Default Somebody stole my Emblem

What the hell does anyone need my emblem for anyways?!! I dont even know how you pull something like that off. I'm sorry, but if you pull somebody's emblem off in the front of thier house while they are sleeping, you are serisouly fu*ked up. So I guess I am in the market for a new emblem, what are your suggestions? I should be glad they didnt scrape it off or something, it looks like they pulled it right off.

When you leave your car unattended outside overnight, a missing emblem is probably the least of your worries.

Kids. You gotta' love em...

Either the self tapping nuts that hold your emblem on were loose or were gone, those emblems aren't too easy to get off unless you pop the hood. I had the emblem on my old 924 attempted to be stolen, it wouldn't come off for them but they did bend the **** out of it and scratch the paint. The neighbor next door lost his BMW emblems off both of his cars,and even tried to accuse me of it till I showed him mine.

the thing is, that the nuts(there are two of them right?) were both still attached to the hood.

Enjoy.

Last night someone walk by and knife two of my tires. NEW tires. You know how much nice tires for a 928 are when you in the mdidle of freeking no where? Yea.

More importantly, do you know how expensive it is to get the tires to a shop, with your local tow trucks rates? Fortuantly, I was able to skip that, but still!

Thievin' bastards!

What colour is your car?

Replacement emblems are available in a variety of colour cominations - the silver/pewter variation may look nice.

The world is just sooooooo wrong sometimes.

I have always wondered where they breed these kids, so we can go apply more DDT.

Sorry to hear 'bout that.

So far I count myself lucky that all I've suffered is a 6" scratch on the hood (through the topcoat), and someone who decided to try to tie one of my windscreen wiper arms in a knot.

Remember the VW emblems in the eighties? (the name of the band escapes me)

People suck. I was at my friends dealership today and someone pryed the 4 ring audi emblem off the trunk of a 97 A4 w/ a screwdriver! 4 or 5 gouges to the metal!

Same thing happened to me before.
When the emblem was brand new.
I think that maybe they think it is gold or something.
