Stolen VW badge

[Richard Gagg]

Last week someone pried the chrome VW badge off the trunk lid
of our Jetta. Two ugly scratches where they stuck a screwdriver under
the edge of it. The other 4 VW's in our development had the same thing
on the same night.
The VW dealer says 21 bucks for a new one.

Anyone else suffered from this?

Why would someone want all those badges?

Does anyone know of a VW sticker the same size? obviously that
would be a little less attractive next time.

Thanks

Hmmm... Sounds like the dealer has a reason to want all those badges...

I didn't have my batdges stolen, at a car show in CT 2 weeks ago my valve
covers on my wheels were stolen. Special order ones. That sucked and then
I lost the show. IF I every find that person!

That sucks. Hopefully someone will catch one of the punks in the act and
introduce their skull to a Louisville Slugger. (Oh, sorry - not very
politically correct.) Hopefully someone will help these disenfranchised
youths and intervene with an understanding and compassionate counselling
program designed to increase their self-esteem. Naaa - on second thought,
just whack 'em in the head with the bat.

The worst feature of the NB is that stupid swivelling emblem covering the
rear hatch handle. It's HUGE, it's CHROME and it swivels on a tiny pivot
point. A three year old can twist it off and not damage the face of the
emblem. Some have already been reported stolen. Since the hatch can be
popped from inside the car or via the remote, I'm going to seal mine
shut. I have never used it anyway.

I'm almost ready to buy a new badge -maybe I'll just put on some
rubber gloves, rub the underside of it with poison ivy and then affix it.

I've heard of folks getting poison ivy from camping gear that was in
contact a year previously.

Now I can just picture that brat getting my new badge and slipping it in his
pants pocket 8^)) .

Is that a good idea? I can picture some puke using a screwdriver to pry the
emblem off, it he can't just easily snap it off. Instead of making it hard
to get off, why not make if "off".

If you are not going to actually use it, is there a way to quickly pop it
off and take it with you (or put it in the glovebox) when you aren't with
the car. And then pop it back on, when driving around or showing the car.
If its missing, the puke will just figure that someone else took it.

Just an idea.....
