some thug today stole the rear emblem of my new car! paint damage and a huge scratch. i am pissed.
* damage around the area of the emblem. if i know/find out who's responsible i will personally cut their fingers off.
i just found out they also took both emblems off my buddy's collectable M coupe, we were in the same lot of the markville shopping mall in markham ontario.
toronto members please take note and be cautious.

Wouldn't you love to catch them in the act?

I had my ML55 (which my wife drives now) keyed 18 months ago all down the side... both doors. I still don't think I am over it.

Really sorry to here about your E60 --- It's a work of art and for some clown to do that just sucks!!!

Dude, That is totally f*@ked up. I hope you can possibly find the bastard and castrate him.

man, that sucks ! so sorry to hear that. you know what, i think right now is summer and a lot of stupid, uncivilized kids have nothing to do but walking around the malls. they are just jealous and not even have guts to go to the showrooms to check out the cars. i had my e39 keyed awhile ago all across the trunk and even the professional detailers couldn't remove some of the scratches. cut their fingers off isn't enough, i agree with kigerka - castrate them. not only that, either flush it to the toilet or feed it to a bulldog!

I'm really sorry this happened to you. Hopefully it does not cost that much to repair so you can just get it fixed and not let it bother you that much.

It's a shame that you can't have anything nice nowadays.

Really sorry about that, Rollee. I feel bad thinking about it. That is a real downer for all of us and will certainly dampen the enthusiasm. Little Barstards, that's what they are.

rollee, so sorry to hear about the vandalism to your car.

I get sick thinking about it too.

In my experiences, the only thing that helps me deal with things like this is that I just have to keep telling myself, it's only a car, it's just a piece of metal and can be fixed, etc. We all love our cars so much but once in a while we have to remind ourselves that it's only a car.

I know that's not much consolation but it's probably the only thing you can do in these situations I guess.

Keep your chin up buddy!

Are you referring to the car damage or the cutting off of the fingers?
