Help! I need advice about hubcaps. I live in a neighborhood where people often steal hubcaps off the wheels of cars. I am considering putting zip ties on the hubcaps of my car so the thieves will avoid my car and go to easier targets. My car is pretty dumpy and the hubcaps sometimes fall off anyways, but I had the hubcaps stolen twice too. Is putting zip ties to connect the hubcaps to the wheel a good idea? All info would be appreciated.

It’s tricky bc on one hand it could help, but on the other hand it might make the thief try harder, or it’ll make ‘em mad and they’ll smash your window out of spite… you could do it and leave one of those small “pet watcher cameras” hidden somewhere, bc then either way you can catch their face and bring it to the police.
@MissNoahLenFoxx The police are just as nasty as the thieves where I am from. Even if I was able to catch the hubcap thief, the police officer would simply say "it's a trivial matter", get angry that I had called, and may even try to arrest me for taking up their time. I still appreciate your timely reply and consideration. Best Regards!
@MissNoahLenFoxx it's just the hassle of dealing with cops. They'll kill ya and have a good chance of beating the charge along with beating a traffic offense citizens. Stay out of Memphis! Nashville ain't much better cop wise. I know, my folks live in Kentucky and I am in Texas you have to pass through Tennessee or drive to St Louis
