just last night my car was parked at the front of the bar and thankfully i was standing outside talkin to my buddy at the same time a suburban pulled into the parking space next to my car. not only could this girl not park but there would've been no way in hell she would've been able to get out of the driver side without hitting my car, so as soon as they shut the engine off i clicked the panic button on my car lol they all looked over just as they were about to open they're doors and decided to get out on the passenger side since they had plenty of room over there . . . then the girl grabbed the keys and re-parked somewhere else lol i'd say either park closer to where you can keep an eye on your car or get a beater

Ya you guys are right, I was just trying to think of something that would keep my emblems on my car. I'm just happy that they stole the plastic $12 one and not any of my custom ones from emblempros, those cost a little more, I could care less about cost though it's the idea of some piece of **** touching my car that pisses me off the most. I was considering buying a beater until I had to get the tranny rebuilt, so that depleted most of my funds. Besides I would hate to have to drive another car and not be able to enjoy mine day in and day out you know? Hopefully I'll go to the academy soon so I don't have to deal with this kind of garbage anymore. I just put some new valve stem caps from afterthoughtsauto that have black ends and a blue bowtie on them, let's see how long those last.

Thiefs suck man, they climed my 7 1/2 gate to steel my Z28 emblem off my car. Yes 1 z28 emblem...i dont know why. Now my 2 pits chill outside waitin for stupid ****'s to climb the gate...nice midnight snack if u ask me.
Also don't buy a cover man, to much attention in a parking lot. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet ya kno. Unless you buy a beater...

You can never be too careful nowadays.
Covering the car isn't ridiculous at all. just make sure it's tight, you don't want it to blow off one day and end up 20 cars down the lot.

If someone follows you.. floor that bitch

I never had anything stolen off my car but while my car was parked at work in the very back of the parking lot some idiot decides to drive crazy and smashed into the side of my passenger door.

I say park it right up front and throw the cover on it. Better safe than sorry. If someone can door ding you through the cover then they need to be on american gladiator

Highway Patrol, hopefully pretty soon.

They went through all that just to steal one Z28 emblem??? Pffff what a joke...

Wow they couldn't find the bright yellow hatch button and they left the wallet in the car??? Wow...

One thing that all of these stories have in common is the mind-numbingly stupid pieces of **** that are too retarded to get a real job, so they resort to stealing worthless pieces of plastic off of cars. "Hey I don't have any money, but check out this cool emblem I stole off a Camaro today!" These guys are ******* GENIUS!!!!

I think Im going to look into the Viper alarm or something similar that will have the controller that lets me know if its going off.

But yea thats some **** man i am scared for my car because there is a lot of bums and a run down trailer park that there is a lot of drug heads living in there right next to the warehouse that i work at. and i am out in the company vehicle all day and no way i can keep an eye on my car.

I would start with a car cover then when you can go get a damn good car alarm for your car so you may be able to catch someone in the act and beat there *** down.

^^^^^ That is some funny ****!!!


Sorry about your loss man, I was in court one time, my Z28 in the courthouse parking lot. Got out of court, went to my car to find it keyed from front to back on both sides, down to the metal. You have no idea how mad I was. Of course my piece of **** ex-wife had somebody do it while we were in court and the courts only "monitor" the parking lot cameras, they don't record. So I was screwed. Either way, I say use a car cover. If nothing else, it will keep it from getting rained on and sun damaged.
