Angry Stolen Corner Markers (rant)

So, this morning I walk out to my car to find:

I know it is not the end of the world. I just need to vent!
I know these markers fit only two model years. I would hope no person on I-club would have taken them. So, my gripe is why would a person take only the markers? I have wheels and tires, an exhaust that can be easily taken (as I have found out once before), a Yakima roof rack and various things on the car that are way more valuable than markers. To top it off they were cut off of the wiring harness. So, if I wanted to replace them I have to find the complete marker with the bulb seat with a pigtail.

So, my question is what Body shop went to Midnite Auto for parts?

So, I am on the hunt for the CF inserts (hopefully they will just snap in place).

Sorry to hear. Sad people can't keep their hands on their own ****. They are just gonna get taken again if you replace them with CF. Get some other cover and paint it black.

Thats why Rolls Royce hood ornaments retract into the hood when its parked because retards steal **** as they walk by.

And this is way easier to take than an exhaust, wheels etc. So epoxy the backside when you put the new ones in.

^Thanks for the advise. I have plans for that spot. I may just delete it all together, though it is a unique thing about the Bug eye. Never realized how big they are, now that there is just a hole.

I dont want to laugh at your misfortune, but this is funny. haha

It's like when I had my Jack in the Box antenna ball stollen, or the time my license plate frame was stolen and my lic. plate re-installed securely.

I understand, I am laughing as well, I just needed to rant. It is just sad that folks just can't keep their hands off other peoples stuff. The irony is that I have had the same thing happen with the license plate frame. The sad part was that it was a dealer frame, from a dealer in WA state. Just makes me mad that I have to spend more money to replace them.

F...ng people man! They still whatever they can. few months ago I got stolen fog lights covers, one (!!!) center cap from my Rota wheel and blue valve stem covers from Walmart (those cost $1.99).
It had to be someone with 02-03 WRX, probably stole it to replace his missing one.
You should go with carbon fiber ones, they are not expensive and will look way better than factory ones.
