Wow that's a really kind offer. Mine is a '2020. I'll gladly pay the shipping. IDK how to confirm the fit but if they don't, I'll pay them forward. PM sent.

Years ago buddy a mine gave me a real fancy digital tire gauge in a nice leather pouch which I left in the glovebox for the tech to take home, apparently.

Nowdays I do a quick look around and remove any purloinables.

I looked up 2020 caps and this is what it shows


Mine look like these

Not sure that they will fit. Got your PM. I'll ship them out tomorrow.

This makes me glad that I have a great tire and alignment shop in town. I know all of the guys there and send them a lot of business, so they really take care of me and all of my friends. They actually take good care of everyone who comes through their doors, I sit and watch them while I'm waiting for my car.

They happen to be all Armenians, who are fantastic people in general, but of course good people are good people wherever they come from. They are proud people and would never do anything so punkish as steal out of a customer's car. I leave everything in my car and don't give it a second thought. I'm sorry to hear of your experience, that's a bummer.

Indeed a bummer but not a big loss AND as it turns out an opportunity for yet another Pelican to exercise their kindness muscle.

This.
And a good tech would have pointed it out to the boss before they touched the car so there would be no question about it later. I brought in the DD for tires and the guy came out to say that one of my rims had curb rash on it before he took the old tires off. Told him I knew about it...

Definitely tell the owner. Just mention as an FYI without saying the guy lied. "I'm 99% sure there were 3 when I brought it in but when I left there was only 1" Let the owner come to his own conclusions.

My dealer does a short walk around video of every vehicle coming in for every service....inside and out.

I like that as I too have had mishaps where things disappeared or damage was done to the vehicle during the service and the normal denials "it was that way when it got here" kind of thing.

It is sad that this is necessary, but that is the world we live in where the morals and ethics are basically gone or spotty at best.

Package on the way.......you won't be too impressed with them but a cleaning and some spray paint
should make them look better than nothing.
