Front V Crest Stolen

While I came out from my car yesterday, looking at the front, notice my front V Crest disappear . At first I thought it drop out, but looking back, I remember they used Silicon glue to glue it. So can't be it just drop off. While looking closely, my black lower small piece of bumper was loose, all the screws that was screwed onto the Main bumper was gone! So I concluded the Steel Silver V Crest was stolen !!

How on earth would someone steal my V Crest? I would say not much cars can fit that V crest, am I right?

I just do not understand

Sigh....

Thumbs down

Ya,

I know .... but I was damn surprise that they go thru all these hard trouble to steal the crest. First of all, its not worth a lot of money. Second, I do not think it can be sold to some second hand shop??

The worst is I need to redo my lower bumper...Gosh !

Last week, I had some kids in a driveby and use a crowbar onto the back windscreen last week... and it was a rainy night too. It was parked by a main street, in front of the hotel. So much for a romantic weekend getaway!

Wow, all that trouble for that little rotary ornament? He/she/they must be really desperate, probably will try to sell it on EBay or something. I don't think an 8 owner will steal from a fellow 8 owner.

Do you have strakes too?

There are really some idiotic people out there.

I remember the rage was to steal mercs/BMW's emblems about 20 years back. IT somewhat stopped when the gov imposed real strict vandalisim law.

Then again laws will not matter to the dumb *** who does not know how serious the penalties are or simply dun care.

I think we must cut the finger of one of these ******** to set an example. Do not to screw around with any mans car/bike, you will pay the price. What is with these fools, is it envy or jealousy ?

The rolls royce's is nice; but you will almost never get it. Most new models will auto retract into the bonnet.

After a run into Malaysia about a year ago, when I got home and washed my car and I noticed the front crest was literally just hanging there..so close to falling off. I applied some two way tape temporarily. Then I went into MM for servicing and asked them to properly attach it....with screws....it hasn't moved since. I doubt yours was stolen Drifter, it probably just fell off. Make sure you get the next one attached with screws.
