Title: I've Been Robbed Again And Feel So Deflated
Post by: AlanHo on October 11, 2018, 09:09:57
A few days ago I went out in the car and after driving for about 5 minutes the tyre pressure warning light came on. After months of warm weather, autumn has arrived and night time temperatures have fallen. The instrument display showed 3 tyres at 32 psi and one tyre at 31 psi. I usually keep them all at 36 psi, but had neglected to check them for quite some time.
When I returned home to inflate them with my trusty Michelin 12v compressor – I found that 3 of the valve dust caps were missing. The last time I inflated the tyres there were 2 dust caps missing.
Déjà vu – there are petty thieves about.
Because they are only plastic and cost pence not pounds, I find this more irritating than if they had stolen the whole car. I have ordered 8 dust caps from Ebay for a total of £1.99 (including postage) to ensure I have spares in the boot for the next time it happens.

I'm getting truly tyred of this (Cuts @The Gonz off at the pass from posting one of his puns) :rofl:

I would have thought a quick stop in at your local tyre shop would have netted you as many caps as you needed. FOC.

I'm fairly certain that dust caps are becoming collectable items around Manchester too :rolleyes:
Still, I try and balance it all up by filching replacements :whistler:

I'm so pumped I got a mention from Alan. Yes, I do feel the pressure to generate a pun at every turn, which is why I check regularly (more regularly than Alan checking his tyres, obviously) :lol:
