Just had another emblem stolen... Chime in if you've had a badge stolen

i just bought a BMW 6 series. I come out to find my round BMW emblem stolen off my hood.

Why do people steal emblems? I've had various emblems stolen off past cars, even emblems I have put on that do not exist in this country (I had the Efini badge on the trunk of my RX-7 stolen off. Efini is a model of the RX-7 made in Japan).

Now I am waiting for my replacement emblem to put on. I am just happy whoever did it didn't scratch my paint in the process

Can you even wear that BMW emblem as a necklace?

Sorry to hear, that's just stupid.

Some little ghetto rat probably has it on the fender of his bike. Nothing is safe today unless you have it locked up and carry at least a Glock 40...

LOL I have never had an emblem stolen off my car, sounds like you have bad luck or somebody with a personal vendetta against you.

When you install the new emblem, put a small amount of C4 under it with a pressure switch hooked to the battery. He won't do it again.

Had a buddy in highschool do it all the time. He collected them. Had a decent collection. I remember some mercs had a cable connected to the ornament so you couldn't steal it
