Just looking to see if anyone else out there is a victim of having their Tow Hook Covers stolen??? My front cover was stolen, then 2 weeks later the rear cover! I know they're not expensive to replace, but it's a pain to have to have them color matched/ painted. And, is it coincidence that my front & rear covers were stolen?? Just venting, thanks...

Isn't about being cheap.Not much about the e60 is cheap. Now I question if my e60 is being targeted. Its just a $15 piece, no big deal.my e60 isn't modified (yet) like most of yours out , there, but what if it was??

Was just venting when I posted this thread, that's all.

Where are you parking your car ... the rest of us should avoid that location.
Have you searched Ebay or CraigsList to see if there is a seller's market for these things??
Maybe a BOLO on other BMW forums is warranted!

I wonder if it is just people pulling things off just to be dicks.

Seems like it's happening at the lot at work. Will check eBay if there is a market for these items today...
I have a friend at Open Road BMW and he brought me in a front cover, black ( mines Alpine) I popped it in and it looks pretty nice to me... May help from getting stolen again?! Lol!
He's the one who noticed the rear cover missing, I'll ask him if he can get me a rear one too!!
