F$@(@#*$ stole my bumper grilles..

They nabbed them from my bumper while I was having dinner with some ladies last night...

They did it right out in front of the restaurant too! I checked the security cameras, and all that's seen is another 55 roll up, a guy hop out, do something in front of my car, hop back into the other car, then take off...

No plates, and the video quality was not that great either.


Grrrr, why does it have to be my car?


Looks like the hunt is on for cheap 55 bumper grilles... Might just do a 63 nose if I can't get the grilles on the cheap.

Sucks man, but Karma will get them 10 fold. May their ********* shrivel up in a pot of boiling water at the hands of some evil car guru.

Happened to me 2 months back. Since then I found a way to screw these grills in so they just don't pop out.

What restaurant and city were you in when this happened? As others have asked, any details on the other car such as color or features of the car?

Any chance you could scan more of the security video? If this was at a restaurant, most likely the thieves saw your car as they came out and decided to nab the grills, so the security footage may see images of the people leaving the restaurant going in to their car. I'd think it's highly unlikely that someone is just gonna roll from one place to the next looking for grilles.
