Default securing hub caps

Please advise best way of securing hub caps on 944 wheels.
I do not want to have them stolen.

Hub caps?

You mean center caps, or the wheels themselves...
or did someone put generic wheels on your car?

I started reading from the bottom up, so I didn't see this thread until I posted this to the other one:
"I don't know of a single 944 that came with hub caps. Unless you mean the small center cap in the middle of the wheel. They can be secured by removing the wheel and putting a small drop or 2 of silicone adhesive on the seam. This will make it difficult for anyone to remove from the front but will let a tire technician remove it from the rear."

I use silicone glue also, although for an obscene amt of money you can buy special retainers from the companies.
