I lived in an apartment many moons ago where my Fairlady stayed parked under a shade tree undisturbed. One day after a couple of weeks since I drove it last, I went to go for a spin. I noticed the driver's side emblem was gone, walked to the passenger side and it's gone also.
About a week later, I saw a Nissan Sentra parked a few buildings from mine with "Fairlady Z" emblems on it. I called the police, the guy admitted he stole them. No jail, ticket or anything. I got my emblems back minus the pins he broke off and a crap load of silicone he used to glue them on.
Back then those emblems where hard to find and not cheap. I wanted to kill that guy.
