Most evenings my drive is empty,er in doors finishes work at around midnight and I come in at about 5am.Last night was the exception,we were both off work.The 320/7 was secure in the garage as it was first in. That left the 316Touring on the drive.And this morning I noticed that some lowlife has removed the roundel badge from the tailgate,scratching the paint with a sharp blade at the same time.B*****ds!!!!!!!

why on earth steal badges that go for a few quid on ebay?? I just dont understand people. If you want a badge go to a scrappy and get one for peanuts.

One guy i dated had about 20 mercedes stars on his wall, incuding a huge one off the grill. I didnt get to know him long enough to ask why on earth he nicked them??

whilst at home in wales I've lost 2 Bottle top alloys, hubby lost 2 opel manta alloys, we've also lost our aerial on th 4dr.


The worrying thing is, you cant do much about it, they need a very sharp blade to get the badge off, so can't really argue with them! (unless you have a shotgun.....)
