So I got my tires rotated a while back at Schwabs but afterward one tire was going flat. I checked the valve stem with the spit test and it was leaky. I didn't have a core tool so I stoped by Schwabs to get it tightened or replaced. I told the guy "my valve core is leaking" and then when they pulled my runner in the back the guy that did the work took the whole wheel off and put in in water and put it back on. When he was done he gave the key back and said "yea, the vavle core was just a little loose" and I check the tickett and it said "flat repair" lol. Then I get home and I see they took my chrome vavle cap! They didn't charge me but still. I guess they just stoped listening to people that think they know whats wrong. Worked out in the end, minus a chome cap.

They took your "bling". Go kick some ass.

I stopped buying the chrome valve caps years ago, since people kept stealing them...

Back when I was a tire tech, I would still dunk the tires just to make sure that there are no other leaks.

The kids in my neighborhood kept stealing the chrome caps to put on their bikes. Pissed me off. Black caps work just as good for me.

You know those chrome caps will give you at least 5hp according to some ricers, you've gotta go back and get your bling

I have these caps called "spin caps" on my alloy wheels that are aluminum and require a key to remove them (off ebay for about $10 a set). One reson the chrome caps are nice is because they have a rubber seal. If it wasn't for that my tire whould have been tottaly flat. The seal was keeping the air from leaking out.

Have you gone back and asked for it back? Its probably sitting on the tire changing machine.

No, I was all the way hame and short on time by the time I noticed. Should have checked it before I left. No big deal. I have more at my perents house.
