Mirrors stolen, again

Hey guys dont want to give anyone a complex but it looks like at least here in central texas C class mirrors are in high demand... or something...

So about 3 weeks ago I had my left mirror completly stolen and the casing on the right mirror from my work parking garage. I had them replaced and two weeks later at my girlfriend's apartment complex the casing off both mirrors were stolen over night! What the heck! I just had em replaced. I took a stroll around the apartment parking lot and found another C240 with the mirrors stolen.

Anyhow, keep your eyes peeled and watch were you park your car.

Sorry to heaer that dude. Mirrors and xenons seem to be in high demand these days. Benzos are now just as vulnerable as any car.

If you have a silver colored car, I can set you up with 4-8 sets of covers with blinkers...most covers are NEW but have somekind of scuff marks...some covers are used and scuffed as well...all covers come with blinkers...other colors available as well...

Err... I'd be chillin with a baseball bat around the corner and a camera on the car. Just turn the camera off before you start swinging. The other thing is, even if you're sure they aren't packin heat, just assume they are holding something. Best thing to do is pull up with a camera, say cheese, and drive away, then turn it over to police.

Thanks for the warning though. Sorry to hear of your misfortune.
