i encountered a thief!

Ok, I'm in high school. So you're thinking what kind of a kid in high school drives a TL...I do. Well during 1 period. ONE LOUSY PERIOD, someone GANKED MY EMBLEM! I noticed it in auto during 2nd period, all i saw was the outline of the emblem...the remaining rubber cement and the two wholes. My heart shattered, it was like a piece of me was gone. It wasn't just that someone took my emblem...someone VIOLATED ME, they thought they could pull a fast one on me!?! Anyway, my friend hooked up a new emblem so it looks good now, but the little bastard that took it originally chipped off quite a bit of paint... Does anyone know how much these things cost from the dealer? (the trunk emblems)

Dang! I thought you were gonna tell us that you caught the low-life that was messing with your car!

I haven't had anything stolen yet... but one day I came back to my car and noticed black smudges around each of my door handles. Some scum was checking my doors to see if they were unlocked! :wow:

Later,

V.

I feel you guys... I just installed my mugen spoiler and some ass#$%^ ripped off my mugen emblem from the spoiler. This person must have been jealous, cuz they didn't even take the emblem... they just ripped it off and threw it on the floor...

Emblem has been reapplied...

If my dealer (Honda or Acura) touched anything in my car, I'd freak AND threaten to NEVEr comeback or BUy any EXTENDED warranties or cars!!!!! It's times like this when Jiffy Lube is worth it )

Same thing happened to my wife's TL. She just noticed one day that the large "A" emblem was scraped off - the bastard scratched the paint on the trunk getting it off too. Insurance paid to repaint the trunk and reapply all the emblems (they all have to come off for a repaint). The large "A" emblem costs $14.00 from the dealer. Some punk a$$ was too cheap to pay 14 lousy bucks!! Good thing I didn't catch him - he'd have met my Glock.
