Please don't try to steal my side markers!

I'm really hoping that all the FRS & BRZ owners don't start the vicious cycle of stealing clear side markers from each other's cars.


Last night I parked my car at the Big 5 store in Torrance (PCH/Crenshaw) for 30min, as well as at the South End tennis club in Torrance for 30min. At each location while parking I noticed there was an FRS parked nearby me. Upon leaving both locations I noticed that the FRS' had already left.


When I got home after those two errands, I saw somebody had tried to pry my clear side marker off my car. They broke one of the loops that holds the fender liner clip and scratched up the bumper around the clear corner.


Is it really worth damaging a fellow twin owner's car just so you can steal a set of $40 clear corners??? Seems highly likely the culprit was probably the owner of one of those 2 FRS' that I saw. The side markers are a total pain in the butt to remove anyway. (as the thief found out as they were not successful in removing them... only damaging my fender)


I thought this only happened to civic owners in the 1990's... Karma is a bitch, so please don't start this trend.


***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE***


WTF? It's been exactly two days short of 1 year since someone tried to steal my clear side markers, and this morning I walk out to my garage and notice some f*cker tried to steal them again! (probably from when I was at the market the day before)

The same drivers side clear side marker is protruding out, and the same plastic liner and plastic tab has been ripped open and damaged to try an access the side marker. Just as last time they were NOT able to remove the side marker, but ended up damaging the paint on my bumper yet again!

When will these idiots learn that removing side markers is a pain the butt, and that you won't be able to steal them quickly in a public place. Thanks for causing >$100 worth of damage to steal a $40 part!
