20 years ago some low-life scumbag took "souvenirs" from every car in the road where I lived.

A two second job for the lowlife causes considerable hassle for the vehicle owner.....shame they don’t get caught more often!

It used to be a pretty common thing to do back when I was a kid. Not that I did it my dad would have killed me, but kids used to take some pride in collecting car badges especially rarer ones than Ford etc. sad to see it still happening.

VW badges were prized back then. I've heard people superglued scalpel blades behind their badges.

My dad had his vw front badge stolen back in the day.
Was it the Beastie Boys who used to wear car badges around there necks on chains that started it??

Mine disappeared too back around April. I suspect taken off rather than fallen off.

I got a replacement from one of the "Jag Parts" type stores online but have yet to actually fit it. I do prefer the blank look aside from the plinth which is visible when closer and apparently requires extensive disassembly of the front-end.
