Grille thieves struck again! This time my driver side while I was at Walmart!!

Anyone else have this problem? And any tips on how to prevent it?

**positive news***
Just installed my new rear wiper motor and it works flawlessly. Finally no more hand wiping with my spare blade haha! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fe2a4ab82c.jpg

Had that happen to me a year ago, and they damaged the nosepiece, as well.

Didn't know that they were something that gets stolen... I had one go missing a few months back and I had my mechanic order one and put it on when I had my car in for other service. It didn't cost that much and the car looks a whole LOT better with 2 of the kidney vents and not just one! It looked so sad with 1 missing. I figured the plastic just fatigued, and I hit bump at some point and it's sitting on some road in the bushes somewhere?

Cheers,

I guess people get jealous seeing our beautiful Bavarian babies & decide they want to take a piece of it with them [emoji848]

I've had the brake cooling ducts taken off my e30 cabrio before, but never grills.
