Angry 1199 Foundation Frame and License Plate Stolen at Mall!

Walked back to my car that was parked in the Century City Westfield Mall(Los Angeles) lot and discovered someone stole my license plate and 1199 Foundation frame! How pathetic...

Effers. Fwiw my police buddies tell me that the 1199 is not a legit foundation, so maybe the joke is on the dbag that stole it.

But can't discriminate against low class people, unfortunately.

Oh man that sucks, I go there all the time. Where were you parked? In the lower level or first level? Someone stole my year tag off my Cayenne once sucked to have to deal with getting a new one when I was in the process of selling the car.

I was parked in the first level, close to AMC Theater escalators. The thief even took the screws!

A few months ago, someone thought it would be fun to steal the rear tow hook bumper cover. AFAIK, this piece does not fit other C Class models. The replacement comes unpainted and had to be painted...

Sorry to hear that.

I never leave my baby alone in parking structures and just use my daily beater.

your police buddies do not benefit from the foundation, only the families of downed CHP officers do.

and yes, my legit 11-99 frame has gotten me out of 4 speeding tickets on the 280 and 880 in the past 4 years i've owned it.

I'm sure it's not a fool proof thing as tickets are issued subjectively anyway. But it's always interesting to compare notes.

I knew a guy who got pulled over in his Acura RDX and he didn't have the frame installed, but he did have the ID card right under his drivers license. It got him out of a ticket.
