I always thought of that as a fuse.
It was a kid prank. I heard that they would take them off if a door was unlocked, put them in the back seat - that way you did not steal. But problem was you could never see reaction so the kids that I heard did it, gave up really quick. By the way I never was a bad kid ( just ask my MOM) and never did it, just heard about it!! BUT:Wasn't it that body style or another that was known to have their caps stolen all the time?
A cousin and I saw too kids do it to someone's bug....not us of course! We were.....well I was a 'very' good kidIt was a kid prank.

The Mastersons across the street had a 66 VW bug. Heard people say you could pick the front end up of the ground. Of course I knew a person could not pick up a car by themself. Until I tried it. It actually easy. Just stand with your back to the front of the car, grab the bumper and straighten your legs. ( it has got to be got to be a 67 or earlier though- or so I heard). So someone could - not me of course - again Mom will verify, but two people would get it done quicker, would just lift it and turn it sideways in their driveway. Now we could watch Mr. Masterson come out in the morning look very puzzled and spend 20 minutes getting it back to normal ( he tried to stay off his lawn - which was impossible unless you lifted it), part of is puzzlement was the lawn was totally unmarked, so eventually he was forced to drive on it. Took us - not me of course- less than five minutes to rotate it on it's rear wheels. Just heard about it though - don't ya know!
