Post how to prevent theft of...?

for those wheels that have center hub plate covers that cover the lug nuts, how do you prevent someone from stealing those hub covers?

hey, Tim should have a contest challenging anyone to come up with a way to prevent someone stealing them and if someone comes up with a reasonable and feasible way, then he is entitled to one free (reasonable) mod from Tim...

LoL .. sounds like a good idea.. but now the next step is how do we secure the battery or wire it so they can't just unhook the cables.. man this is getting complicated..

well for those with a centercap, i say we all call the rim manufactures and demand special screw locks =) something similiar to lugs but screws =)

My rims have a bunch of weird sized allen(not sure if that is how you spell it) screws. If they happen to have a wrench and want it that bad, they can have the center caps. Just don't scratch the paint.

Cool

Put some nasty ass chemical agents on them. Opposite of shock. Burn baby burn!

Of course, you'll need gloves in the trunk.
