On one of our many trips to Texas years ago, we were the victims of thieves who stole a hubcap from our car. The car was very similar to the one in the picture above. It was a Ford. I don't remember for sure the year but it was very much like this one.
We had stopped at a rest area to use the rest room. We parked in a very open place beside several other cars. We went into the rest rooms and I know we couldn't have been out of the car more then maybe ten minutes. We came back and got in the car
and left.
After we arrived in Texas we discovered that the hubcap was missing. We knew
what happened had to be at the rest area because we did not stop at any other place and there was no chance for anyone to take the hubcap anywhere else.
Some one must have been watching for just the right hubcap to enter the area and
had to have hopped on it right away because we were away from the car for no more
than ten minutes. I guess that was long enough for them to take a crow bar, or whatever tool they used, and pry off the hubcap.
Luckily my cousin happened to have a son who worked at the Ford place and he got
us another hubcap and put it on for us.
I hope they enjoyed using our hubcap. We were out probably about $20. They will be out an afterlife in Heaven (unless they change).
