We had this happen when we lived in Georgetown. I bought some cheap plastic hubcaps (from Kmart back then) and once on, they looked like normal ones. Someone stole those too eventually - they were probably mad they didn't get the real thing.

Cheap, crappy cars with cheap steel wheels. Probably Hyundai or Kia or Toyota or some other kind of cheapie subcompact econobox.


actually the prius has a kind of nice aluminum rims to save weight, but they have an aerodynamic wheel cover to help with the airflow around the vehicle



tesla does the same


i would not be suprised if some other hybrids do this

Prius hubcaps cost ~$110 each.

There's a market for this kind of stuff.

I had this happen to my car. It was close in time to some road work happening in my neighborhood and I think it was someone associated with the road crew. It stopped once the work was completed. I think the thieves sell them.

Who steals hubcaps ? Has this happened to anyone else ? Or is this a new thing ?


Maybe I should invest in a security system for all 4 tires

People have been stealing hubcaps as long as cars have existed. It’s definitely not a new or unique experience.

Be glad your tires weren't taken. Popville chronicles how often people wake up to see their car tireless.
