How many of you have had parts stolen off your car?
Windshield wipers walked away in the middle of the night on a german plated rental car.
Body panel inserts, front grill, and the glass out of mirrors were professionally removed from my private car. I didn't replace the grill and the plastic body part, and bought some cheap stick on mirror glass replacements and slapped them on. Heating and autodimming doesn't work, but they've stayed put for the last 9 months...
Anyone else have experience with the car parts gnomes?
you know, the grill was stolen from a dimly lit parking area in the center of the some old buildings in wroclaw... you wouldn't happen to have an SLK grill for sale, would you?

lol in newark cops are equiped with lojack! but in poland they dont even have basic computers in there 100kmph max cars atleast in newark they can locate a chop shop but in poland NAAADAAAAAA
In a county where car part theft is common i would say it is a smart idea. If a tiny, barely visible (to the driver) crack on the edge of the mirror is all it takes to prevent someone from stealing your side view mirrors, then hell i'd do it.
I have seen Polish friends remove their wipers and put them inside the car before leaving their car parked up for the night , but this was in a city , out in the sticks where i live , they leave the car unlocked with the engine running while they go into a shop...!
I wish someone would steal our Maluch, Its just sitting on the drive pissing out oil :( Maybe if I put a BMW badge on it somebody would take it away.......

Three years ago was the last incident. They tried dismantle grill to reach engine and steal whole car. Since the majority of thieves rush to West we have quiet on the housing estate. Nowadays I feel more comfortable when parking an older car among luxury cars. I hope not to be a target of sticky guys.
Been living here for over a year now, of which 8 months on foreign plates, never had any problem but the occasional scratch from blonde drivers trying to get out of a parking space, so I think it's quite safe here to leave your car...
