Question HID Ripoff Problem In Chicago Area?

A lot in the news lately about how common it is to have your HID's ripped off. Just wondering if this is a problem in the Chicago area?

Look at this, so sad. This post has been out for a few days now and only 5 Chicagoans representin'. No wonder I rarely see fellow TL-Sers on the road. The only ones I usually see are TL-Ps driven by old ladies with big hair.

I have the Hella/Osram 7000K HID conversion on my 1st Gen TL and have had no problems with people trying to rip me off. Of course, that is probably because everyone knows the 1st Gen TL's didn't come with HID's stock.

No problems that I have heard of.

BTW, just 'cause I have an '01, don't lump me in with the old ladies.

I don't have big hair!

Don't get me wrong GoHawks63. It's always nice to see a fellow TL owner (S or P). I just get disappointed many times when driving by one and they are "usually" senior citizens. They won't even bother looking over. I would normally give a nod and thumbs up if they look back over.

Which part of east side are you talking about CrazyBimmer? By Rogers Park or something?
