    Effing thieves!

    So I flew home over Thanksgiving to visit the family. Dove myself to the airport, and had to park in economy since the garage was full. Didn't think much of it since it was only a couple of days, very crowded, gated with security guards, etc..

    I come back to discover my front license plate cover (the OEM firebird logo on the nose between the fog lights) has been stolen.

    Airport security was of course useless since there's no cameras out there.

    Most annoying this is...I'm in CA still where there's a front license plate law, so scouring junkyards was pointless because Cali cars won't have one. Thankfully ws6store sells OEM replacements (for $129 ) so I'll have a new one on the way here shortly, but still...not the way I wanted to end my holiday weekend.

    On a side note...at least I found something to make me smile today...

    That sucks, man. On another note, her saying "subscribe on my face" kind of turned me on.

    Really sucks man.

    When you get the new one, install it with security Torx screws.
    It won't stop a professional but it will sure stop a random act of opportunity.

    Also, I thought that girl looked familiar

    Yeah, I planned on that. Just enough to make it take too long to be worth the effort in a crowded parking lot at least.

    And yep, that's her.

    I also vote tamper-proof torx screws.

    Look at the bright side that the fix wasn't more expensive or they didn't steal the car.
