagi na lang nawawala.

    anyway, since 2 ang nawala kung hindi yung roving guard e sigurado isa sa mga motorcycles na nakapark malapit sa car mo ang kumuha.
