Default Vette Broken into and found this.....

My Vette was broken into last night and had all my CDs stolen and a pair of $300 Oakleys. Nothing was broken and all seems to be ok, but, on my passenger seat I fond this black peice of plastic ($1 bill is only to give size comparison). Do any of you know if this came off of my Vette? And if so what is it? Thanks for the help

Looks like the tube that runs to the vent on the passengers side carpet.

It looks like the small ducting that directs air to the floor area thats my guess. Sorry to hear that your baby was broke into I hope they catch the sorry Bas$#^& that did it. Good luck to ya.

That's weak! I hate to hear stuff like that. Especially the CD's, that happened to me before. Took forever to build up my collection again.

Dang, with everybody burning their own CD's these days, they hardly seem worth stealing. What a drag. Sorry to hear it happened, man.

Very true! I keep the "real" CDs at home, and the "dupes" go in the car. Worst case, they get taken and I'm out $5-6 for more blanks, and the times it takes to burn them.

I was staring at this yesterday on my car while looking up under the dash - it directs air at the floorboard area - I noticed mine on the driver's side, right next to and towards the front of the lower part of the console.
Hope that helps.

sounds like some kids. They are the only ones who would still steal cds and oaklies and nothing else.

Unless they were laying out in the open and some one liked what they saw.
