    Mga tol,

    Though parang walang solution, still I am hoping na someone can give me a bright idea so this problem.

    I have no garage so I park on the road. Almost monthly, my tire cap is being stolen. Buti na lang at di everyday. Is there a way para di manakaw ang tire cap?

    Unfortunately wala unless you glue it shut or remove it everytime you park at night.

    What kind of caps do you use? Rubber or yung bakal?

    Vinj,

    Tol ty. Yung parang stainless. I do not know kung rubber or bakal yon. Usually pa naman, yung dalawa lang ang nananakaw. Yung kalapit sa gutter hindi. But last night, naging tatlo na. Natira lang ay yung isang nasa front tire. Seguro dahil di na naabot.

    You could buy some 'locking' cable ties (used to organize cables like inside appliances), and tie them to the wheel itself. You need to cut them nga lang if you want to remove the cap, but it sure makes stealing the cap a hell of a lot harder.

    Tighten it with pliers, a quarter turn will do. Then use pliers again when you need to put air in.

    Kahit na plastic or stainless, even alimunum caps can be tightened with extra torque.

    what are we talking about here yung takip ng pito o hubcaps? kung hubcaps yung sa amin hindi ninakaw pero binasag naman siguro nahirapan makuha kaya sinira na lang.
