A few times a week I find that when I come back to my car, someone's fiddled with the hood ornament. Anyone have a good schematic for a low voltage/high amperage electrification circuit for the star? Alternate suggestions considered as well.

Thanks all!

It would be cool to wire it to the horn so it blows when they move the star a little. They will sh*t themselves. If you install that you have to get a dashcam for the footage.

years ago on my old C230 I had 3 hood emblems stolen, I gave up and left it off at the third time...not only that back in the day when stealing "chromies" was the thing, pissed me off so much. now I just leave the rubber/plastic tire valve caps on in fear of it becoming a trend again hahaha.

Mr. Bond, is that you?

does it happen on the same location you park? install a dashcam if youre not ready to part with the standing star.

People with OCD should never own a Mercedes with the standing star, I find myself all the time trying to position it to be right and can never find the perfect angle. Also as a sidenote who can remember all the "gangstas" wearing them on a chain around their neck?

You could change to the detachable star... i had it a 210 once..

pardon me! I have OCD Doesn't bug me....
the guys wearing them? Does that still happen? Thought that was just in the 80's LOL

Ha ha. The same people stealing them in the 80's , many of them are still alive and kicking. As they say, old habits die hard. .
