How to secure center caps from theives?

Is there a way to secure center caps from thieves? I can imagine someone will just one day come and yank em off...

I wouldn't mind knowing this either. I know when I took my oem's off, it was literally 10 seconds per wheel, using a credit card and my fingernail. I've got carbon fibers on now, but I know there are theiving basterds everywhere.

I'd rather make them easier to steal. I'll buy a few sets and have em in the trunk or something.

Making them HARDER to steal means it's far more likely that the thieving animal scum will simply do more damage to your ride.

So I'd rather let em' have the center caps, comfortable in the knowledge that what comes around goes around. Scumbags have no future, it effects their friends their family and I'm good with that. Let em' all suffer, and live horrible pathetic lives...

They can have my caps... I'll buy more.
