Default People are stealling my Land Rover Center caps

Guys,
Bought my land rover with NO center caps.
Cause people must have taken them from the previous owner.

Now, I see ONE of my wheel caps are gone today.
Giving me that oh so nice Ghetto look.

Should I EPOXY those in or some such?

Anyone have a solution to keeping those on the .

And - moving is not an option for me unfortunately.
I am not in a Ghetto and will be soon out of apartments..

Forgot to mention - I did buy 4 new wheel caps and put them in while I was in Boulder.

Now in California people seem to be removing them on me.
Only one out of 4 gone so far..

I wouldn't use any super strong epoxy if you ever plan on having your tires balanced again.

I put some gasket maker on the backside of mine...more just to make sure they don't come off.
Would not see why you couldn't use something a little stronger/ semi permanent?
AHHH, life in the ghetto.
Just look for the kid that is wearing a "land rover emblem" necklace and ask him nicely for your center cap back.

Like Madlands says... need to be able to remove them when you balance... I have not had an issue.

Thanks guys.
Not sure how they pop them off.
Probably with a knife using the blade to snug under and just pop it out.
