Lost flags

anyone had their flag emblems stolen off their vette?

lost mine today. took the front one and broke the rear one.

fortunately, no visible damage. a few scratches that will be covered by new emblems.

i guess a new necklace has been made.

Do you have a 2009? The 2009 emblems have a chrome appearance surround rather than the stamped aluminum appearance of all earlier cross flag emblems.

This is why we need to protect our second amendment rights. So we can shoot the @##@%%.

Stealing the Corvette emblem is just wrong. Now if they stole a Z51 badge, I could understand that.

If I see someone wearing emblems on a gold chain, I'll punch them in the mouth for you. Bastards.

Hmmmm.....interesting. Just tonight I took both of mine off in order to replace them with the chrome-edged 2009 ones. The original ones were a bit** to get off - it's hard to imagine that anyone would go to the trouble to steal them.

Ooch. Mercedes owners face the same sort of problems with thieves too cheap to go to a chevy dealer to buy the flags.
