Stolen Window and Trunk Lips

So today I got back from school, parked on the street for the 5 minutes it was gonna take me to change. Run up to my apartment to change and get ready for work, come out to my car and both my trunk lip and rear window lip ripped off, 3m tape still there. Thieves piss me off. Get a job and work for your own stuff. :rippedoff

naw man, providence. and i haven't pissed anyone off lately, just doing my own thing. not that i can recall. im keeping my eye out around the neighborhood though.

also pissed about the parking ticket i got today for an "expired meter" when i clearly had a valid meter ticket. thats another story though.

yeah unfortunately this type of thing is happening more and more often. people are getting desperate and fearless. the window spoiler you can replace fairly cheap (eBay)...but the type-s OEM lip is pricey.

maybe try insurance? got vandalism coverage?

I'll get some pics in a bit.

Yeah i plan on replacing both with some ebay spoliers. Just mad cuz i just got both installed, and being in college, money's tough to come by. I'm sure my deductible would be more expensive than getting them off ebay. oh well, im just SOL.

How could you not have that spoiler already? I thought your car might as well be called a UA7.

Sorry to hear about your stolen trunk lip and roof spoiler. I know alot of you dont believe in retaliation or guns. I on the other hand feel differently. I hate bullies, pedophilers, rapist, (PEOPLE THAT STEAL) you guys get the jist. That's why I clean my 9, 45 and my AR in front of my house in the daytime and nights on my days off. I even sleep on my roof sometimes and my neighbors love me for it. Yeah I am a paranoid war junkie and just got back from iraq.
Would I kill the guy that stole his roof spoiler. No!! But I would tattoo his forehead "I like to steal roof spoilers from hard working americans". What about a tattoo near the tramp stamp area that says I like stealing please punish me? Alright Im done.

You sound like an irresponsible " gun owner "

Would love to see you "shoot" someone if they're stealing your car. Your ass would be sent straight to prison. If you know how self defense laws work you wouldn't be bragging.


btw...Thank you for your service to our country

I beg to differ.
I can kill an intruder in my own home and get away scotch free. this castle law also extends out into my yard and car.

I love Texas.

Yes, Texas and FL are like that.
Im under the impression he resides in Orange county NY where you can't just go outside blasting at someone.

In NY , "retreat" is required.


i love Texas too lol

Maybe you should learn to read before commenting.

He never said he would shoot anyone that stole from his car.

So maybe you're the irresponsible poster.
