It's not the end of the world, but I had one of those little air pressure indicators (that you screw onto the valve) as my front tire has a very slow puncture, and some thieving c*** nicked it off the bike last night while parked up at the hospital.

Jeebus, it maddens me that someone can just thieve something off a bike without any concience. Evil or Very Mad

I'm tempted to ask the hospital to ask if they have any CCTV (there are cameras there, not sure if they point at the bike parking though) but I'd feel a bit daft when they inevitably ask what was taken, and I reply that it was...er... a valve cap.


but then, as my father always says; "Theft! Is the sincerest form of flattery.."

They might have saved you life. Putting a weight on the end of a motorcycle tyre valve isn't a great idea.

I'll be sure to thank them for that...as I push their face through the nearest available window. Very Happy

i know the feeling. I had some scumbags steal my bike cover from work. I wouldn't mind but the young kids on the estate saw the guy doing it, told him to stop and he "he just laughed and walked off with it"

I could hug the life out of the thieving wretches Twisted Evil
