Prevent Theft of Front Grille Center Star

Any good ways of preventing someone from stealing the front star? It's rather easy to turn/remove.


Thanks

When I park in a city garage, I park the nose of the car up against a wall as close as possible...like the front bumper almost touching the wall.

^^good option, i am not always the best judge of depth, so that wouldnt be the safest thing for me.

wish we have a font facing camera, that would be super useful in many situations

Is this really an issue .. do people go around stealing the giant front star from the middle of the grill? What the heck do they do with these things .. wear it around their neck like some idiot trophy?

Check the OP's location... that should answer the question.

.. just asking.

Given that I'm living over nine thousand miles from Detroit, I'm not up on the latest crime trends there.
