But If one of his matched yours exactly...??? Sure, he could probably pry it off without leaving marks...but unless he had a rubber mallet and strategically hit it....you'd know or should know.

What would I do once convinced?? Dunno, I'm not one to say "I wouldla done this or I woulda done that"...once the switch flips in my head, it's out of my hands and control.

Good Luck Rick. Easier said than done, but let cooler heads prevail

In fact there were fresh marks where it had been pried off and it did match mine exactly.

Would have been interesting to take it , leave note; "took my hub back and leave your contact info with it!

See what's shaking

So as luck would have it, I am back down there yesterday and I find an exact match for mine in roughly the same place. I guess maybe it did fall off.

Then I get home last night and find that my left rear hub is missing.

Ordered a new one last night.

He obviously needs it more than me. Karma sure can be a vindictive bitch, wouldn't want to be him.

Rick, take yours back and give him my info as I can sell him these three center caps.... and three 16" alloys if he wants too!

Damn! in order to get revenge you'd have to find a new spot to fish LOL.
I know I would take mine back, eel his antenna and pull 2 valve stems from 2 of his tires.

Then find a new spot to fish.

But then he would likely eventually come accross your rig later and do somethign worse to you, so maybe its best to let Karma get him.

So what if fellow S-B'ers all watch for a suburban with 3 GMC caps and one older one with no lettering and perhaps assist Karma in its search to find him.



Salvage yard has lots of suburbans.. I sold my POS to Pick and Pull a few months ago 1997 had 4 good caps no lettering. (rear end seized on mine and had more rust then the wreck of the titanic.

Don't know how easy / hard they are to get off on the Chevy but the Ford were on good, needing low yield explosives to come undone.

can use anythign from a house key to a fish hook or even a strong fingernail to pop off the ones on most suburbans. pretty easy.
