I know how it feels, somebody took my rear crossed flags emblem off about two weeks ago. 
Good luck with the repair!

Vette Vandalized...
Rant on! 
Girlfriend was in town and we went out with her parents for her father's Birthday. We stayed the night at the parents house and my Vette was parked in the couldesac.
This is a very nice neighborhood but some little *****
decided that they wanted to rip off my front C5 symbol with a screwdriver &/or paint scraper. 
They scratched up both the bumper and hood and threw the bent & cracked symbol under the car. 
Why the F#$* not take the damn thing if you're going to rip it off!!!
It amazing that you can't have nice things because other people, for some reason or another, find pleasure in screwing them up. Rant off!

Sorry to hear about that. Some kids can be such little ******. Case in point; When I was 13 yrs old it was rumored that if you 'secured' 1000 Mercedes hood ornaments you could trade them in for a new Mercedes. We new that was crap but those metal stars did look cool on your bedroom shelf. And they came off so easy (spring loaded, a few twists and turns and voila gone!). We all should have been thrashed.
Hmmm, maybe if you collect 1000 Vette emblems you can trade them in on a new Vette!

If they broke it off and then threw it under your car, odds are it was someone you know. That is normally a personal attack from someone you have possibly pissed off in the past. That is just a slap to the face more than anything else...yeah I know I watch to much Court TV. Sorry to hear about the damage either way.

Sorry that happened to you. It’s difficult to understand why people behave as they do. Maybe they are jealous or maybe they think they are cool??? 
Hopefully when they grow up some other POS will do it to them.
