    Mystery of the Bass Cat Tire valve caps?

    This is more of an annoyance than anything else, but I was wondering if my experience is shared by others. I lose or have someone steal my orange bass cat tire valve cap several times a year. Has anyone else experienced this strange occurrence. I lost one at Lake Griffen and never saw a Bass Cat on the water or the parking lot. Just weird....

    People have certainly grasped them for keepsakes in some locations. Seems to us it’s a youth and hood ornament thing, much like the thefts of bronze balls on trailer grab posts before we went black phenolic.

    They also loosen up if you don't give them an extra twist and can eventually fall off.

    Crowded ramps we would say as we haven’t lost them towing.
