Remind me to stay out of your neighborhood. (Where do you live anyway?)

This is ridicules! I live in a condo complex. I started putting a car cover over my car to protect it from leaves, tree pollen, etc. But now, after reading this, I think the cover is just as good (if not more) for protecting my car from getting vandalized.

I strongly suggest U guys invest in a cover. It takes less than 2 minutes to put on & take off!!!

The base on my star has been tampered with. It looks like a screwdriver has been used to try and get under the paint. Now I hav a massive paint chip that has to be fixed

That works for the newer models.

But, if you have the older MB sedans, DON'T put on a SEC style sport grille as a replacement for the emblem, they're super ugly.

Don't read this thread!

Yesterday, after reading this thread for the first time, I went home to find my star flattened.

Don't know if it was pure vandalism or attempted theft, but it was infuriating nonetheless.

Don't read this thread -- it is cursed!!
