Thank god it was only my star.
Now i have to replace it. I'm having a difficult time making the decision of getting another upright star or a flat hood badge. What do you guys think?
This is how it looked when it had the star.

Where'd this happen? At work. Where do i work? The library. I thought this may happen at school or someplace but never at the library. If i find out who it is, i'll have to instate some major fines on their card.

OMG that is sooo old skool. Remember they used to do that in the hood, in the 80's and make the star into a necklace pendant. LMAO damn vultures.
btw, go back to the star. So Classy.

Sorry to see and hear about that BS. I was clandestinely hoping my old star would disappear when I wasn’t looking so I could tell the Mrs. we “had” to upgrade. I anticipate your poll results will heavily favor the flat ones.
My old star is just sitting in the spares box. It is yours for the asking….if you want to go that route.

Can you take closer pictures?
Depending on whether the surround is still in tact or not, I'll trade you straight up for my upright star. I have mine just sitting around and was about to take it apart, but this may be a good situation for both of us. I'd need to see closer pics of your current one first, before making a decision.

Removable emblem
I worked for MB parts back in my teens...when people stole the emblem for necklaces. We had stars that were removable. I am 99% sure they were aftermarket, but I cannot remember back that far. I never cared much as I thought I would never be able to afford a Benz.
Anyone know if this is still an option?

I bought one for my parents' 300 SEL before, but of course, they forgot to take it off the car and it got stolen again. I think they had 5 total stolen from that car back in the day!
