I'm getting really tired of people stealing my wheel bolts. This never happened with any of my other cars, but for some reason people just LOVE to take them off my RX-7. Why? Are they too stupid to try asking Autozone before they hunt down RX-7's and steal their bolts? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. It's really not any fun to have to call up your buddy to have him pick you up from a parking lot and take you to Nappa to buy 12 wheel bolts every few months. ARGH

My rims are pretty ugly. Stock '83 with most of the clear coat gone and lots of gouges. They tend to take 3 from each wheel and leave the last one probably because they don't feel like taking the time to jack my car off the ground. When I went down to AIM Tuning, a lot of the 1st gens were missing bolts the same way mine had been taken.
maybe you have a enemy and don't even realize it, if this has happened more then once I would be aware... Maybe park near cameras or something, I hate people that do this kind of crap and don't appreciate others things.

People who dislike the car that much just do things like key "paint me" onto the hood or write "smoking is bad for your health" on the fender with a Sharpie
16 lock nuts? Doesn't sound much more fun than buying new bolts.
What do you mean by take the caps off? I didn't know there were caps on there

they are bolts with a removable head. the head is splined and the cap is also. I had one that the splines were rusted down and the caps would slip on it. Had to make a special tool to take it off with. Once the heads are off they look just like Lock nuts But they are not as easy to remove as lock nuts.
