Well done that man, I hope you can sleep at night.
You wouldn't be so forgiving if the petty theft as a lad progressed into TWOC and subsequently causing death by reckless driving, especially if it affected you or yours ....

Anyway, i've said my peace - IMHO the punishment was a bit harsh for the value of what he'd nicked.

It was theft plain and simple. The value of what was stolen is immaterial.

I assume you were a perfect child and never once got up to anything a wee bit dodgy?
Just because I hold a different opinion from you doesn't make me right and you wrong AND vice versa.

The same argument could be used for justifying doing 90mph on an empty motorway, but we all know what the law thinks of that 
Where to draw the line? Nanny state or 'eye for an eye'?
Anyway, this has got a bit deep for a post about valve caps!
Whoosh....

Perhaps a better outcome would have been taking the young lad round to his parents and asking them to make their son empty out his pockets. Viola - valve caps returned and probably a good shouting-at by his dad.

He was also wrong and has lost his paper round for it and hopefully learnt a valuable lesson.
Let him go unpunished and see what he moves onto next.
I regularly get verbally & physically assaulted by kids at work. I'm sure they started with something small as well. I would quite happily pay the airfare to send those little b@stards to the middle east though.

Sorry, I just have to ask something as I think I missed the point of this thread. Are STi valve caps special? I checked mine and they're just normal black caps.
AM I MISSING OUT???
