Someone stole my toe eye cap?!?!

My car was parked for about an hour on the street.

As I approached my car from behind, I immediately noticed the left side toe eye cap was missing. I looked around the car to make sure someone didn't tap my bumper and it fell off but it was nowhere to be found.

Who does this kind of crap?

I think he meant "tow" not "toe." You have to be real careful with homonyms these days (e.g. break and brake, winch and wench).

I think they make them way too easy to remove. I haven't gotten mine stolen but i have lost two while driving before in two separate occasions.

no worries, just trying to help a fellow member out.
which color is your vehicle? if you want to save a few bucks and aren't in a rush ask the dealer you use for sales and service to hold on to the cap and when they paint another vehicle with the same paint code they can do your cover for free or may just a bit if it requires polishing and buffing out some orange peel.
