What are the chances??

[ProfessorM]

it's a hub cap, I'd let it go. Not saying the person responsible is a nice person, a scumbag, but not worth a confrontation.

I agree, its not worth something bad happening if you confront them. But I should talk... 3 weeks ago, I'm suiting up at my spot in Newport at 2 am when I hear this small car with a bad muffler slowing down and pulling in. This real sketchy looking dude with the hat turned sideways and his friends, drives by real slow, eyeballing me the whole way. They go up a ways until I cant see them anymore, but dont come back out. I get finished getting dressed and am still thinking these guys are waiting me out. I waited a couple of more minutes, before I locked up and headed down to my spot. I always park my truck so I have a good vantage point from where I fish, as Ive heard of people getting broke into, but never a problem. After about 45 minutes, I hear the sound of their muffler coming out, but no lights on. I started watching my truck, but could only barely see it, as it was a moonless night. Sure enough I see a small penlight come on, and start looking in my windows. I start heading back across the rocks as quick as I can, as fast as you can with Korkers, and make it up the hill to the road. The plugs in my bag were making noise as I ran toward my truck with my light off. I yelled to get the f#*! away from my truck, and he flashed his light real quick on me before jumping back in the car and screwing out of there. I flicked on my light to see their plate, but they were too far away. I could make out a total of 3 of them in the car. I did call the cops and gave them a description, but never heard anything. Not that I would cause they didn't steal anything. You gotta just hope these scumbags will get their own someday and get busted. It pisses you off and you react, but it wasn't until the ride home I thought about what could have happened if they decided to come after me. It could have been ugly. It's hard to not do something though when someone messes with your stuff.

Always write a suspicious vehicles plate down for future reference, always. Snap a pic even, I do.

I never suggested anything like checking others hubcaps. Just saying write your name on your property. If the other suspect agrees to remove to check, it's up to them. Like Paul said, it's just a hubcap for crying out loud

I think ProfessorM gives sound advise. I agree

[redcrbbr]

rick, my burb is heading to the boneyard, your more than welcome to the caps. it is older than yours 1994

[rickhern]

Thanks Bob, already ordered one. Then again, I suppose having an extra or 2 wouldnt hurt. Give you a riggie for them.

[redcrbbr]

i'll put them aside for you

[rickhern]

LMAO I get a text at 6:03 this am from the owner of the vehicle in question accusing me of stealing his hubcaps. Best defense is a good offense I guess.

Gonna let this go. Wish I could say more guys, but please respect this and let it go.

i will brand my hubcaps ....like cattle on a ranch
