Well, I had the Posh Bunny out this week end when I noticed that one of the centre caps missing from the wheels. I figure some jerk stole it while I was in the BORG.
Well I had a set for BBS wheels so no real big deal.
Later I thought I would look on e-Bay to see it there were any available. Yup, found a set with no bids. So I offered $10. and the window says I am the first bidder with a bid of 49 cents and there was 26 minutes left in the auction.
I won, now I have a replacment set just like the one that was stolen on the way.

Re: Frustration
Yes car thief's are a little lower than a politician in my book, both are pond scum.

Re: Frustration
I put them as that white crust at the corner of your mouth, but pond scum is right up there too.
Sucks Phil, but glad you now have a spare set.

Re: Frustration
While I hate thieves with a passion, I do have to say, based on experience , that the center cap could've popped out while you were driving the car. Happened to mine... twice; once while I don't know where, and the other I watched rolling down the freeway interchange in my mirror. I, too, bought a full set, but brand new ones (the roundels that came with my RZ's were well used and I didn't want to buy more used ones fearing they'd fall out as well; I wanted new so that they'd fit tightly in the caps, and they do!).
Sucks, though, either way. Good to hear you got a replacement set for cheap!

Re: Frustration
It turns out that it is quite easy to find caps for the RAs I have. The centre caps VW uses for all the alloy MK IV wheels are the same size.
