Just a great day yesterday here in sunny Tampa, FL. Had the car out for a cruise and parked it in a nearby park to attend an outside concert. Came back to the car and some idiot stole the front emblem off my car. Just had to vent

There are some real jerks out there. Sorry they violated your car. I hope they didn't do any damage to your car. It is for that reasons I don't take my car out to public events, shopping malls, Wall-Mart, K-Mart, or places where I can't keep an eye on it.

It's sad to say, but I'd have to agree. If you do this often enough, something WILL happen.

LOL at Sgt Pyle. Yeah, but what a way to go!!!

Speaking of 1st class DORKS - I saw a guy come into a parking lot where we were all waiting in our cars in a line for someone to leave. This guy butts passed all of us. Cuts right behind a guy backing out and takes he slot! Gawd what a flaming ***!!!! When I was a young man there would have been a real hoedown right there in the parking lot!!!!

Man that stinks. I'm sure they had a big laugh. Don't worry, what comes around, goes around and they will get theirs. Good luck getting the emblem replaced. No other damage I hope. It never ceases to amaze me how some people just can't stand for others to have something nice.
